Larry's tendencies have hurt him professionally. He's paid for his crimes. Too bad for him he's such an influental pundit on delivery. If he wasn't credible somehow he wouldn't be a threat. He's a real mother****er. I'm down with Larry Merchant.
Larry tells it like it is a lot of the time, but Larry is very biased towards fighters that don't mix it up. I totally agreed with him on the Pac vs. Cotto fight, but he's stuck in his ways that everything needs to be like the old days of boxing.
Larry tells the truth when you think about it. The truth hurts and people call him a hater for keeping it real. The interview with Floyd was a perfect example. He told Floyd the truth on what most fans really thought of his performance that night. How is that hating? If you don't like it go suck on Max's nuts with his overstatements.
