As a Brit I never knew who Larry Merchant was until i joined this forum. Over the years, thanks to youtube and whatnot, i've watched dozens and dozens of fights he's commentated on and have no idea why he's so hated (flomos aside). He's terrific. Love the way he argues/disagrees with his collegues and comes out with some cracking lines made all the better by his slow as molasses voice.
Merchant/Foreman doing Naz-Kelly, Naz-Sanchez and Lewis-Grant are absolute gold.

I like Buncey, yeah he is annoying as fuck and he screams and shouts and chats absolute shite but you can't knock his enthusiasm.
Did you know that BoxNation don't intentionally cut the ring walks, they only show the footage that is given to them and a lot of the times that doesn't include the ringwalk, there is no point in tweeting BoxNation about it because they can't do anything about it and 99% of the time they are rubbish anyway...or so Buncey has told me every single time I've watched an international fight on BN.
Plus he always seems grateful when I stay up until 6am to watch a fight.

Mauro Ranello. He starts wit hysteria, moves quickly to bedlam and then ends up with chaos and insanity. Guy is awful.
Max is also bad with his bug eyes.![]()

From ex-current fighters to regular announce people. Jim Lampley and his invisible punches. Recently it's Mauro "please take a folding chair to me" Ranallo. The guy is tone deaf and makes direct plugs for his wrestling show. He also talks over Paulie who knows of what he speaks. Gus Johnson had a run and my ears bled. Someone had the brilliant idea of using Ed Lover on the mic for HBO. That was painful. Dan Dierdorf and Alex Wallue back on Wide world of sports. Barry McGuigan and Ray Mancini were not so hot. And small mention to our beloved Teddy Atlas. There was a specific time that didn't last long but Teddy was obviously going through 'coaching' or something. He was calling fights nothing like he does now. It was over the top and he would over pronounce and end every single sentence with some elevated sentences. It was like stuffing him in a suit and reading from flash cards. Just very odd and phony.

Mr. Larry Merchant is an award winning boxing commentator and author.... Here's a couple of Larry Merchant quotes off the top of my head Boxing is the Theater of the unknown or the quote from that pic in TitoFan's post where FMJ told Merchant "you don't know shit about boxing" and Merchant responded w/ I wish I was 50 years younger I'd kick your ass....![]()
