      Ray Heffner, Have you seen the fight? It was a great night for Hopkins, he retained his undisputed title and did it without a mark on his face. He would’ve knocked him out if Hakkar’s promoter didn’t stop the fight. Some people can do nothing wrong and still be treated like they did everything wrong. If he lost every round took a beating and stopped him in the last round like Mike Weaver did to John Tate they would revere him. That would be an actually terrible night for the man. He’s was just doing his job to keep his titles.

And then said “Well you got paid for not doing much” the job of an interviewer is to ask questions, granted he is a commentator as well but his opinion wasn’t warranted in that moment, Hopkins didn’t ask for Merchants opinion on his performance nor did it matter. That was his way of trying to get the last word off, and he still failed cause you’re interviewing Bernard Hopkins 😂

He fought Maidana, Zab Juddah, and Hatton in their primes (Just to name a few). As much as I like GGG he would not go down in weight to fight anyone. GGG has stayed is whole career in middleweight and that is not going to change. If you do not like Mayweather that is fine but weather you like it or not he is one of the best ever.

    BHop held his own but Larry a legend for calling out the bullshit. Larry should have called out HBO first for paying for that trash ass fight, but Hopkins deserved that for toying with a bum for 12 rounds and wasting everybody's time. Hopkins went on to do much bigger and better things. I'll always respect Larry for not being easily impressed and keeping it G-real with fighters

    At 2:12, "Isn't it embarrassing for the middleweight champion of the world to be calling out junior middleweight champions?" Why didn't Larry Merchant ever ask that question to GGG when he called out Mayweather and Pacquiao, two small welterweight, and never called out Andre Ward or Sergey Kovalev?

      Gone from HBO, but he would still pop up in interviews and as an announcer for other promotions, which made you wonder if he was retired or dismissed, offering his bias opinions. And he wasn't retired when GGG big middleweight ass was calling out small welterweights such as Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, and he never criticized GGG for that.
