Larry Merchant?

[kbpoetree]

Hey, just curious on what everyone thought about Larry Merchants comments after the Vargas fight last nigth. Not quite sure the exact words, but he totally doged the belt system and the media. Very surprising to hear coming from his mouth. Has B-Hop finally made his point in the boxing world?

Well Merchant felt that belts are becoming meaningless. It used to validate a boxer's career but he felt with there are so many alphabets out there that sometimes it's hard to know who's the chump or not. Look at British chump as well as the ***** slapper German champ like Ottke. Everybody stays in their backyard in their comfort zone to keep the belt and milk whatever they can get.

Exactly. He's very disgraceful and rude a lot of times to fighters.

I know, but I think Larry Merchant is a funny dude and does a good job.

[BLOODSHED]

He looks pretty damn good when put next to Jim Gray if you ask me.

My fav announcer is Al Bernstein. Doesnt sugar coat **** and knows his boxing. Max would be here too but he gets annoying really quickly.
