I know a lot of people doesn't like larry merchant but i think we need him because when he says something about an old school fighter, you can actually say its like he knew him more than any other commentator. Max would try to say something about a fighter in the 70s 80s but doesn't bring in that same ora when Larry tells it because we all know larry has seen a lot of live fights and met most of the fighters he talks about. Max to me is full of shit. Larry may be an old fart but i respect him more cause his been there. I think we need to keep Larry as long as we can and have Max kick rocks cause he makes hbo feel like showtime, boring commentating.
