40
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: when they I tell my children as well as people

41
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: around me, dying as a part of life, right, So

42
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, we have to enjoy every second that we're

43
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: on this earth and cherish every second that we're on

44
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: this earth. You mentioned that you're you're working with fighters.

45
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: I've seen you upload things on your IG account that

46
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: you're working with your son, You're working with your nephew

47
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: and some of the fighters when you're an all time

48
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: great and I and I say this in my sport, Floyd, normally,

49
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: the greater the player is, the harder it is for

50
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: him to coach because he thinks everything is easy because

51
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: everything came easy. Well, how difficult it is for you

52
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: to train people when you're arguably the greatest fighter of

53
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: all times. Well, what I teach my son is this,

54
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: but I'll be teaching my son is how to protect

55
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: himself and protect his family just in case anything happens.

56
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: I'm no longer here. You still have to be the

57
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: man in your home and how to protect your loved ones.

58
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: So that's why that's why I teach. I try to

59
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: teach my children, my two boys as well as my daughters,

60
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: is about protection. Not to go out and start any

61
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: trouble or start any problems. But you have to you

62
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: have to protect yourself and protect your family, just hypothetically,

63
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: say something happens down the line, and far as just

64
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: working with fight as far as a lot of times

65
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: I'd like to say, well, a great a great athlete

66
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: can't be a great trainer, right, I just try to

67
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: be the best to the I could posity d Right,

68
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: I'm not looking forward to a fighter being a floy

69
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: in Mayweather. Hopefully we can't find the next Floyd Mayweather

70
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: and hopefully we can do record breaking numb as far

71
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: as pay per view. But everything takes time, and I'm

72
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: gonna continue to go go out there and get it

73
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: back to the sport of boxing. You know, day in

74
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: the day, I work with these fighters. So you're not

75
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: teaching your son to per se going to the sport.

76
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: You're teaching him how to be able to protect himself

77
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: if that situation should arise. Absolutely, that's what I'm trying

78
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: to do. Just teach them how to protect themselves. Hold

79
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: down as far as the house, you know, their own home, right,

80
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: take their family, which someday they will have a family,

81
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: and you have to be the man at your home

82
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: in order to protect your family. So are you still

83
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: in the gym do you, Because I remember you saying

84
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: that when you were when you were actually fighting, when

85
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: you were active, you were training three times a day.

86
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: So how active are you now? Are you training or

87
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: do you just go or as I say, work out well,

88
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: actually is crazy. As of lately, I've been running clean.

89
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: I've been you know, when I was fighting, when I

90
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: was competing, when I was running miles. As now I

91
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: just run for a time. I run between thirty thirty

92
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: minutes in one hour. It already depends on how I feel,

93
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: you know that particular day running. Also, every once in

94
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: a while, I hit the heavy bag and the gym

95
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: jump rope. Uh, I'm doing push ups and sit ups

96
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: on the regular, just for myself. You know. I truly

97
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: believe that your health is your wealth. So uh, you

98
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: don't want to make you know, make a fortune in

99
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: the sport and let yourself get out of shape. So

100
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: I try. I try to work out just for myself.

101
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: So when I go on the beach and or if

102
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: I go out by the pool, I wouldn't make sure

103
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: I could take my shirt off just for myself, right,

104
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: So when when I look at you and I watch

105
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: you fight, it's not like you have to do like

106
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: a lot of fighters, because a lot of fighters have

107
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: to drop twenty five thirty pounds. You're a guy that

108
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: seemingly only have to drop like ten pounds because you're

109
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: so close to your fighting weight all the time, so

110
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: you don't have to kill yourself to get in shape

111
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: and say a six or eight week training camp. Well,

112
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: you know it's crazy because I was fighting, I was

113
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: world champion. I was world champion at fight different weight classes, correct,

114
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: but when I was competing at the highest level, it

115
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: was mainly probably at one forty seven as well as

116
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: one fighting at one forty seven as well as going

117
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: fifty four right. So right now, I you know, I

