Larry Merchant

[returnoframpage]

I think Kellerman was only on there because Steward was working in Harris' corner.

Well, yeah, Merchant has confirmed that. Whenever Steward is in the corner for a fight, Kellerman will be there.

Bad Larry!!!!!

[hairyflex]

LOL!!That **** is funny.

[team A]

He....just......talkksss......like......thissss... .


way too much for me

I could not agree more. I was watching the Hopkins fight tonight and whenever he started talking, he just seemed to drag the show to his speed, which is snail-like. I only started watching boxing recently and I already think that this man must go.

When is Larry going to retire?

Hopefully never

[ricecrispi]

The whole drunk thing is getting lame.

Anyway, Merchant is the best thing HBO boxing has going for it.

That geriatric old fart is so biased because who does he get paid by? HBO

The guys eyes are so bad he couldn't tell the diffference if there was bird **** on it.

I wish Toney would go up to his ass and punk his ass so the gets a heart attack and dies

Merchant knows **** about boxing and I always noticed he scores close fights really badly. He scores fights commercially, like how an uneducated boxing watcher would.

The fact is he is too old to score fights just like older guys don't box as well because reflexs go down the drain after 40 and vision after 50.


1.) Punching. Merchant thinks the guy landing more punch is better. Not always the case if the punchs don't hurt. He can't seem to distinguish clean punchs to punchs that are ineffective

2.) Ring generalship. Merchant likes guys to go forward and alway bagged on Hopkins, Toney, Mayweather for being counter punchers and going backuwards? Yet he kiss RJJ's ass so much he has RJJ's ******* imprinted on his lips.

3.) Efficiency. Merchant has no idea what this is and never has.

[Pinoy_Texan]

I don't know. I kinda find him funny. Just because his senile. He provides the comedy relief.

I enjoy both Larry and Max and would be cool with either of them behind the mic. I will admit that sometimes Larry tends to wander a little with his thoughts, and when it comes to Hopkins he can come off sounding a little like JUYJUY, but he is still entertaining and insightful on most occasions. I will tell you who I am really enjoying on the HBO telecasts, that is Roy Jones! I was never a big fan of him as a fighter, but he really provides some GREAT analysis during fights-- much better then George Foreman who used to have prolonged bouts of confusion on the air. It would be interesting to see Tyson sign with Showtime as their fighter in the booth.... I wonder if it will ever happen...

[felly smarts]

To me listening to Larry is like listening to Jerry's Final Toughts. Some how those analogy's make sense to him.

[gnostic19]

i hate merchant and now that kellermans back he should take his spot

Kellerman can't do color...not his style. Did you ever LISTEN TO him do tuesday night fights? Not good.
