    "20 ca**** worth of diamonds unfortunately located in a setting of glass...

    and flawless versus jawless" (floyd-zab fight)
    ------
    “I think it all depends on how good this fight is. I don't know how to rank it. If this turns out to be a dramatic fight and Roy wins, people will look back at all three (in a fond way). But he has to win in a theatrical way. That would make it a great trilogy, maybe. Then maybe Tarver can go back to selling crack. Something he's good at.”

    Jim Lampley:
    “So, Larry, Floyd Mayweather wins the welterweight championship with a flawless display of self defense, then breaks into tears at the news conference saying that he’s underappreciated and vows that he’s only going to fight one more time. What’s goin’ on?”

    Larry Merchant:
    “I think he bored himself to tears, Jim.
    ------
    "He just drowned in Ocean's Eleven." -on Lennox being KO'd by Rahman
    ------
    (De La Hoya–Mayorga prefight)

    Jim Lampley:
    “Will the seething undercurrent of the buildup now be reflected in what we see in the ring?”

    Larry Merchant:
    “Probably. Sure, because Mayorga is a rude, crude dude in the ring as well as outside. In a sense, what we have here is class warfare with boxing gloves. Mayorga looks at him as a hated slumlord, and Oscar is coming to collect the rent.”

    "He's like a typhoon coming from the pacific!" (pacquiao dropped marquez 3 times in their first fight)
    Larry's statement are always classic, weather they are off the wall or deserving they're classic.

          thats why he is valuable to HBO.

          how bias he may have been labeled. he entertains and still could influence a lot of fight fans and boxing fans.
