Best video clip f***king EVER!!! Ole Man Merchant threw that clown away. Merchant takes a lot of heat but I really like the guy. I think he just tells it like it is. For those who thinks he is negative all the time, I don't see that. When a fight isn't living up to what it should or what we think it should be, he lets it be known how he feels.

The Boxer is it Zaragosa looks about 78 older than Merchant

Sure, it seems negative to have Larry Merchant ask certain questions but I would be tempted to ask the same if a boxer as cocky as Lewis, Mayweather, etc. Was talking about being the biggest thing out there when their fight didn't quite show that.
I'll put it this way. Imagine all of you were intervieweing, say, ODLH right after the Forbes fight and he said "Oh yeah, I just came to show my greatness" wouldn't you all be tempted to say something else when you got the mic back? That is what Larry Merchant does.

Lewis was always confident, but never arrogant or cocky.

He claimed he was the best and reinforced his theory well.
