9. “There are too many governing bodies. They’re all corrupt. I think they have replaced the old mobsters with the kind of ‘corporate rule’ of boxing.”  Larry Merchant.

Larry Merchant is one crazy SOB. Although essentially a madman with a microphone, he is a longstanding and world famous commentator and boxing pundit (I know everyone’s a pundit these days but he really is) having spent more than 30yrs at ringside analysing fights. Here, he highlights the harsh reality that lives within the dark-shadows of the sport.

The silver-haired-MC will most recently be remembered for his comical-outburst (akin to verbal assault) aimed at undefeated 5-division-world-champion Floyd Mayweather Jr; “If I was 20 yrs younger I would kick your butt!’’ is what he said amidst a farcical post-fight interview with the champ, at the Mayweather vs. Ortiz kerfuffle. You could put 20 Larry Merchant’s in the ring with Floyd and they could all be in their prime, and they would still come up short. Sorry Larry.
