Larry Merchant vs Bernard Hopkins: The War

What fight was that?

 

I think HEADBANGER is going to have a field day.

 

Morrade Hakkar I think.

 

Hopkins won that war
Why does Merchant always have to disrespect fighters like that after the fight? Hes an idiot, I dislike him.

 

What fight was that?

Hopkins - Hakkar

 

Larry Merchant is just a drunken, blind as a bat, PRIVILEGED commentator who'd be working as a Rent-A-Cop security guard if he was anything other than white.

People purchased tickets and tuned their TVs on the fight to see Hopkins and could have given a **** about Larry The Lush.

 

Well...the fight was a joke. Also keep in mind that this was during that void in Hopkins' career between Trinidad and Oscar where Hopkins turned down every big fight because of money.

 

LARRY JUST SAYS IT HOW IT IS. HE IS BASICALLY THE FANS VOICE KINdA LIKE WHAT KELLERMAN IS BECOMING NOW.L THEY ASK THE QUESTIONS WE "THE FANS" WANT ANSWEREd.

 

I fixed it for ya. :yep:good

 

i see where youre coming from
But theres a difference between asking questions in a normal humane manner, and asking confrontal rhetorical questions.

Hopkins kept cool Imo, i know if he had asked me that question i probably would have slapped him

That's Bernard's story. Yet, the world of boxing moved on and other people made big fights. I love Bernard, but he was acting like a prime donna. It worked out for him in the end so I'm sure he has no regrets, but it sucked if you were paying attention to his career back then.

 

wELL i dON'T blame larry cuz BernarD neeDeD a wake up call he thought he was somehow this ppv Monster just cuz he beat TriniDaD anD calling out other smaller when who's original weight was even lower than jr. miDDleweight was kinDa saD. Nothing to base greatness on.
