    A legal cheapshot which every boxing analyst has said Floyd had every right to throw. Just like Victor had every right to block it. Too bad he forgot.

    Being old doesn't mean you get free reign to be an smartass without someone reacting to it.

    :lol::lol::lol:

    A self portrait I see... :rofl:rofl

    I know you hate me, because I love to point out the Pretty One's antics and discrepencies never have I once made fun of his skills. Skills that were winning the fight against the "mentally" challenged Ortiz.

    I really feel for you "true Mayweather fans". I really do, but only to a point. You have to wait 16 months for him to fight and he does this **** to guys. He could have showed the world his "pure" form of boxing. Hitting and not getting hit, but instead you have to scramble and defend his actions again... It' got to be tough and I understand why you feel so frustrated. hahaha :rofl

    You Floyd nut-huggers are all insane. The entire crowd was booing Floyd for that cheap suckerpunch. I actually think Floyd did the right thing, sicne Ortiz was dirty first. But you have to respect Larry Merchant for asking questions that the ENTIRE CROWD wanted to hear answered. Floyd then said to Merchant: "You ain't ****!"... is that good? Is that better than anything Merchant ever said to Floyd?

    And in Merchant's other criticisms of Floyd, he again was simply echoing what every single fan was thinking and saying. Did you watch the Mayweather-Baldomir fight? The crowd was booing the whole fight and many left the place in round 10. Merchant rightfully gave Floyd a hard time, because the fans paid to see a fight and instead Floyd was on his bike for 12 rounds, pot-shotting his way to an easy points win. This is after comparing himself to Sugar Ray Robinson. That's called false publicity, and Larry Merchant did the right thing in calling Floyd out on that.

    Hate you. I don't even know you. How's that denial working for you. This thread was just saying that Merchant deserved the ass chewing because he was acting like a smug smartass which the video clearly shows. I sure as hell didn't go out of my way to try to disrespect him. You though seem to love seeking out Mayweather threads so you can talk tons of **** about nothing to do with boxing. I've yet to read a single post from you that had anything intelligent to say about any boxing match.

    The worst **** Larry has done is what he did to Michael Katsidis after he lost to Juan Manuel Marquez. Katsidis was talking about his brother who just died and was cut off by Larry, more than once.... Disrespectful old ass man. I also hate how he gets lost in his analogies and rambles on like a meth head....

    At the theatre I was at it was packed and 80% of the audience gave Floyd a standing ovation when he dropped Ortiz. Though people were shocked that he didn't get up.:shock:

    Baldomir fight is where Floyd deserved the criticism. And I've said that in the past. But this fight was a different story. Merchant made the legal sucker punches seem far worse than the headbutts which drew blood. And he never even tried to praise Floyd for the victory and rip into Ortiz for braking the rules. And that is why I feel he deserved the ass chewing.

    It's not Merchant or any media members job to TOW the LINE. I guess everybody must love Mayweather at all times. Merchant never once called him a cheapshot artist or anything like that. Merchant gave a voice to the people that thought that the way the fight ended was cheap. That isn't an out of line question, any respectable member of the media would have asked the same exact thing, to not ask would of been negligent. The only person that go hurt was Floyd Jr., he couldn't respond. And that is why we had this disgraceful exchange, on the Pretty One's part that is... But enjoy the hollow victory... You deserve it... :happy:smoke

    I gotta agree with this one, it was despicable, and then he asks something to the effect "do you think your brother would've been proud of your performance". I was like wtf??? He just got a beating and was stopped by JMM and you ask a stupid question like that?! Katsidis was holding back the tears at that point. Merchant was pathetic for doing something like that.
