    Yeah that was great!!!! He was right though it was a cowardly punk move to cold **** Ortiz the way he did.He certainly shut Floyds big mouth LOLI just wonder what Cortez would have done if the scenario was Ortiz cold cocking Floyd. As it was he looked panic stricken

    Ortiz would have been disqualified. Only cash cows get to win by cheating.

    ROFL !! Floyd aint man enough to stomp anybody he 's a sneaky cowardly punk. Man I'd have loved to see him have to face Antonio Margarito instead of "retiring" to avoid him then slithering back when the railroading had ruined Tony's career. Some heroes you guys idolize lol

    . BOTH Floyd & Cortez were at fault there& should have been DQ'd. Yes Ortiz head butted Floyd & was rightfully docked a point but only after Floyd repeatedly fouled him

    I had been calling him Drunk Larry since 1995.

    Larry was brutally honest but also had a mean spirit towards some guys for no reason.:nonono

    I forget who had lost a fight and the boxer brother had passed days before the fight.
    Damn Larry ask the boxer if his brother was watching from heaven what would he think about the loss:dunno:risas3:

    We used to joke that he would unscrew his microphone and there was Jack Daniels in there

    Who was BHop's opponent when all Larry said during commentary what a farce this match up was?

    This right here. George Foreman was a HORRIBLE announcer and said so many stupid things people found humor in it UNTIL he kept doing it over and over.
    Max Kellerman wasn't even close to being in Larry's league and it showed big time.

    He definitely had a lot of memorable moments. Love him or hate him he wasn’t afraid to speak his mind. Or push another person

    Bull crap, Ortiz had his head repeatedly in Floyd's face from early in the fight, and I don't remember Floyd fouling at all - what were all these numerous fouls?

    And good on Mayweather for clocking him, he deserved it!