118
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: keep my weight around oh between i'd say one fifty

119
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: five one fifty, go up and down. I try to

120
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: keep my weight around one fifty one fifty. If I

121
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: go up a little bit higher, uh, then you know

122
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: I pushed myself a little bit more. You know, it's

123
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: just the discipline for myself. I do it for myself, right,

124
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: So in other words, you're fighting at you know, wealthweight

125
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: one forty seven away. Even when I was fighting at

126
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: one fifty four, right, I was always walking around at

127
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: right always, So that's like middleweight. Correct, Well, super watch Away,

128
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: super water Away and Junior Middleway is the same way class, okay,

129
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: because it's you right above waterweight, which because waterway is

130
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: on under forty seven. Correct, if you're above watch Away,

131
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: you're a super watch Away and if you under junior

132
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: Middleway because middleway it's one sixty. If you're the middleway,

133
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: it's junior Middleway. So anytime you hear uh, super or

134
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: junior right, same weight class, I appreciate that. Appreciate the education.

135
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: So you stay within your you stay within striking distance.

136
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: Are you trying to are you telling us something? Are

137
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: you trying to get ready for something because you say

138
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: you're running thirty minutes to an hour? Well, you know,

139
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: I don't really know at this particular time, but I

140
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: get calls all the time. I get calls about doing exhibitions,

141
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,559
Speaker 1: and you know, I've seen something. Somebody has said something,

142
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, somebody for my staff has said, send me

143
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: something about what I said about being a pioneer of exhibitions. Correct.

144
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to say I'm the pioneer of exhibitions,

145
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: but what I want to say as far as the

146
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: pioneer for getting crazy money for exhibitions. That's safe to say,

147
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: you know, to be able to make I's got a

148
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: number thrown at me not too long ago, to do

149
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: an exhibition. We talk about, Uh, you know my number.

150
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: It varies, it goes up and down. We asked for

151
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: some for some exhibitions. Uh, I make ten millions, you know,

152
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: and some go all the way up to seventy millions.

153
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: So that's not a bad thing. And I talked about

154
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: this with Fat Joe. It's crazy. And I talked about

155
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: this a few times. It's crazy that like us, you know,

156
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: like you, I mean say, if if I no longer

157
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: I'm no longer competing in the ring, no longer fighting,

158
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: but it's okay for me to still pick up. If

159
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: I go make a quick appearance overseas, it's okay for

160
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: me to make three hundred and fifty thousand. It's okay.

161
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I said the Waltons, it's still making money

162
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: from Walmart, correct, Bill Gates is still making money. Or

163
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: a bust off, it's still making money. It's still making money. Right,

164
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: I go out and do a little sparing or you know,

165
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: make appearances or make a couple of dollartunists all Floyd's

166
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: hurting for money. One thing about me, I was very smart,

167
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: got a very very smart team, keep up a lot

168
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: of smart people around me. You must buy yourself with

169
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: smart people. And I made great investments, so I'm not

170
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: hurting at all. The thing is, Floyd, is that what

171
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: people don't realize. The more money you make, the heart

172
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: of people normally work. When you get that upper eche line,

173
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: you get those billionaires and those high end one hundred millionaires,

174
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: they work, They don't sit around. They work. They can

175
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 1: continually try to grow the capitol. I got you where

176
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: I got you by working, not sitting right. Retirement for

177
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: me is not just coming home, sitting sitting back, kicking

178
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: my feet up, just watching TV. I still want to

179
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 1: go out and have fun and enjoy life, and I'm

180
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: still going to the twos and fuse and extra dollars.

181
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: It never hurts. They add up huh, they add up

182
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: them too. Literally, Yes, absolutely, Floyd. You said you said exhibition.

183
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: I look at what you did in Japan when you

184
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: fought that guy as an exhibition. I don't look at

185
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: what you did with Connor as an exhibition, because you know,

186
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: for me, it's how do you do it? Like I

187
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: can play flat like I was an next professional football player.

188
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: I can do flag football. Okay, if you're a basketball player,

189
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: you can go to like the Celebrity All Star Game.

