Larry Merchant was always high quality. He never compared to Al bernstiens straight forward critical scoring, unbias analyst approach. But I think he brought a lot of that Vegas appeal, fight business mentality to the presentation. He had a great understanding of the game, inside knowledhe and insight into mentality of the fighters, fairly good understanding of the sport of boxing. he had a very good journalistic aesthetic when presenting important moments to the masses. His best work was alongside Letterman and Steward IMO. The best team to present a great era of boxing.
