I agree with you a 100% on Merchant, he is like the arpi of boxing commentating. He needs to take long pauses to think of some grandiose word to describe a simple act, he needs to speak in analogies and as if every word that comes out of his mouth is like pearls.
He is a major bandwagon jumper, he was allover jones dick for years and before Jones hit the canvas against Tarver, Merchant was already writing his obituary and writing him off as having a weak chin.
He's just all around annoying, at times he does do something that is ballsy like going toe to toe with Don King or Mocking delahoyas mariachi band, etc and the execs and fans say "eh, keep him around".
But overall he's massivly annoying, he takes forever to speak, laughs at his own lame jokes and always tries to make analogies that makes you wanna choke him. It was entertaining atleast when Foreman was around and they'd be like siskel and ebert, basically telling eachother to go fuck themselves in nice tones. But now it's just annoying to hear him, Lampley is among the best blow by blow men ever and he has a memory like a steel trap for dates, fights, rounds, etc.