190
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: You can do that. But how do you celebrity box?

191
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: I mean those leaks hurt. I mean somebody's really trying

192
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: to land shots on you, and they hurt. So I'm

193
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: trying to figure out, how do you how do you

194
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: exhibition box? Well, they told me in Japan, and uh,

195
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: I was gonna go out there and just move around

196
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: with the guy right and you know, take it light

197
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: right three rounds, thinking like they said, no, we want

198
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: you to go out there and really get it in.

199
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: We're asked for that fight. As you can see, I

200
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: look a little heavy, So I was. I wasn't the same.

201
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: I wasn't working out like I'm working out now right

202
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: that I really wasn't working out, Okay. I wanted a

203
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: gym and sit. Let me spar a spar a couple

204
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: of times. Then I went over to Japan and picked

205
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: up like nine to ten million. Right, Okay, now you're

206
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: talking you you said you mentioned Connor McGregor. Now you

207
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: had to take this fight series. Obviously you trained you

208
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: put the work in because you know he's coming to

209
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: He's coming to try to win this fight. He wants

210
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: to say I did something no other boxer can do.

211
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm hung the aloe, Floyd Mayweather, Julia Well kind of McGregor.

212
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: A lot of people must realize this. Before Connor McGregor

213
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: got involved in the m M A right, he was

214
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: a boxer, Okay, the former boxer, whether it's amateur or professional,

215
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: different from an amateur fighter. Fighters that got a lot

216
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: of amateur experience, meaning if you got three or four

217
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: hundred fights, three or four hundred fights as an amateur,

218
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: you really basically as a semi pro. Right, So he

219
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: never fought semi pro, but he had a little experience,

220
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: and majority of his fights in the MMA, it's stand

221
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: up right, I mean, so another word, even though he's

222
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: not a professional fighter, he has the basic understanding of

223
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: boxing because, like as you mentioned, when he's in the MMA,

224
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: he's not trying to take people to the ground. He's

225
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: not trying to r bar leglocks on one. He's trying

226
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: to get them to stand up in the middle of

227
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: the ring and land shots. The basic fundamentals. And every

228
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: time Connor McGregor has kicking the m in the UFC.

229
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: It's been because he has got he has gotten taken

230
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: to the ground, Cory. You know his his ground game

231
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: is really not that effective. But I mean my hat

232
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: on too, And it's crazy that a guy can steal

233
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: a Caucasian guy can steal my whole remedy and go

234
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: to UFC and become huge. But it is what it is,

235
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: you mean, So talk us through the fight with Connor McGregor.

236
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: Obviously he's a a UFC MLA, And it seems like

237
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: to me, your game plan was like you would just walk.

238
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: I've never seen you just like you like take, You

239
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: like taking usure, you like walking through his punches. Do

240
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: you not feel he could take he could knock you out? Oh?

241
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. Like I said before, you know, when you've

242
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: been in there with the best, right when I say

243
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: the best, meaning I mean I could throw so many

244
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: different names out, you know, out there, because we'll we'll

245
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: get to those names in the minute. We're gonna talk

246
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: about that. Because Floyd, I don't think you get the

247
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: credit you deserve for the fighters that you are. You

248
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: beat sixteen world champs, you're fifteen old. But people always

249
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: make excuses joy Day La Joya was old. No I

250
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: think no, I think I'd beat I'm not mistaken. I

251
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: beat twenty three you bet. Wow. Okay, somewhere up with that.

252
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: But it really doesn't matter. Okay, It's it's all about

253
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's all about am

254
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: I satisfied? Okay, I'm satisfied with my career. And I remember,

255
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, you guys when we talked about athlete in

256
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: a decade. I remember you guys when we had a

257
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, a crazy debate about me and Lebron Jay

258
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated. Yeah, And my thing is this, I don't

259
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: I don't talk about anything. I speak facts, and I'm

260
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: gonna always uh stand behind uh athletes that compete and

261
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: go out there and give it one hundred percent every night.

