He forgot to say an educated award winning journalist and broadcaster vs the opinion of just another ****** hood star..

Merchant is a boxing historian. He knows his stuff. He may not know as much about Pro Wrestling as 'Money' though.
Floyd claims that it is the WWE that inspires him to make the comments he does. Often he uses that as an excuse for what is simply ******ity.
He is not a very bright man at times.
A perfect example is his refusal to engage Pacquiao in battle.
100 percent of nothing is nothing.
How is avoiding a fight with Manny 'self preservation'?
How does it enrich his family?
How does it enrich his delusion of being the 'best athlete in the world'?
The best fight the best, period.
Without Pac, he will never be regarded as the best of his generation.

Really? Wow I'm surprised that a so called "educated award winning journalist" wasn't aware that interrupting a fighter who is thanking God for his victory and bashing him is not at all classy. See how your logic fails?

Larry is the boss just got to love the dude although he does seem to have a bit of beef with floyd but hey some people will never get on and some will these two just clash that's all Floyd does deserve more respect then Larry gives him.

Merchant is there to ask tough questions, not get on his knees for another moron who wants to thank god for 5 hours, or dictate the interview. It's not Floyd's interview to conduct, he's the subject, bow down and know your role. In the ring, he's the conductor. When it's over, STFU and answer the questions posed to you. He likes to control every aspect of his little ****** world, and Merchant doesn't operate like that as you clearly saw.

It's not just about Floyd. He's an overall terrible announcer and interviewer.

He babbles on about the "crowd doing the wave" or busting out his 1920's jokes that are no longer relevant. He asks the WORST questions and he takes 2 minutes to get a sentence out. They need Kellerman up there asap.

The one quote from Larry that will always stick out in my mind for whatever reason is the Hopkins vs Pavlik fight. It went something along these lines:

"Yesterday Bernard Hopkins said that this fight would be between a two construction workers for a sandwich. Will it be a turkey sandwich, or a roast beef sandwich?"

And then he chuckles at his own joke. Still to this day, I don't understand what he was talking about, and this was a few years ago. Larry has long been sliding down the slope since then.



But seriously, what does Larry bring to boxing that either enhances our viewing experience or bring in new fans?

Yes that is strange lol
