i wouldnt mind seeing a couple of young enthusiastic guys who love the sprort replace Merchant and Lampley. their love for the sport seems to have faded away. they have nothing positive to say about any young hungry fighter.

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?

He said balogna sandwich, not turkey. Made sense, actually one of his better quotes.

you know what it is about Larry? he's lost hope and everytime he gets his moment and the camera zooms in on his face, his words are the words of a non believer.

Anyhow, **** Larry Merchant. His bias and negativity is tired and ridiculous. Imagine an NFL announcer calling a great game between the top two defenses, telling you how boring and horrible it was for 3 hours. No thanks.
