    Right fight.... After the fight was stopped, he said "Shame on Chris Byrd, he never stopped bitching instead of protecting himself" After Byrd was knocked down, he kept complaining to the ref that it was a "slip".

            While I can say that Larry Merchant can come off as a little condescending sometimes, the man does know boxing. He's been in the game for a long time and just because he doesn't box himself, doesn't mean he doesn't know **** about it either. It's obvious he has a passion for it or else he wouldn't have stuck around as long as he has.

            I can understand Mayweather's point by thinking Larry was trying to "reign on his parade", but there had to be a classier way to go about it than that. Then again, I am talking about Mayweather, and class has never been one of his strong points......

              man i dont know. did you see byrd-ibeabuchi? the things he said were not the things someone who know boxing would ever say....I think he drank too much and now his brains mixes what he knows and what he wishes to happen in some crazy way

                  as much as i hate larry merchant, he does know boxing.
                  I agree. That was wrong of Floyd, I thought Floyd was disrespectful. I like Floyd, but I didn't think Merchant's question warented that kind of response. Merchant was just asking a question. And I agree Larry knows boxing.
