I was a big fan of Larry. He was always entertaining IMO. Of course sometimes he would wax a little too philosophical, and by the time he left HBO (and a few years prior) you could tell he wasn't nearly as sharp as he used to be.

Re: Larry Merchant was a Great Commentator
Merchant was used way past his best but for nostalgic reasons he was kept on since he was sitting in the crowd when Ali beat Liston the second time they fought.

Larry is the worst in my opinion.
I like jim lampley for his emotion, Pauline for being Pauline and Barry Mcguigan for being right in every situation.
