      I don't 100% agree with PBF but that statement has some substance.

        No, Floyd is wrong in this regard. Merchant will forget more about boxing than we will ever know. His years of being around the sport gives him insight that we are not fortunate to gain.

          I don't really agree with him about non-boxing people shouldn't be commentators, be cause a lot of former boxers are morons, and wouldn't do well with being commentators. You need those guys that do follow the sport but can be good announcers as well.

          I do agree with him that Larry Merchant is an old fool though. The guy didn't do anything wrong about asking about Mayweather knocking Oritz out, what he did wrong was that he made it seem like Floyd was the only one at fault, when it wasn't even him that started the bulls**t, it was Ortiz. And that's what got lost in that post fight interview, oh well. People will remember that interview for years.
          He's not an Uncle Tom at all. All he does is stick up for black rights. Thats the reason why he inteviewer Floyd. His brother is serving life for Murder which Dyson (the interviewer) blames on the system. I have a book that he wrote about Tupac. He's well respected & highly educated so the TS knows nothing about what he's talking about. For the record, I dont agree with Floyd or any athelete when they say those things

            This is just Floyd's way of saying "I want commentators who'll suck my dick."

              what about floyd being a fighter, the son and nephew of a world class fighter and a world champion, and his being in an around the sport for his whole life. Just becuase Merchant is old and white doesn't mean he can forget more than one of the best fighters ever knows.
              That **** is crazy.

                  I know. I just said it to stir the pot a little. Poor choice on my part. Dyson is well educated and well spoken.

                      We need more commentators who are actually boxers or trainers. Why not have two commentators with boxing experience instead of that 2 inexperienced and 1 experienced setup they have
