Larry was trash. He won't be missed.

Hold on. There's something in my eye.

Merchant was trash, racist, and always starting **** with boxers his didnt like. Tito Trinidad, Mayweather, Hopkins, Jones Jr. He post fight interviews with Floyd were hilarious.

[The Smash]

World class stuff from Larry, as usual.

Remember the days when Lampley didn't tear up every episode? When Merchant would go on one of his paused filled diatribes on a fighter or promoter. When Harold Lederman wasn't a man with cataracts and senile.. ahhh I long for the good old days....

Roy Jones Jr checking Larry Merchant during the Pacquiao Morales 1 fight is classic

Your a real jackwad you know that? You might not like Merchant, but calling him a rascist shows what an ignorant tit you are.

Why don't you read up on Larry? he came from a generation of ***s that were sympathetic to the struggles of other **********, because he was discriminated against. he actually changed his name because of antisematism in boxing. ***s of his generation were trainers, the fighters before that, they went out of their way to show compassion and empathy for the plight of blacks and other **********.

it amazes me how casually people use that word never thinking twice, the same people who if you called them a f@hg would have a conniption. Grow up.

Vodka breath speaks the truth

Yes he will! Like a 🍼

he will cry. I gotta give it to him. He's passionate about the sport and he gives a damn. His call makes the fight exciting. I will miss him. I'd rather have him than Mauro and the bizarre references or boring ESPN.
