Larry Merchant Quotes

[Piggu]

"Despite the reality of what goes on inside the ring, the business of boxing is based on illusion. And if you want an example, I'll give you an example. The last big fight that Mike Tyson won was against Michael Spinks fifteen years ago."

[oliverlt]

On Zab vs Floyd

"20 ca**** worth of diamonds unfortunately located in a setting of glass"

and
"flawless versus jawless.”

[Mech.]

[Hitman Homer]

“He had long ago established he wasn't just another pretty face, he's actually an ugly SOB. Looks like Sasquatch and Danny Devito mated."

"That shot to the body will undoubtly turn Robinson's sphincter into a bloody diarrhea blasting canon for a week or two after this fight is over."

"Black on black violence. Feel my intense erection, Jim. Better then Viagra anyday."

"Does anyone smell wet ass? Oh, that's just the Mexicans in the ring."

“I think it all depends on how good this fight is. I don't know how to rank it. If this turns out to be a dramatic fight and Roy wins, people will look back at all three (in a fond way). But he has to win in a theatrical way. That would make it a great trilogy, maybe. Then maybe Tarver can go back to selling crack. Something he's good at.”

Roy Jones doesnt box out of a text book but maybe he will write his own someday.

One of my faves (I'm paraphrasing) was in the post-fight for Tyson-Douglas.

Reffering to a Japanese parable or something (the fight was in Japan, remember): "This is like the frog being fed to the snake."

Then after the fight, he said something like, "Apparently that frog was poisonous."
