    Kid's what, 19 or 20? Does Merchant have something against Mexican fighters as well? :think
     
  2. I'm guessing he hates Oscar.

    Canelo is the Great Mexican Hope after Marquez.

    Besides, who wouldn't want to see Pac Vs. Matt Damon?

    :rofl

    Alvarez is for real, but way too young for this fight.

    Good question & I have the answer...
    (Because I watched De La Hoya Vs. Pacquiao earlier today)

    Bare with me.
    Merchant was/is the evil genius who first came up w/the idea of putting Pacquiao in the same ring w/a giant in De La Hoya. (On-Air)

    Basically he made an off the wall comment about something that at the time was so laughable & far fetched that in hindsight makes him look genius.

    He knows that Pac's reign at the top/Any fighter for that matter is relatively short.
    Larry is basically setting himself up to be Nostradamus like again by guessing a young lion could step up against an aging warrior. (Say in 3 yrs or so, If Manny is still fighting)

    If in 2012, could be like passing the torch. I want to see Khan/Canelo then too though.

    I think Jim needs to make sure Larry doesn't drink on top of his medication, it causes him to increase his ******ation 10 fold.
