Why does HBO still have Larry Merchant calling fights?

[jrosales13]

Merchant is a legend, he's a straight OG. He speaks his mind.



Max Kellerman however....one night he's calling Pac the GOAT, the next night is criticizing his wins. Starting to think the dude is Bipolar.

Exactly right.

[BritishBoxing92]

cause he's a legend.

anybody who calls a boxer boring to his face in the an interview is cool in my book

hahahahahahahaha i have never seen that before larrys even better then i thought and floyd is even more of a prick then i thought especially when he talks really fast and stutters abit it makes me want to slap him and say STFU, lol its funny when floyd has his little bitch fits after fights especially with mosley he looked like he was going to cry

I think he is getting too old. He talks too damn slow. His opinions are hit or miss but he's ight. I just can't stand how slow he talks.

I agree that he needs to go. He takes forever to say things, and most of the time what he says is wrong anyway. Lampley is still very good though, imo.

*** hbo and its biased commentary altogether...colonel bob sheridan is the way to go.

[spyvsspy]

Merchant is the man with his LSD inspired trips over the mic. He sounds like he is drunk or high as hell but he has a bad ass attitude. Kinda like a mix of smart knowitall and sonuvabit ch

Damn you are right.
The Colonel was/is great! Who could forget his doing Foreman/Ali?

But where or when is he still doing this?

[withoutthee666]

Larry Merchant has less marbles remaining than Ike Ibeabuchi.

[southpaw_07]

they should get rid of the idiot Jim Lampley, he's only repeating what others are saying and doesnt have his own opinion about fighters and on top of that he seems to be a rascist pig as well, completely idiot and woman beater.

[any craic lad?]

I dont know i still like Merchant even though he does talk so slow his inputs are good and his after fight interviews are cool.
