My issues with him don't go any further than what he contributed to HBO's broadcast of boxing, but somehow I think the telecast will be a little more enjoyable moving forward.

This would explain why fighters like Floyd Mayweather Jr. had run-ins with Merchant. Afterwards Tyson will say accurately to Merchant: “Larry it was sheer luck and I mean it.

I respect the time Larry Merchant has spent in the sport I love, but I have often found myself irritated by his comments, and wondering why he was still in his seat as an analyst. More than likely, you go home feeling cheated afterward, like the mark at the midway who paid his nickel to see a unicorn skeleton and ended up seeing horse bones with a narwhal tusk glued to the head. i MISS THOSE DAYS!! I truly do wish Merchant well in whatever he chooses to do from here. Mike and Roy are risking it all, and it’s not just unnecessary; it’s ill-advised. Or maybe it’s more like going to see a reunion performance of a group you once liked, some musicians who once filled stadiums now performing to half-filled fairgrounds.

Mankind has been posing a paradoxical question to itself since as early as the Third Century A.D: What happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force? He’ll land some eye-catchers that get the crowd into it, but Roy will survive the early onslaught by tying up, and not just by tying up, but by leaning on Mike in the clinches so that Tyson’s age-induced stamina issues tell him on him even faster. While some may not like Tyson … During the Adrien Broner-Antonio DeMarco bout on November 17, Merchant took issue with the fighters wearing pink gloves. I can tell you 2 things about Dick that most people don’t know !Number 1, He played his HS ball at Crane Tech. I thought they were amazing and these two routines prove it. !O’yea, he has been married to his HS girl friend now for over 50 years. The difference, of course, is that the old band is not risking their lives for your amusement or their paycheck or their pride or whatever the case may be. That’s a real tough guy fellas !! Sure, greybeard commentator, Larry Merchant is correct when he says that boxing is the red light district of the sports world, but they don’t call that vice the oldest profession for nothing. Also worth remembering is that the brain doesn’t work alone but in tandem with a bunch of other organs and body parts. My thoughts on Roy Jones Jr. vs. Mike Tyson, KSI says he’d beat Mike Tyson because of his age, Mike Tyson interested in facing Anthony Joshua in charity match, Roy Jones Jr showing off mind-numbing hand speed, Amir Khan says Terence Crawford can beat Floyd Mayweather. Don King, the promoter of Mike Tyson, and Seth Abraham of Home Box Office will not say why their $85 million multifight deal for Tyson ultimately came unglued, but Larry Merchant… To see the full size images, you need to enable javascript in your browser.

The Murmanschanns, what a duo, I remember them from this show, the Muppets, Sesame Street and other shows. Or maybe you see a cynical shell of some once-great crooner up there in front of the bandstand, going through the motions and hoping it doesn’t rain at the outdoor venue and that the promoter doesn’t stiff him on his pay packet.

But just as Tyson didn’t have it as early as his loss to England’s Danny Williams (who is still going as a registered pro, by the way, with a ledger of 54 wins and 28 losses), Roy could not pull the trigger as early as roughly twelve years ago, when the Pride of Wales, Joe Calzaghe, diced the former great to mince in a one-sided contest almost as wince-worthy as Calzaghe’s masterclass against Jeff Lacy. Now to Roy Jones Jr., the most preternaturally gifted and exciting fighter of his era, and one of the most talented to ever lace up the gloves. To wit: both men are not only well-past prime, but the traits that we most admired in them were already pretty much spent in the twilight of their pro careers. So when I say now that I will probably be skipping this fight (just as I did the Mayweather-McGregor cash grab), it won’t be because of any guilt complex.
