***The Larry Merchant Quotes Express***

Bump!

 

I say tomato, you say tom(ah)to; I say potato, you say pot(ah)to. Let's call the whole thing off. No, let's not call the fight off. Larry Merchant said this before the Vitali/Lewis match, Lampley looked very puzzled after he said it.

 

He called Marco Antonio Barrera something other than his name after the Pac-MAB II fight...What was it?

 

Roy jones: "Brewster got to start working the body more".
Merchant: " Why Roy, Wlad got a glass chin not a glass body."

This was during the first Brewster/Wlad match

 

What the **** is that supposed to even mean? LOL

 

I think he actually called him Manny.

 

Didn't he say something like "the reason Floyd is fighting Bruselless is biggest his female sparring partners were unavailable."

 

More like Merchant put Floyd in his place, but that was close enough.

 

I remember him comparing the welter & Middle weight divisions to chess pieces .. he referred to DLH as the Queen b/c he can move any way he likes and everyone wants to fight him .. Hopkins being the king .. one step at a time (he did make 20 of them) and well, the king of the division.. Wright as the castle of his shell like defence .. and the return of the Prince, Felix Trinidad. Pretty brilliant at the time.

"If ego was a crime .. the Prince would be on Deathrow"
During Naz's walk to the ring.

 

Merchant was ahead of his time.

 

that whale was just harpooned

 

'' “He's so good, you wonder what's wrong with him.”''

 

He dissed the city of Chicago with his quote at the end. Cant believe he made it out alive after those comments.

 

he was disrespectful to Brewster after the Wald fight asking him, "was it your strategy to take as much punishment as possible and then maybe he would just fall down?" ... Gotta love it tho.