262
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: And I was one of those those type of athletes.

263
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: So why don't you think do you think some of

264
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: the things that have happened in your career off the

265
00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: outside of the ring hurt you when it came to this, Well, okay,

266
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: my thing is this, are we talking about my personal

267
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: life or what I do inside that square circle? I mean,

268
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to find out because what I do

269
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: in my personal life is my personal life, correct, and

270
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: what someone else does in their personal life is their

271
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: personal life. It's so I'm there to you know, I'm

272
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: there to compete and be the best that I can

273
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: be in the sport of boxing or whatever. You know.

274
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: Whatever I'm doing, whatever I feel I'm involved in, I'm

275
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: always gonna give give it one hundred percent. So people

276
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: are entitled to judge me for what they hear, hearsay,

277
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: making assumptions just because I never came out and said, all,

278
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: let me explain, I don't have to explain them to know, Aboudy.

279
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: Only people. Only people that I feel like I have

280
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: to explain something too is my children and and my relationship.

281
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: And because at the end of the day, only guy

282
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: I can judgment. Let's let's let's go back to where

283
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: it all started. You grew up in Grand Rapids, Yes, Michigan.

284
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: Your father was a fighter, Your uncle was a fighter.

285
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: Both both uncles too, Okay, both uncles were fighter. So

286
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: it was almost like you was like destined. It was predetermined,

287
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: you were ordained to be a fighter. Yes, that's all

288
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: I knew, you know, But did you ever want to

289
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: do anything else when I was coming up? Yeah, well,

290
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: you know I played football. Actually I played vigeon. Okay,

291
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: what position did you play? Running back? You told that's

292
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: kid running back. I was always I was always the

293
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: fastest one on my h football team. Right. Uh. I

294
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: have fun, a lot of fun, and if I chose them.

295
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,479
Speaker 1: If I wanted to play football, I could have played football.

296
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: If I wanted to play basketball, I could have played basketball.

297
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: It's whatever. It's whatever I wanted to do, Floyd, when

298
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: I look, but it's not easy because I have a

299
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: son that I played professional football. My brother played professional football,

300
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,239
Speaker 1: but he wanted no parts of that, and I'm I

301
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: was perfectly fine. I didn't say you need to play

302
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: because I played, your uncle play your grandfather. I didn't

303
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: do any of that. I let him chose his path.

304
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: Did you feel any outside pressure to do this or

305
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: because your uncle, because your uncle is and because your

306
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: father well fightings, did you feel any pressure to do that? None? Whatsoever.

307
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: I'm glad that my dad pushed me. My dad pushed

308
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: me and wanted me to be the best. It was

309
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: never good enough, and that's what I like about my dad.

310
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: It was very very strict. I mean, I mean when

311
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: you when you when when you when you say a strong, willing,

312
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: hard working man, that's my dad. And I don't care

313
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 1: what we what we have been through in the past.

314
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: It's all about growth and growing. I love my dad

315
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 1: because without my dad, I wouldn't be the man who

316
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: I am today. I wouldn't have accomplished the things I've accomplished,

317
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't be known as TV if it wasn't

318
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: for my father. So I loved my dad. My dad

319
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: every day no matter what my dad did. My dad

320
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: would run the streets, my dad would hustle, but every

321
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: day my dad would make sure I went to the

322
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: boxing him every day. And I love my dad for that.

323
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: You said, you you said because I heard Roy Jones

324
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: say this exact same thing. Because he had his dad

325
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: as a trainer, he ended up partying ways with his dad.

326
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: You ended up partying waves because you felt that it

327
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: was never good enough, and it was he was adding

328
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 1: more pressure than needed to be there. How did you

329
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: come to that decision? Say, you know what, I'm gonna

330
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: part wait, I'm gonna keep it in the family. But

331
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: that's have to be a hard decision, Floyd, because your

332
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: dad is like you got my name, I get help

333
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: give you life and you you you party ways with me,

334
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: It's not it's not really partning ways. It's what people

335
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: don't know. Okay, we forget when my dad. My dad

336
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: left me at the age of sixteen. My dad went

337
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: to prison, so I was on my own at sixteen.

