Larry Merchant ready to call last fight for HBO - ESPN

Wow... Larry could be as annoying as all hell. But he's one of these characters some of us will probably miss when he's gone, if only a little bit. Damn, I can't believe he's 81 years old. I mean, he looks it... but time sure does fly. Kinda sad some of these old faces in boxing are either dying off or retiring.

Larry Merchant is a boxing legend. He's been in the game for a long time, from a writer, reporter, to announcer. He'll be missed.

As crazy and out there as he was at times he managed to entertain, also he tended to not just be a cheerleader for hbos house guy.

Everytime I see him on TV I just remember his utter disrespect for Martinez during the Macklin fight. Here's a prime example of a man who's best years were far far behind him.

Larry could be an arrogant, condescending ass at times, but when compared to other boxing analysts/announcers he's been entertaining and done a great job for HBO over the last 30+ years.
Merchant says he hasn't completely retired so we haven't seen the last of him, that's fine by me.

I suppose that's true compared to some but take someone like Al Bernstein and compare him to Larry. I always liked showtime commentators far more than HBO, Steve Farhood > Jim the crazy man Lamply

I have never liked Larry Merchant and I'm so very glad that he will be gone.
