Better interviewer: Merchant or Kellerman?

I've never been a fan of Merchant the commentator. But I gotta admit, I'd rather see him behind the mike asking questions after a fight, than Kellerman. Last night was a good example. Especially when Mosley said he was a little tight after his great 2nd round, and Merchant countered something to the effect of: C'mon Shane, you've been a pro for a long time... whadda you mean you were tight? He made Mosley explain himself. And when exhausted all the possible questions to Mayweather about the fight, he went on to the topic of Pacquaio. In short, I find myself saying to myself when Merchant is interviewing: Hey! I would've asked that same question. Which is the mark of a good interviewer. Kellerman, on the other hand, seems bent mostly on being the spectacle, rather than the interviewer. I hope he develops a better style, 'cause Merchant will retire sooner or later, and we'll be left with Kellerman.

I FUCKING HATE KELLERMAN because he's a pretentious cocksucker...

I dislike both.

Merchant was abit of a cock last night also.

Merchant by far. Kellerman is one of the most annoying interviewers ever.

Merchant is getting older, but he's still is a great interviewer. He's funny and did a great job last night.

Kellerman interviewed Mayweather after beating Marquez, and he did a terrible job.

Merchant had a much better interview last night, and notice that Floyd didn't get angered like by Kellerman after beating Marquez.

It was a good interview and Merchant have his congratulations to Mayweather, then asked some good questions.

I couldn't agree more! Not only is he a pretentious cocksucker whose daddy bought him his career, but he's also a sarcastic little bastard and a know it all.

I love Merchant's closing arguments: it's like having a jewish Hemingway at ringside after a couple of strong, Bombay martinis and a hit of LSD. Sometimes it doesn't work out all that great, but when it does, there is magic there, gentlemen...absolute MAGIC. I love Merchant - even if he's completely insane.

Kellerman is annoying at times but I like his energy and he makes good points alot of the time. As for Larry, he's classic

Love Merchant, he handled the interview well with Floyd, but I felt he was disrespectful to Shane last night.

I hate Kellerman with his bug eyes. He just annoys the shit out of me. I did love when he was yelling for Lampley after the Mayweather/Mosley debacle

The way Merchant said to Shane "You have been fighting for 18yrs why do you get tight" doesnt sound that bad but the tone of voice he said it in was like he had his house riding on Shane to win. I think he talked badly to Shane last night and if I was talked to like that I would just tell him to get fucked and not to bother interviewing me again.

I voted Kellerman


It's offical. I no longer enjoy Larry Merchant.