338
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: From sixteen to the to the age of nineteen, I

339
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: was working by myself. Then I started working with my

340
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: aunt back with my uncle Roger. So it's always been

341
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: in the family. I would work with my dad, I

342
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: would work with my uncle Roger. I would always work

343
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: with both. So it's really not like I was like departing,

344
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: just leaving my father. And I'm not the jealous type.

345
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: When my dad was working with other fighters, as far

346
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: as working with Oscar and just Chad Dawson and other fighters,

347
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: I was happy that my dad was able to steal

348
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: work with fighters and they great money. Right, I'm not

349
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: like that. Floyd. You had a very you win Golden

350
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: gloves in three different weight class. You're a champion, you

351
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,479
Speaker 1: go to the Olympics. Talk us through that because I

352
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: remember watching that and how you got robbed. Now back,

353
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: you lost six fights as an amateur. All of those

354
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,479
Speaker 1: fights you lost by one point yes, loving those fights.

355
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: So tell me what's going through your mind after a lost?

356
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: Tell me how do you get how do you get over?

357
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: And said, oh man, I should have won that. Did

358
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: you think any of those fights? Not the Olympics, We're

359
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: gonna get to that in a minute, but did you

360
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: think you should have won any of those fights that

361
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: you amateur fights you lost? I mean, I mean absolutely.

362
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: I mean if you if you if I lost six

363
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: fights all by one point one point, then there's really

364
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 1: something to that. I mean I was fighting on a

365
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: computer scoring system, so I mean that was kind of

366
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: difficult when I was fighting on a computer scoring system.

367
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,479
Speaker 1: But you know, as far as how I looked at

368
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: amateur boxing, it's just, uh, this is as a learning

369
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: program preparing you for the professional ranks. If that's something

370
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: where you choose, If that's something you choose to do.

371
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 1: Am I really worried about. Am I happy with my

372
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: amateur career? Absolutely? If I'm happy with receiving the bronze

373
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: medal and not winning and not winning goal, absolutely, because

374
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: that got to hurt the flowing flow back. The judge

375
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: raised your hand, he thought you had won, you mean

376
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: the referee referee, Yeah, referaise your hand. The referee raised

377
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: my hand because he thought I won't. Yes, but I'm

378
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: glad that the fight went like you went. Why if

379
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: it did, it made me work that much harder as

380
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: a professional not to feel that same pain again. So

381
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: you believe losing that was the greatest thing that ever

382
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: happened to Floyd Mayweather Junior. That was that was one

383
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: of the one of the the best things that happened

384
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: to me, one of the best things. One of them. Yes,

385
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: and that same guy is, you know, and I feel

386
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: bad that same guy that I that I lost too

387
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: is now it's somewhat homeless. Yes, I read that story.

388
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: You know that's crazy. You know, I wish it nothing

389
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: but the best. And I don't know why he didn't

390
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: become a boxing trainer, because at that particular time when

391
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: we fought, he was all he was already old, a

392
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: lot older than I was, because you know, I was

393
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: fighting at the elite stage. I was fighting at the

394
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: elite stage at sixteen, and you know, I wanted to

395
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: turn professional at the age of fourteen, but you know

396
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: it never happened. At five years later, I turned professional

397
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:10,719
Speaker 1: at nineteen. Uh Then within a year a year, a

398
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: little bit over a year or something, I became world

399
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: champion and was world champion almost. Well, I mean someone

400
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: like probably like twenty years. You you turn prop, you

401
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: turn pro right after the Olympics. The Olympics in ninety

402
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: six were held in Atlanta. You become world champion. Ninety

403
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: eight you stopped her Nandez. So what's going I mean,

404
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: that's that's a fast turnaround, Floyd. I mean normally guys

405
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: need eighteen twelve fights before they even get a title shot.

