Larry Merchant and Floyd Mayweather when the interview took place. Notice the expression of absolute bliss on Merchant's face.

“You ain't never been in the ring, HBO should fire you! You don't know shit!”

– Floyd Mayweather to his 85 year old interviewer, Larry Merchant

“If I was 50 years younger, I'd kick your ass!!”

– Larry Merchant's reply to the above

Floyd Mayweather is an egotistical maniac, a person imbued with himself who also happens to be arguably the best punch thrower on the planet. He has been World champion in 24 weight categories and is currently the undisputed cattleweight champ. He often compared himself to Muhammad Ali, Martin Luther King or Ali Baba. His reputation among boxing fans varies wildly, from piece of shit to funny piece of shit.
