    Thoughts?

    SSM is one of the true warriors of the sport...

    Merchant/HBO should have highlighted and mentioned SSM's contributions to the sport...Instead he gets the "Why are you still hanging around treatment?"

    Merchant is telling it like it is so maybe Shane can get it through his THICK, DELUSIONAL SKULL that it is time to hang em' up.

    Was getting the frustration out before talking to Mayweather.

    That's my guess anyway.

    Maybe Merchant should take his own damned advice.

    Merchant keeps it real. Merchant a G. If Floyd could have it his way he'd have a 2 hour long interview with him talking about how great he is repeating the same **** over and over like a broken record...

    Merchant ain't the one fighting. I ain't talking about broadcasting skills. MOSLEY NEEDS TO ****ING GO.

    What Merchant said was true Shane should NOT be fighting anymore period, he just got dominated and beat down by a fighter he would've destroyed in heyday.

    You are full of BS.

    Like I said before...in another post..

    Larry Merchant has been disrespecting fighters after fights for years..
    He isnt going to stop. Its ridiculous. Fighters need to boycott doing Larry Merchant interviews period.

    Larry Merchant is disconnected and needs to be removed from boxing interviews post fights.

    Larry Merchant is just a pure critic of fighters in this sport. I think it would be better for HBO to cease him for doing post fight interviews, he can be irritating and event spoiler sometimes.

    Larry tells it how it is. Why should he sing their praises just because that's what they want to hear? I respect him for sticking to his guns and asking the tough questions the fans want to hear (until it's against their lifestyle icon lil floyd).

    I would love to see a fighter troll Larry once and tell him he should retire and has seen better days, no man should tell another man to stop making money, despite the agenda HBO were trying to pull by hyping Canelo he's a one dimensional fighter, that breathed life into a shot fighter that was dominated by Sergio Mora


    I happy Shane redeemed himself
