    This ageing oaf riles me more than any interviewer in boxing, with his laboured, pointless questions of fighters, seconds after the end of the bout.

    If the old dolt pushed his microphone under my nose I'd probably fill him in rhere and then.

    **** off Merchant, you're not welcome in the boxing world by either fan nor fighter. Twat.

    I actually like Larry Marchant. He asks the questions that should be asked. He is brutally honest, although sometimes, he can be a bit insensitive. One thing I didn't like is when he said after Vernon Forrest got KO'd by Mayorga, "let's see Forrest come into the ring rapping the nest time!" I though that comment was unnecessary and condescending, but most of the time, I don't mind his snide comments. Another thing I must add - what was the point of the "Shane Mosley, I love you!" statement?

    I like Larry Merchant and Jim Grey............. Both get in a fighters face and call it the way they see it without worrying about hurting some poor *******s feelings........ Screw political correctness.......... Sometimes you gotta call a spade a spade.......

    I hate the new breed of announcers who are on a ball and chain basis from the network being directed and instructed as to what to say and what not to say...... A buncha' phony baloney melon-farmers..........

    Somebody dig up Don Dunphy and Howard Cosell........
