    He has been in plenty of high action fights.

    Corrales was more of a brilliant/beautiful performance than an exciting, fan-friendly fight.

    The knockdowns came from perfectly timed shots, he wasn't throwing more combos or being more offensive than in other fights (Augustus, Ndou, Gerena, Chavez, Cotto).

    He just landed perfectly on a guy with an average chin.

    The first fight was good when watching it live since it was Floyd in a pretty close fight and the action was pretty good. Doesn't have as much replay value to me since it was ugly.

    Rematch was dreadful.

    Larry jerks to Manny photos the guys the only *******ual commentator in boxing. Not that there is anything bad in this but we know he likes his men and eerm lady boys ;)

    Augustus fight was good but I feel it's overstated. Corley fight is just as entertaining to watch, in my opinion.

    Ndou was sort of like the Gatti fight in how one sided it was; if Gatti had also been throwing a bunch of punches back.

    Opening rounds of the Gerena fight are very underrated as far as entertainment and Floyds' offense-on-display goes.

    I can name 5 losses Pacquiao has, but can't name 1 for Floyd.

    Floyd is that much better than most everyone he's faced. A testament to his greatness. :deal

    Merchant is just angry because from early on he said Floyd wouldn't be a big star with his boxing style. It must irk him to be so wrong.

    Sorry Larry, nobody gives a **** what you think. Just another old ass drunk. The fact people take his comments seriously just baffles me. They must fall into the "if he's on TV, he must be smart" crowd.

    Merchant is a buffoon.

    Probably the best interview ESPN has done regarding this fight buildup.

    Larry was exceptional, and he represented boxing well.