406
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: And within since inside of two years, your world CHAMPI well,

407
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,479
Speaker 1: this is the reason why. Because I was active. Okay,

408
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: I'm very, very active, a total. Sometimes I would go

409
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: to the promotion, to the promotion, uh, to the well

410
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: basically I would go to top rank, which at it

411
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: was it was my promoters. Okay. I would go to

412
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: the office. I would go to the board. Uh Bruce Tramplett,

413
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: a guy named Bruce Tramplett was the matchmaker. I would

414
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: go going there, UH say I'm gonna fight this day.

415
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 1: They said, Floyd, you know you're one of our top

416
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: fighters and we know you demand you know, uh you

417
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: know a heavy play that I said, listen, Uh pay

418
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,719
Speaker 1: me what you think I deserve pay me something solid.

419
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: I just want to stay active because I know where

420
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get to. You know, as far as

421
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: with my career, they would keep me active. I think

422
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: it was. It wasn't even a full two years. I

423
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: fought seventeen fights. Then I fought for the title. But

424
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,479
Speaker 1: boxes don't fight like that. In the mortel, Floyd, I mean,

425
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: you're basically fighting every every couple of months. You're upset.

426
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I shouldn't be upset with myself with what

427
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: I did to the support of boxing, right every fight,

428
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: every fighter now I want I want to Floyd May

429
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't play that right, you know, But I put it.

430
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: I put it in a lot of hard work. I

431
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 1: got to it was. It wasn't easy, very very course,

432
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: and I and I really wasn't crying and complain. I

433
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: would just say, yo, put me in put him in

434
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: front of me. I'll beat him to show the world

435
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: that I'm I'm the best, and some day I would

436
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: go down in history as the best. Do you believe

437
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: they were heathenant to do that because they knew they

438
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: didn't want you to take the nail. You knew you

439
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: weren't gonna take the nail. But it sometimes promotion companies

440
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: they protect their fighters because they feel that protected them

441
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: from themselves. It's crazy that the promoter bothering him. I

442
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: can't say these fighters don't don't don't see this. One

443
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: minute he is saying, uh Ali is Ali is one

444
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: of the best that I then this, then this may

445
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 1: was it, then this pancaa, and then it's uh low

446
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: machine go. Then it's this guy. I mean, boy, I mean,

447
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 1: these these promoters they killed me. I mean, Floyd, you

448
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: did something that nobody had done at that time. You

449
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: broke with the promotion company and struck out on your own.

450
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: How did you come to that decision? How do you say?

451
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: You know what, instead of me fighting for him and

452
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: him getting a chunk of this, why not I fight?

453
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: I'm fighting, I'm in the ring. He ain't taking no blows.

454
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: Let me get all of this, let me keep on

455
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: percent of the revenue. Yeah, I can see how fighters

456
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: right now. And it's no, there's no It's not like

457
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: I'm throwing shape. It's just that if I accomplished everything

458
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: that I've accomplished, and I've done everything that I've done,

459
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: how can you go to a I mean, I look

460
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: at gods like Terence Crawford, right, Terence Crawford can be

461
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: a lot bigger than he is. How can you you

462
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: get how can you make me? And this shows, I mean,

463
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: this shows that racism still exists. How can you say

464
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: that low Machinko is better than Terrince Crawford? Not at all,

465
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: not in a million years, not at all. Are they unsure? Flowed?

494
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: on television, right old school, we believe in putting fighters

Speaker 1: on showtime or Fox or pay per view. We're gonna

496

497
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: take these fighters to the next level. Floyd. Where people

498
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: don't realize is that earning your career. And they Floyd

499
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: doesn't have any power. Floyd, you were stopping people, Yes,

500
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: you were stopping No, no, no, and that's and that

501
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: goes a lot that and I think that have a

502
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: lot to do with how you were able to ascend

503
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: so back you were stopping champions. Yeah, I'm not no

504
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: runn of the meal, Not no guys that had five fights.

505
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: You corrals, you carry corrals well as you as your career.

