    why Larry Merchant should not go

    quote"Im sick to death of this guy. He is extremely boring and never gives boxers credit for anything. On top of all that he is a racist too, He hates Mayweather, Judah and many others. I've never ever heard him give credit to Mayweather in any of the fights ive seen. But when Pacquiao knocks out the guy Mayweather just beat at a catchweight then he goes wild with excitement. He is incredibly biased and his negativity to anything and everything makes watching boxing seem less credible.

    I hate this guy. He MUST go"
    quote

    someone who thinks highly of himself opined that because he is sick of larry merchant because he feels and thinks thank mr. merchant always diss his favorite boxer and always ready to praise the boxer he hates mr. merchant should go and leave boxing. what kind of logic is that? because a person cannot and are not conforming to your preference and you personally hate him you want him to vanish/out of the sport that millions of people patronizes? what arrogance. for all the craziness, the supposed biases and shortcomings and excesses of mr. larry merchant, he has contributed so much to modern boxing and that hes part of its history that not anyone of you self righteous arrogant prik poser posters can equal even half of it in two lifetimes.
    sometimes this kinds of poser arrogant poster should be put in their proper place, and tell it to their face your opinion is ****.

    Totally agree with this post.Larry the Legend Merchant is key what he says you should listen to because he been around this great sport and its fighters for yrs now.If he saying he does not like Judah it's because of how Judah carry's him self in an out of the ring.Merchant gave Judah credit in his fights with Clottey,Cotto,and even Mayweather.But Merchant is no fool and can see a hand pic fight when there is one.He gave May his due after the Hatton fight and while he called the Hatton fight.But just like me a humble fan of boxing he wants to know what's next.Instead of being like the GOAT Ali and having some fun with Merchant making Merchant his Cosell he cry's and say's no one wants to give me my due.I for one think May has gotten better and more mature in interviews(When he wants to be)and you can't say enough about the man's skill but what do you want Merchant to do kiss his black ass?Larry The Legend Merchant will be miss(By me at least)when he is gone nobody is gonna tell it like it is like him.I got love for Max but he an't no Merchant.

      My problem with Larry is his credibility when it comes to reporting facts to the public.

      He asked shane mosley directly in a post fight interview would he take floyds challenge and shane wouldn't really answer. he asked him again and shane said he couldn't because he had to get a tooth fixed. Everyone agrees these are facts and they are easily viewed here and on youtube.

      When floyd returns from "retirement" to fight marquez, larry openly accusses floyd of ducking the top welterweights, and specifically says he ducked Shane Mosley. Huh?

      I may not feel as strongly as some other posters, but even if you hate floyd you have to be able to see why so many feel he is biased. IMO, he knows the truth but chooses to avoid it when the subject is a fighter he openly hates.

      I don't care who larry likes or hates, he is entitled to his own opinion. just tell the truth on the air.

        I have never liked Larry Merchant because he brings nothing to the telecast. He is known mostly for his little comments and his Andy Rooney type comments at the end of fights.

        Personally I could do without them. I think the best guy out there right now is Al Bernstein, unfortunately he's on Showtime. He actually TALKS boxing and doesn't get involved with all the philosophical bull****.

        I also think Max Kellerman is great, he's young, has fresh ideas and you can tell he loves the sport of boxing. He says things that are hot topics or opinions that most people on the internet feel.

                  I didnt get to see Tibbar's post. He was already on ignore

                  Larry Merchant is easily the worst commentator in boxing

                  And has been for a long time
