    And "Kaufman" stems from the German word "Kaufmann" which basically translates to "Merchant"

    He was an alright commentator. His scores on fights were always insane to me though.

    I didn't like him though. So boring. I don't know how he got that job

    It’s no coincidence the downfall/decline of HBO Boxing coincided with Merchant being replaced by Kellerman who was nothing but an entitled fanboy nuthugger who knows very little about actual Boxing. Spitting out a bunch of historical facts that most hardcore boxing fans already know doesn’t make you an ‘expert’. Kellerman was the beginning of the end. I miss HBO Boxing and hope they bring it back one day without that idiot Kellerman.

    Funfact is that Larry is in the most iconic boxing picture of all time.

    Merchant would've been ktfo if he was 27 and prime against Floyd. He was just talking **** being an ass as usual.

    He was a good guy. Forthright, old school. It was only dull fighters like Hopkins and Mayweather that had a problem with him because he had the balls to call them out.
