VIDEO: Merchant Admits He Dislikes Mayweather and "Boxers"

[deejd]

But, one can say that he was already flustered after everything that happen with Floyd. He wasn't probably even thinking about the interview or what question to ask.

When in doubt... answer with a hypothetical.

Glad you could comprehend. Thanks for going out of your way and spending your quality time to provide your contribution of hate to a pro-Mayweather thread, though. It's a great look for you, as usual. Now, what other black, technical boxers can you name that Larry Merchant is a fan of, boxing historian?

Yes I hate Floyd, I refuse to give man any credit whatsoever. And, what?

Black? Ohhh....Larry is racist...OK.

LOL @ "boxing historian" talking about when in doubt

I get what the video is trying to say, but its overall pretty ******. Larry doesn't have to like Floyd, or any boxer for that matter. Larry just has to be Larry, and he'll go down as one of the best commentators ever. I'm a Mayweather fan and a Merchant fan, and I'll let them fight their own wars.

The best commentator, analyst and everything combined in one person is Bob Sheridan, the "Colonel".

But why is it, that when former/fellow HOF boxers/trainers commentators are calling Mayweather fights, they respect what Mayweather is doing in the ring whereas commentators are have no experience participating within the actual sport itself, will critique with a fans eye?

As a commentator, that's not your job.

Never stated he was racist. You were the one that mentioned Whitaker, though. So, have you compiled that list yet?

**** joe rogan.

look, even MMA fans don't like defensive fighters...

boxing is a sport and sport exists to entertain. now, fights where a lot of punches are thrown are exciting. fights were a lot of punches are not thrown are boring.

The epitome of boxing skills isn't to never get hit by your opponent. If you have the stamina and you get on your bike, you can do that indefinitely. The epitome of skill is to impose yourself on your opponent and that imposition is reflected on your ability to physically dismantle your opponent, preferably by KO.

Now, you can psychologically dismantle your opponent, by making them revisit a situation which they lost or feel hopeless or have fear. for example when cotto hit marg with his best shot and marg just kept coming. but marg's psychological dismantling of cotto ain't ***** unless it translates into a physical dismantling, aka cotto getting beaten and bloodied and eventually quitting.

You can dismantle you opponent mentally, by just outthinking them, setting traps, setting up your punches, counterpunching, not giving them anything to hit, etc... but that ain't ***** unless you also are physically dismantling them.

Your boxing skills ain't ***** unless you are beating up your opponent. if at the end of the fight, both boxers look fresh as ****in daisies, it means neither guy was able to impose himself on the other physically, and therefore it wasn't really a fight you saw but some bizarre sort of dancing.

BOTTOMLINE: IF YOUR SKILLS AREN'T TRANSLATING TO YOU BEATING THE **** OUT OF OPPONENT, YOUR SKILLS ARE WORTHLESS.

ur post was absolutely worthless

[Pocket Dogs!]

Max, Merchant, Jim Grey. No matter who you put to interview Floyd, he's just going to be antagonistic. Floyd can't just say "Put someone like Roy Jones or Lennox in there to interview me," because they're great as analysts but to ask critical questions is different. Shit, you put Lampley in there to ask Floyd questions and he's going to be antagonistic.

Floyd's so used to being in control that when someone comes along and stops that, he lashes out.

Bernard Hopkins and Merchant used to have beef but Hopkins even had to admit that some of Merchant's criticisms were warranted.

I remember those Mr. Opal videos. He would delete all of my youtube comments because they made sense.

bump..... Still waiting for the list.
