    Larry is as sharp as a knife compared to a lot of eighty year olds. Larry rules.

    Mayweather maybe a ****, but Merchant is a bit of a dick aswell, always hating on Floyd.

    You clearly need to listen more closely to Merchant, he's very fair on Floyd. he calls his an outstanding fighter, but he also thinks he lacks class and sucks the life out of fights by playing it safe.

    How is that hating? It's accurate.

    Nope, you can hear in his voice over the last few years how much he hates Floyd, can't remember him congratulating May.

    Junior's antics are just about turning everyone against him, the guy is a complete arsehole who happens to be an excellent boxer.

    Listen to the interview on the very first post of this thread: “He’s an outstanding fighter.”

    Even during the fight he was giving Floyd lots of credit for how he was handling Ortiz and frustrating him. It was Floyd that over-reacted to a totally legitimate line of questioning and, as Larry pointed out, it was a good way of getting away from the issue over fighting Manny.

    You really need to rewatch the interview without the pro-Floyd glasses on.
