Larry = *******

I know this is the internet and all but I can't believe people can spend so much time focused on something or someone they don't like.

well, the majority of it is trolling *****s so... take it or leave it

[STFU!!]

He was being asked about Floyd.
And what he said is true. If Floyd says he is the GOAT, then he should prove it by fighting opponents that people actually think have a chance of winning. Doing the unthinkable.
Pac has done that with Oscar, Hatton, Barrera and Cotto. He did much more than was expected from him.



lol.
What exactly did he say to make u think that?
Jones was also criticised by many people for taking easy paydays and not fighting the best competition when he had the chance.

If anything Larry was saying Floyd is an astute businessman who although doesnt have an exciting style, has become the biggest money maker in boxing.

pac has a much lower skillset than floyd so obviously when he wins its more of a surprise. whoever floyd fights he will be a huge favorite against. ony person he want be widely favorite against is pac, but he will be picked as the guy who will most likely win. Pacquiao lack of skill makes his win more amazing

**** if Floyd is picking opponents WTF is pacq doing?

Floyd had to **** talk to be an attraction, and it fits him well, while Pacquiao fought anybody to make a name for himself. Currently, they both cherry pick, but Floyd did it much longer. It's about what they did to get where they are. Much credit to DLH, though, to skyrocket both of their fanbases.

Merchant the Mexiphobic ******* doesn't call it like it is vs Pacquiao. Pacquiao is the Mexiphobe Mafia's Primo Carnera and the HBO Mexiphobic commentators are like yesteryear's racist boxing writers. Larry Merchant's grandchildren will pay for their idiot granddaddy's plotting to take money away from the poor kids of Mexican fighters. Reap what you sow, Larry. Just wait.
Little by little.

to paraphrase larry:

1) larry has fallen for the pre-fight build up... but he knows ortiz doesn't really have a chance

2) wifebeater is a cherrypicker... hence ortiz has no real chance to win

3) wifebeater is boring to watch in the ring, that's why he acts like such a douche outside of the ring

4) wifebeater's douchebaggyness is the real persona... the nice/humble wifebeater is the mask. Also wifebeater knows he can't rag on ortiz's resume otherwise he gets no credit from the critics, so therefore he rags on ortiz's personal life.

5) by delaying the fight, wifebeater lessens the pressure on him to fight pac

6) wifebeater is a coward and doesn't really want to find out who is the best between himself and pac.

7) wifebeater is all americans really have left (no more tysons or holyfields) in terms of boxing's presence in popular culture... even then wifebeater is just a D-list celebrity... but D-list is better than nothing.

To paraphrase my boy James..... Merchant should shut his fat mouth,he dont know **** about boxing.....

I could be 41-0 too if I never fought the best people in Boxing and took 3 year vacations and came back to fight 1 bum before retiring again.

There are some Mexican bums currently like 49-0

I think 49-0 > 41>0.

I would rather take a 50-2 > 41>0 where the 50-2 is fighting 2-3 times a year against ALL the top opponents.

But you dumb chickens dont understand that, maybe government should print the explanation on the back of your food stamps, like the greatest says: floyd is a chicken nyahahahhahahahha

i'm not gonna lie.. i lol'ed..
