Did you notice that Zaragoza doesn't even blink! My god he was one ugly looking fighter, no disrespect Daniel i loved you as a fighter, but i reckon you scared half your opponents out of the ring!!
Still funny, snarling old Larry makes me laugh everytime.
Floyd Mayweather defeated Carlos Baldomir for the Welterweight title over 12 sleep-inducing rds. In about rd 9, Lampley, Merchant, and Manny informed the HBO viewers that people were starting to leave the building because it was such a boring fight.
Later at the post-fight press conference, Floyd Mayweather had an emotional breakdown on the dais telling viewers through his tears that Boxing was too strenuous and that he was only going to box one more time and then he'd retire.
Lampley:
"So, Larry, Floyd Mayweather wins the welterweight championship with a flawless display of self defense, then breaks into tears at the news conference saying that he's under appreciated and vows that he's only going to fight one more time. What's goin' on?"
Merchant:
"I think he bored himself to tears, Jim."

The man is so gol-durn insensitive. Ignorant. Priceless.

''This must be a pretty good fight Jim, I've already got five dots of blood on my shirt.'' - Larry Merchant

Larry Merchant commenting on a bloated 260 lb Kirk Johnson getting KO'ed in 2 by Vitali Klitschko:
"That whale was just harpooned." - Larry Merchant
77 year old Larry Merchant's been agitating me since 1984, but I think I'm gonna miss him when he's gone.
For better-or-for-worse, he's part of the Boxing landscape.
I can't wait until he retires.
Why man? Who would you replace him with?Quote:

Larry will be missed when he retires. I disagree with him all the time, some of his commentaries pissed me off to no end with their bias. A true legend.
Larry is his own biggest fan.
Larry looks evil like he has an evil plan or something haha.;DQuote:

Anyone, honestly he is a pain in the ass, he knows nothing about boxing, and he's an arrogant prick. He's my persona on here, but in real life.Quote:

I love the title.
I WILL HAVE NO ILL SPOKEN OF LARRY!
Larry is the fu**ing bomb. Been watching him for 20 years now and he is all the comic relief I need. I love his crazy old ass.
I wish HBO would just film a weekly hour of Larry talking.
You know who else I love to hear crazy sh*t from? Old Iron Mike.
How bout they make a weekly show where Larry and Mike just say wacky sh*t to each other for an hour? It'd be epic.
honestly compared to the rest of the hbo cast larry is the best
and my favorite commentator
Can't stand the prick. His little 'hehe' laugh makes me wish someone would take advantage of the gun laws in the US. Can't stand the way he always seemed to be trying to get on ODLH's dick (even though I like Oscar) and his 'I'm more important than the fighters' post fight interviews.
has larry always been old, he must of been born looking a hundred yrs old
Arrogant, obnoxious, bias...call him what ever you want but fact is the guy is a legend as far as commentators go....without him many of HBO broadcast would have never been the same....You may not agree with him all the time and I certainly don't...
BUT....
The man calls it how he see's it...maybe not how others do but as he does.....Honest to a fault but again the man is honest...there are a ton of ass kissers in this game who say stuff just because they are trying to please someone..
Larry is not one of those men
If for nothing else you have to respect him for that
He certainly is in love with some of the guys. He misleads a lot of fans, and his half truths turn things plainly into lies. IF you want honest truth I think Max Kellerman is the best for that, he calls it like it is, and he does so without bias. He actually has attained knowledge of the sport, probably has boxed a bit. Merchant fails as a wordsmith, he fails as a knowledgable person in the sport, and he fails as a commentator.

I'd take Merchant far above Lampley.Merchant is exactly what you see.An older breed from yesteryear,a cynical crab at times,awkward when he spins into forced quippy stories,...but you'll have little doubt where he stands weather you agree or not.Lamply comes across as a pure company man towing the line and consistently calls invisible punches from the favorite while over looking the 'other' guys positives.Yells,barks and likes to hear himself recite a thesaurus at noisome.Maybe a bit harsh,but maybe my least fav blow by blow guy of all time,maybe:-X?
He is HBO boxing as far as im concerned. It would not be the same without him.I enjoy his drunken metaphors....How bout Lampley-Merchant 24/7?? ;D
LMAO!Quote:

That's Larry in a nutshell. I used to hate Larry but for some reason I started to turn. I think it was his ability to not "pull any punches" during his interviews.Quote:

I do think though he wouldn't be able to get away with some of the shit Merchant does, simply because I think Larry's age protects him from any possible aggression when takes the piss outta some boxers.Quote:
