But on the subject of times where he was out of line, I remember one fight he, Lampley and Roy Jones were commentating and they were breifly talking about football. I forget which football player they were talking about, but Roy was saying something along the lines of "(insert football player's name here) is kinda like the Roy Jones of football, you never know what he gonna do" to which Merchant replied "...he might get knocked out" and he started laughing (this was after the Tarver and Johnson bouts). It was a good zinger but it really came off as Larry kicking a legend while he was down, and I thought it was really uncalled for. I'm under the opinion that, although fans should be free to criticize anyone or anything they want, making a joke like that about someone so soon after 2 brutal knockouts was just over the line.
