"When Larry Merchant isn't there...it's a little bit of a let down"

no you dont.

 

I've read enough of your posts to see where you stand. You might be in denial. Maybe your just a hater. Maybe you don't think your a ******* because you plan on sticking on around here after Floyd pounds his ass and you'll still follow the sport. Its no skin of my sack either way.

It would be easy to come up with a list of at least one hundred distasteful and insane comments that Larry has made over the years. I remember a few years ago I was floored when Larry repeatedly mentioned tha Kasim Ouma has killed people. It was distracting from the show and it was the wrong venue for this type of discussion. If a white kid had been abducted and forced to kill someone as a child there is no way Larry's comments would have been tolerated during the play by play of the fight.

 

You're always quick to critize Mayweather's record especially when comparing it to Pac's. I know you really feel that way and it's your opinion so there is nothing wrong with that. I just see it differently.

Floyd's been at the top for 8-10 years while Manny has only been there for a few years. I see them as fairly equal with Floyd ripping through opposition late 90's/early 2000's while Pac has done it more recently. I will confess that Pac's resume has a little more star power though.

Pac's at the stage now where Mayweather has been for much longer; a point where he can pick and choose his opposition. If Pac fights Cotto again and then retires, will you be as critical as you have been towards May when he did the same thing?

Mayweather makes all of his opponents look shot and he never gets any credit for his wins. A year ago, he crapped his pants at the thought of Mosley according to most and then when he demolishes him, Mosley is old and shot.

I just hope that Pacquiao fans are here on November 14 giving credit where credit is due.

 

if you really did read his post history you would think he is a pac hater more than floyd, he has made many pac topics which discredit him etc addie is no pac lover.

you're just butt hurt.

 

It would be impossible for me to be "butt hurt" by any of the pac nimrods I've encountered here. Its just fun to bang on you guys. I feel like I'm giving back to the community by interacting with "special people".

 

Merchant calls it like he sees it and that pisses off alot of people.

maybe sometimes he should filter a little bit more, but if he does it too much then he will simply not be Larry Merchant.

 

whoah whoah ***** im no *******, i know you love using that word but watch it before i ban your ass.:hey

 

Floyd is a mystery to me.

He deliberately creates this "heel" persona to make noise, get media attention, be the bad guy and sell tickets, but then, he wonders why fans don't like him (and then he says he doesn't care back and all he cares about is the big money he earns)

He seems like an annoying, cocky, brash individual.

But Freddie Roach actually likes the real life version of Floyd, the guy who asked permission to train in his gym, privately, for a few weeks, when FMJ stayed in the LA area.

He described Floyd as a good, respectful guy, along with his dad, Floyd Sr who Roach described as talkative but harmless and a decent guy.

It's Roger Mayweather that he cant stand.

I feel that Floyd takes advantage of his "bad guy" public persona for his business, but doesnt like it so much when it works TOO well. Like he gets hurt, personally.

 

i was the original pac hater, the reason i calmed down is because pac actually got good....

i mean back when pac was att 126 and 130 there were *******s talking about pac beating chavez etc, now when they say it it doesn't get to me as much.

 

I imagine this is how November 14 will go, for the ones that log in and aren't crying in a fetal position.

"What the **** was that? Obviously Mayweather waited until he saw weakness in Pacman and knew he could beat him. Mayweather doesn't deserve any credit, he beat a bloated dehydrated Lightweight who wasn't thinking about boxing and was just off his death bed."

Now there might be something about the Ref and judges being biased towards the American. But that is probably how it will go.

 

I dislike Larry for a large variety of reasons. He takes a little away from almost every card he calls. The only compliment I can pay him is that he is marginally better than he used to be now that HBO has forced him to sober up while on air. As for him bashing Floyd that is to be expected. He goes after anyone that doesn't whistle dixie for him.

 

you gotta give credit to the *******s for being able to recognize talent where you weren't.

 

I didn't say anything about Floyd. I just said he has his favorites.
