    List your favorite Larry Merchant quotes here, and if you can, list the corresponding fight.

    I'll start....

    After Vernon Forrest scored a shocking upset victory over Sugar Shane Mosley, Forrest declared "I just beat the Michael Jordan of boxing!"

    "Just because you BEAT Michael Jordan doesn't mean you BECOME Michael Jordan."--Larry Merchant

    He compared Roy Jones Jr. to a "virtuoso jazz artist" one time. It was a weird quote. :huh

    I may not have this one exact, but when Wlad fought McCline:

    "Jameel McCline acts as if attacking Wladimir Klitschko is akin to attacking Russia during winter"--Larry Merchant

    :rofl

    Was Merchant the one who actually gave Mayorga the cigarette after that bout?
