I didnt like Larry Merchant in his interview last night

[Syf]

Merchant is bad for the sport..they should be trying to showcase their fighters not drag them down

Dump that overrated garbage in the same gutter with all the other defunct television personalities

larry merchant is a manny groupie---i really though that after he aksed floyd about the ost's floyd would bring up larry's alcoholism---he looked a little stagged last night----1st his eyes looked red, dreary, his voice slowed and slurred at usual, and then the ****er put on glasses to see better----lmao----he knew the alcohol was kicking in, and blurring his vision, so why not throw on some reading glasses, to help look the part---larry disrespected shane, he disrespected floyd as usual, while the fight was taking place, and floyd has put larry in his place before, after the baldomir fight, he's lucky floyd wasn't in his 24/7 mode, and brought up larry's alcoholism---that would made the win for floyd that much greater----

Merchant to Mosley:

"you virtually begged for this fight, what are your feelings now after losing so decisively?"

Calling Mosley a beggar, then rubbing the point that he lost so badly was pretty harsh of Merchant.
You'd think he'd show more empathy towards someone of Shane's class and considering he just lost.

Im a fan of Larry but sometimes his comments are unnecessary, especially last night when his hatred towards Floyd was apparent. Then again I guess that's what makes him so spectacular.

Larry Merchant is on Floyd Mayweather too!!! If you listen throughout the fight and pre fight.
You will notice him putting down Floyd Mayweather.


From "sucking the excitement out of the fight" to "Trying to control the negotiations like the NSAB"

I love Larry Merchant he's the best color analyst out there. With that said he is a big time hater of Mayweather and it kills him when Mayweather wins. That makes me laugh. Larry also plays favorites. He never grills Pacquaio, Gatti (RIP) and guys like De La Hoya and the Klitscho's. But I hate when he's not on the telecast

[-Antonio-]

It's not about Pacquiao/blood testing. It's about him putting salt in Mosley's wounds, it's nothing to do with him being straight forward as he could have asked the same questions without being a condescending prick.

Shane did beg for the fight and he did lose decisively so what's the problem?

Besides Merchant loves Mosley anyway.

[MOTHER DUCKER]

Im no fan of Berto either but Merchant was Karted out for that fight for some reason and made some ****** comments.

[champ007]

Merchant is a big Shane fan. He was probably very disappointed. He was very wrong for those comments. Merchant is the same guy who shouted "Shane Mosley I Love You." when he ko'd Margarito.

[Carpe Diem]

Emanuel Steward did gave Floyd props, but as usual he still was complaining about the fact that Floyd doesn't throw enough combination punches..

[Killa Killa]

Max Kellerman should take over FULL TIME and get this old hag out of boxing...

He was clearly biased the whole fight and gave forced credit when it was due...

[tredh]

Larry Merchant is a the SUPREME HATER OF HATERS. I have never really seen what is so great about him that people feel HBO boxing commentating team will go down when he leaves. The HBO team is already **** except for Steward and Lewis. **** Lampley as the play by play man always calls the fight wrong and that is terrible. If a person was to listen to Lampley call a fight on the radio then watch it on tv at home they would literally think WTF was Lampley talking about. Add Merchant depressing ass commentary and his fake ass poetic statements you have a ****ed up telecast IMO. **** Larry Merchant let his old go by the way side like they should have done a long time ago.