506
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: You know this as a football player, right, Bady break

507
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: down as you get overder and you still have you

508
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: still have to find ways to win, right, And that's

509
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: why Tom Brady is such a great quarterback because he's

510
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: still he still won't run a way to win. If

511
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: he say, guess what, I don't care what y'all gotta do.

512
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: Give me the best line to give me the best protection.

513
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: I can get the ball to any why I receive it,

514
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: Just give me the best protection. Right. So far as me,

515
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: I'm still so mentally strong, so I still can find

516
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: ways to win, even though if my body when when

517
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: my body broke down, I still found different ways to win.

518
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: And that's what makes me so great. Why would I mean?

519
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: The thing is the way you fault. You fault from

520
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,479
Speaker 1: a defensive stance. But you were landing shots and everybody says, well,

521
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: Bloyd doesn't have any power. I said, well, if he

522
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: didn't have any power, why don't people just walk him down?

523
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: Why don't they walk through those punches? If he has

524
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: no power, why don't people walk him down? You just see,

525
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna take my hand off to another. You know,

526
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: another hell of a fighter, a guy that I faced Canelo. Okay,

527
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: this man, you see, he won a light heavyweight championship,

528
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: even beat all these these guys who they say, it's uh,

529
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: he beat trouble. He beat it out, he beat it

530
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: out a great Yeah, I can't take it. I can't

531
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: take it in away from him. But then when you

532
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: faced Floyd Mayweather, they say, and remember, you're at your

533
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: best when you're younger, right, young, Now, you gonna look

534
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: at a Floyd Mayweather when I was twenty one, that's

535
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: when I got I got a Fighter of the Year

536
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: at twenty, right. I think I faced Canelo. He get

537
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: in twenty three, twenty two. I don't know what was

538
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: his age at that particular time, right, But then they

539
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: say he's in experience, but he had I think when

540
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: we fought, he had more fights than I did. But

541
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: we were talking about this at the at the at

542
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,479
Speaker 1: the elite level right, you had a lot of fights,

543
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: and Floyd, we we talked about this earlier, and that's

544
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: a lot of problems that I get pushed back and

545
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: with my car host. I said, you keep saying that

546
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: he hadn't fought. You make excuses. You say day La

547
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: Joya was old, You say god it was out class,

548
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: you say Canello was young. You make all these excuses,

549
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: but he beat them. Okay, So so when okay, So

550
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: if I'm twenty right, twenty four right soon? If I'm thirty,

551
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: he's thirty four right, okay, So it's not like when

552
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: he was in his twenties. I was in my twenties

553
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: when me and Oscar fought, we both was in our thirties,

554
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: right when I fought many pack Yell. Actually, I think

555
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: I'm a couple of years older than pack. Yeah, correct,

556
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: So I was when I thought pack Yell. I don't

557
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: know if I was thirty eight. I was thirty eight.

558
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: He probably was thirty six, thirty four, So it's always

559
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: gonna be an excuse. Uh Do I care? Absolutely not?

560
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: But why why don't you think you received the credit

561
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: that you deserved? I mean jealousy, jealousy, I speak my mind.

562
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: I'm not like it's not like the NFL. It's not

563
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: like the NBA, where a lot of times the players

564
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: can't really say what they want to say right, do

565
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: what they really want to do. Right, you're want to

566
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: tie you, they're keeping that there. They'll cut you and

567
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: then you'll be out with me myself. Like you look

568
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: at uh Colin Kaepernick, correct when he when he took

569
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: a stand on what he believed in, you gotta go right,

570
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: So a lot of time when he's I just take

571
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: certain stas you gotta go, whereas you can't tell me

572
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: I gotta go. Because at the end of the day,

573
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: even right now, Floyd Mayweather is still the face of

574
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: boxing without even competing. The reason why I'm the face

575
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: of boxing is because it is every time boxing, come on,

576
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: you don't bring up Muhammad Ali name, you don't bring

577
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: up Mike Tyson name. You always bring up Floyd neame

578
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: o the name. Because I'm still the face of boxing.

