I heard one the other day.

They show the slow-motion replay of Trinidad landing a left hook, left uppercut combination that was absolutely beautiful and had Thiam staggering around the ring. It really was a beautiful combination and executed about as well as you could have hoped. Well, they played it, and Larry chimes in...".....What god had in mind there was a fighter". Loved it.

 

"Moorer having a glass jaw is an insult to glass" - HBO Commentator Larry Merchant

 

Is it too much of a good thing. or is too much of a good thing, a good thing? Whatever it is, let the thing, begin.

I shake my head everytime I hear Merchant say that (prior to JMM-Pacquiao IV)

 

Jim Watt's "Bang on the chin!"

 

"Stop it frank stop it. You don't have to let this go on" Jim lampley

Gatti-Ward famous round 9. Still get goose bumps when I watch this

 

Anytime when Steward got excited... like Gatti - Ward.
The man just had so much love for boxing, and so much respect for the fighters even if he had no stake in them whatsoever.

 

"When the nature of the sport is to render your opponent unconscious, there's no such thing as a lucky punch." - Joe Tessitore

 

He's got him reeling from a couple of those shots, Len! - Joe Goosen referring to Foreman landing on Holyfield during the Battle of the Ages

"It's rounds like that where I think I'd rather be watching tires being rotated." - Larry Merchant during the Ruiz-Golota fight. LOL!
