DO people who enjoy Larry Merchant like him because....

i like merchant. i will admit he has with old age developed a very slow delivery and some of his jokes can be painful and he knows boxing and when he doesnt have an opinion in the way he is fine

excluding the recent interview he usually asks the tough questions

 

They are disingenuous douche bags. Just like Larry!

 

I reckon he's funny not boring at all like others.

 

What tough questions was he asking Ortiz? He was lobbing him softballs and making excuses for him.

 

Think Larry's not afraid to say, "boxing looks bad," Kirk

Larry Merchant simply calls it as it is, period.

People mention how he has blasted Bernard Hopkins in the past. He has, but it was appropriately done at the time and done for the right reasons. Nobody seems to recall the Hopkins-Trinidad fight when Larry clearly became fed up with George Foreman for not giving Hopkins credit for his masterful performance that night. Larry was the first one to point out what was unfolding, and he expressed a good amount of disgust towards big George for making excuses for Trinidad and overlooking Hopkins' brilliance all night long.

 

Right on David.

Larry is a reporter, reporting on the incidents of the night.

To pretend that there was no inference that Floyd's action smacked of a little cheapness kind of ignores how it seemed half the arena was booing Floyd as soon as the interview started - Larry clearly phrased the question "What do you say to those people who might say it was a cheap shot?"

Floyd has been doing this for 15 years as a pro - Surely by now a little Q&A session is the least of his concerns - I guess when you're surrounded by a team that are all blue in the face from sucking his balls the whole time - As soon as someone asks a question its a racist or lack of a fair shake?

Compare Larry to Jim Grey - it's night and day in the difference in the way they interview post fight.

 

Merchant is the truth!

 

Larry Merchant is a POS who has disrespect the greatest fighters of this era like PBF, Hopkins, and RJJ time and time again. Enough is enough both Hopkins and PBF have complained about Merchant not giving them their due. It was only a matter of time before one of them went off.
