Oh please, anybody who's ever watched a boxing match, has criticized a boxer at some stage.

Your statement is essentially that ANYBODY who has NEVER laced up for a fight, should not be allowed an opinion of a boxer?

That's like saying Jose Murinho shouldn't be allowed to be a manager because he never played the game.

Utter Non-sense!
Has Larry Merchant ever boxed at any level? A quick search just came up with the expected.

Mourinho was a proffessional footballer (I think, Rio Ave etc may have been semi?) , although he obviously never played at an elite level.
Being good at something and having a brain for it don't always coincide with eachother, but experience has it's part regardless.

We watch boxing, we aren't (key word) proffessional commentator's. Not too long ago it seemed the general opinion was that Larry Merchant was a drunk and should retire, go figure.
