Thoughts on Larry Merchant

[markfrombrookly]

Is it me or is Merchant just way too negative lately? I mean he's always negative but it seems like he's going out of his way to be negative in every fight he announces. Yes we know it wasnt a great or exciting fight but do we need reminders every 30 seconds about how bad the fight is? And also I've noticed he was really giving it to Haye and talking about him but why was nothing said about Wladimir who outweighs his opponent by at least 30 lbs and has 3-4 inches of height on Haye? Wladimir doesn't take any risks even though he's enormously bigger then most of his opponents. All he does is Jab Jab Jab then he runs and looks like he seen a ghost when an opponent throws a punch at him. He's also a safety first fighter and I wonder why Merchant hasnt bashed him for being so cautious even though he has the huge size advantage against his opponents.

Larry has lost his marbles and his extremely disrespectful. His negativity is getting worse as he ages. HBO fights are always better without that drunk bastard.

It's time for him to reite

He has been pretty negative lately but he stills says some gems from time to time. You know Larry though nothing impresses him unless its a face first brawler

His time is over, he's fine and tolerable for avid boxing fans. But I dont want causal fans hearing him commentate.

[S.I.L.V.A]

Merchant is still the man.

No its not good for Boxing, cause he's usually only pleased with one style of boxing. When there are many enjoyable styles. All Larry is doing is brain washing causal fans into thinking just certain styles are enjoyable.

Thats one thing MMA has learned to do, they try to talk up and make you understand many styles can be enjoyable to watch, from what is perceived as exciting or boring.
