"Why is Oscar a Box Office superstar and Floyd is just a boxing star...is it because Oscar won gold and Floyd won bronze. Is it because Oscar is a handsome man and Floyd is a nice looking man" LOL LOL
Lampley: so Larry, Floyd Mayweather wins the WW championship with a flawless display of self defense, then breaks into tears at the news conference saying he's under appreciated and vows he's only going to fight one more time. What's goin' on? Larry: I think he bored himself to tears Jim
Watch older videos of him, he's brilliant but age naturally takes his toll. I remember a video I watched a few days ago which was a few years ago about the best boxers in each division in history and him explaining in a perfect matter why Ali should have been chosen over Louis in the Heavyweight Division.
I will miss Larry "The Best Thing About HBO Boxing" Merchant. Emanuel and him both gone... What incentive do I have not to mute the channel now when I watch BAD/WCB? Jim "Corporate *****" Lampley? Roy "I'm Sticking with my Pre-fight Expectations No Matter What Actually Happens in the Ring" Jones? Max "Rimjob" Kellerman?
What was the interview Merchant did a few months ago when he was interviewing the boxer that didn't speak English who had no translator? I think the fight was in China, but I can't remember which fight it was. Anyone?
I wish I was 50 years younger and Id kick your ass --Larry Merchant to Floyd Mayweather He would have too. :deal
I'm still curious on this. It was some split venue HBO card where part of the card was in the US, and someone else was over in China, and they shipped Merchant out there. Was it perhaps a Donaire when he was interviewing the loser? Someone? Anyone? :smoke
This is one of my favorite reponses by Merchant. Always had quick, witty responses and of course the infamous "If i was 50 years younger i'd kick your ass!"
II Duce I was able to scroll back through the pages and some of the quotes literally had me rolling, thx.
