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
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.
I used to just find him amusing at times...Then like everyone else I found him to be annoying,,,,I can't believe I am saying this but....Jim Lampley was actualy my favorite of the two....The it happened...

Joe Calzaghe fought Peter Manfredo.....After the fight Larry interviewed Joe and Joe was talking about Quality opp and how he only fights the best...This was before Kessler and Hopkins mind you....Larry gave his outright opp in saying...

"Your trying to tell me that Peter Manfredo is the best the division has to offer?......I about died....

Then he ask who will he fight next and Joe replies "Well my promoter makes those decisions he will tell you....and invites Warren over to talk...

Frank walks over happy as shit he is about to get air time and....

LARRY TURNS HIS BACK ON HIM THEN LOOKS BACK TO HIM AGAIN AND MOTIONS WITH HIS HEAD FOR WARREN TO GO ELSEWHERE!!!!!!!!

THEN LOOKS INTO THE CAMERA AND SAYS HE WILL SPARE THE FANS OF HAVING TO LISTEN TO THAT!!!!!!

You gotta F'In love it......Obnoxious as hell but something you would do yourself if you could
