	Larry's Marbles.. - The Cyber Boxing Zone Message Board (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		I'm a huge Larry Merchant fan and think what he has added to HBO telecast over the years is truly going to be missed when he's gone.
		Larry Merchant has been around forever and anyone who has punched that workman’s time clock for as long as he has deserves respect and can be allowed that certain crankiness to emerge at inopportune moments.
		Larry was swaying like a seaman on a ship at high sea, and had to hold the ring apron to remain upright.

	Expect Portland Punch from Larry Merchant
		Larry Merchant is one of those commentators who will call a boring fight a piece of crap irrespective of the fact that this may cause some to grab the flicker and tune to Martha Stewart where anal superficiality is in vogue.
		In a Larry Merchant cost-benefit analysis the benefit greatly outweighs the cost, and this weekend the potential benefit will reach yet again another one of those rare critical points where Larry can maximize his influence upon the sport he loves.
		With two mismatches at hand I find it hard to believe that Larry Merchant is not seething with disgust this week in preparation and will let it hit the fan in his commentary both during the fight and in the post fight interview with the ambitiously shallow undisputed champion.

	Boxing News : Merchant Reflects on Hall of Fame Career
		Merchant in fact is the antithesis of most commentators these days.
		He truly is one-of-a-kind and in the days of shock jocks that cater to younger demographics, Merchant is a word-smith whose statements are lasting and deep.
		In his tenure sitting ringside at some of the games biggest events, Merchant has seen the recent history of boxing unfold in front of his eyes and some of the game's all-time best, who will soon be joining him in the Hall of Fame, ply their craft.

		Merchant approached Lennox Lewis in a very confrontational mode, acting more like a disgruntled patron than the professional he is getting well paid to be.
		Larry is losing his objectivity and I fail to understand why HBO is not addressing this problem.
		Merchant and Lewis engaged in a tug of war over the microphone which provided much needed comic relief for yours truly.

	Grading the Boxing TV Personalities
		I have no idea if there is any truth to the rumor that Larry is often drunk out of his mind during broadcasts, but sometimes it seems like he is. At the end of night, Larry always gets a few minutes to share his thoughts about the fights.
		When Larry does the post fight interviews he is not afraid to ask the tough questions and never backs down.
		Unlike Larry Merchant who asks tough questions, but always holds a level of respect towards the participants, Gray will try to bicker with and belittle boxers creating awkward moments and interviews that are painful to watch.

	Merchant Books - Signed, used, new, out-of-print
		In this pithy and hilarious book, Karl Pilkington is in conversation with (the often bewildered) Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the writers and stars of "The Office" and "Extras," unwittingly outwitting even those comedy Goliaths as he struggles in vain to make sense of the world around him.
		Merchant provides a context-setting overview of American environmental history from the beginning of the millennium; an encyclopedia of important concepts, people, agencies, and laws; a chronology of major events; and an extensive bibliography including films, videos, CD-ROMs, and websites.
		For while Merchant recounts the problems - both hilarious and daunting - in trying to shoot a movie in the crowded tourist mecca of Florence, his most passionate prose is reserved for those moments - and there were many of them - when he...

	Wilbur's Boxing Notes
		I remember thinking that Larry Merchant was being biased towards Pacquiao during the telecast, especially after 6 rounds when he said that he had the fight just about even when Morales was obviously carrying the fight at that point.
		Also, during the post fight interview Larry Merchant let Manny have the microphone for a few minutes to give out all of his thank you's.
		When Larry Merchant mentioned Barrera after the fight, Erik rolled his eyes and had a look of disgust on his face.

		Larry tells it like it is. Sometimes he's a little off but a lot of times he'll say stuff that a lot of people want to say but won't say it.
		So Larry says a lot of things that people want to say, that they have in their mind, but they just won't say it.
		But what surprised me the most about working with Larry Merchant was I did not know what a student of the game he is. I didn't know he studies fight films around the clock.

	Boxing's Hardest Hitters
		But the thing I am sure about is, there's a thin line between boxing and wrestling and no one holds that line better than Larry Merchant; it doesn't matter about glitter, pomp, or buy rate.
		So to fans around the world, sit back and enjoy HBO with Larry Merchant and you'll get the best.
		As long as we have Jim Lampley around waiting, without a script, history will be recorded; and the moments captured so that the future can truly see it was more than the eye could see.

	Shawn Neuman: Three's a Crowd : Boxing News
		Before Jim Lampley came along, Barry Tompkins headed up the team as blow-by-blow announcer, Larry Merchant was the color analyst as always, and a string of former fighters and trainers have been cast in the role of "third man at the table," from Ray Leonard to Gil Clancy, Roy Jones, JR.
		Jim Lampley and Larry Merchant are perfectly capable of carrying the load on their own, and if they are truthful they would probably prefer to do so, but it is unlikely that HBO will allow this to happen.
		This is the equivalent of what you have when you put a fighter at the table to call a fight…an untrained, nonprofessional attempting to do the job of a professional.
