    If Merchant was 50 yrs younger he would have broke the undefeated streak.

    Merchant has forgotten more about the sport of boxing than that vegetable Kellerman and his entire bloodline will ever know.

    One of his witty lines could render Kellerman dead on impact.

    Kellerman isn't fit to lace boxing royalty like Merchant's spit bucket.

    That's your opinion. My opinion is that I didn't like the way he treated boxers during interviews. I think he showed a lack of respect to guys that sometimes were technically very good boxers. Merchant just wanted to see knockouts, he never cared about the skills of boxing. I dislike him a lot.

    I personally think Merchant's rants about skilled tactical boxing hurt boxing. Part of boxing is good commentating and selling the fight.

    I respect Merchant for what he has done for the sport and it's hard not to associate his voice with boxing, but I am not a fan per se.
    He might know more about boxing than me, but a lot of people who has actually done their time in the ring understands boxing on another level and at times he has not respected this fact and made himself look foolish.
