    Larry Merchant truly loves this sport. Jim Gray loves the paycheck.

    It's a hit or miss when it comes to Merchant.. Sometimes he's cool and funny as hell but then there are times when i feel like punching his lights out.. He's old and doesn't know how to hide his feelings which makes him unprofessional at times.

    Gray is an ******* most of the times. It's a matter of time before a wild man like Mayorga comes along and breaks his nose.. I remember when he got punked by James Toney after the Holyfield fight.. lol. He said something stupid and Toney knocked the mic out of his hand and the look on his face was classic.

    I personally like Merchant alot, he tells like it is and if a fight sucks ass, he's going give his opinion. Kellerman is gay, and instead of commentating he should be filling Larry's shot glass between rounds.

    Jim Gray is a joke, I cant remember how many times he looked like a straight up ***** in the ring. I know some people remember how he gets when he's nervous, he starts get those scared eyes like he's about to have panic attack. If anyone wants to see Gray look like a puss, watch him after the Tyson/Neilson fight, he was getting pushed from the back and it looked like he wanted to cry.

    I like Larry Merchant. When Vitali knocked out Teddy Atlas' fighter Kirk Johnson in the second round at MSG, he said that Vitali harpooned the whale.

    Are you kidding me? Larry Merchant is a legend in boxing. Jim Grey is a walking caricature of what's wrong in sports coverage nowadays.

    The question shouldn't even have been posed.

    Appreciate Larry while you still can.

    For all his drinks and sometimes direct views, Larry's a perfect fit for boxing. If you're the politically correct jerk and gets bothered by the type of commentary Merchant gives, go find a neutered sport because it is what it is and boxing is a fistfight, and Merchant is first and foremost a fan, so there would be times he'll be the biased guy that he sometimes is.

    Tszyu told him he was rude. Grey was rude to many fighters.

    Jim Gray is an arsehole of the highest order.

    Disresectful, just an ugly human being.

    At least Larry calls it as he see's it and has put his money where his mouth has been since the day he invested in a Philly HW by the name of Joe Frazier.

    I do not like Gray, He is too negative and tries to get reaction from guys. Gray is terrible. Merchant is better.

    Merchant is in the HOF while Gray is a nobody.