579
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: But what I don't understand, though, is that this is

580
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: what the great, the late Emanuel Stewart said about you

581
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: when you fought. He says, quote, there have been very

582
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: few mortalented than this kid. He's gonna win two or

583
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: three world titles, and he's gonna be the best ever.

584
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,760
Speaker 1: Emanuel Stewart trained holy Field, trained Lennox Lewis, he trained,

585
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: he trained some of the great fighters, and this is

586
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 1: what he's saying about a up and coming Floyd Mayweather.

587
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: Jim Lampley says, I haven't seen anybody like this since

588
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: Winnie Pep. This is what This is what people that's

589
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,479
Speaker 1: been around the Florida boxing this is what they're saying

590
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: about Floyd Maywether. So I don't understand why I made

591
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: jealous because I speak my mind. I speak from the

592
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: heart and I speak my mind. Is that absolutely not.

593
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, I'm happy with my

594
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: results inside the ring. I'm not my results on the outside.

595
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: Because I can say what I want to say. Eve,

00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:38,240
Speaker 1: I say this to all athletes right now when you guys,

597
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: when we're talking about because you know, even though there's

598
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: a lot going on the George Floyd situation with the

599
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: Brianna Taylor, you know, and I have to take you know,

600
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: it's so it's so much crazy stuff going on. Brihanna

601
00:36:54,680 --> 00:37:02,280
Speaker 1: Taylor is born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Like myself, Okay,

602
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: you know, I know Brianna Taylor father. You know he

603
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: actually he's in prison right now. I know her father.

604
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: Now we look on a court right now, on the

605
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: NBA court, and we see these guys. We see these

606
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: guys kneeling, and we see black lives. Black lives matter.

607
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: This is what I want to say for the athletes

608
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: and the entertainers, this is what we need to do.

609
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: We need to have different policies come in far as

610
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 1: with with these these police officers. If it's something that's

611
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: not done right, if it's something that's not done right,

612
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: you guys get the death penalty or you guys get

613
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: life without parole. Wow, if that happens, then guess what,

614
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: then we gonna get some different results. Then this will stop.

615
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: But it's almost these guys are just getting a slap

616
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: on the wrist. This will continue to happen. So I

617
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: don't want these I don't want the NBA to just

618
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: put that on the court. I don't want the NFL.

619
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: I don't want these guys just just kneeling. Right, you

620
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: something about this, and if you guys do something like

621
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: what I said, these guys had the officer, the same

622
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 1: officer that did those officers that did that to George Floyd.

623
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: They deserved life without cool before Floyd can't. We're just

624
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: not starting to get officers charged. So can we get

625
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: them charged and get some conviction before we moved to

626
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,280
Speaker 1: the death field of we I mean, guess what, guess

627
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: what happened. Guys ain't gonna be them gonn a slap

628
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: on the wrist and they'll be back out and be

629
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: back with their families. Well, I agree. I agree that

630
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: because the police unions are so strong. You see the

631
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: guy that shot I think his name was Richard Brooks

632
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, he's already suing to get his job back.

633
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 1: And because they get slapped, as you mentioned, they get

634
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 1: slapped on the slapped on the wrist, they get to

635
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: go right back on the street. They got Floyd, Where

636
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 1: can you work at if you got twenty five thirty

637
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,919
Speaker 1: complaints and keep your job? You kill one, two, three

638
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: people and you keep your job. How it's rough, it's rough,

639
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: and it's tough. Mean, we have to come together. We

640
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: have to come together and work together and stop being

641
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:37,399
Speaker 1: jealous of one another. We have to we have to

642
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: stop worried about who got the most this, and who

643
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: got the most that, and who's the best here and

644
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: who's the best there, and work together as one. We

645
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:51,720
Speaker 1: have to we have That would be nice. But Floyd,

646
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: you do understand, because of the history of America and

647
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: the seeds that have been sawn, the racism seeds that

648
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: we're planning in sixteen nineteen, it's kind of hard to

649
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 1: have an open and honest dialogue because when you start

650
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: talking about what transpired, they shifted conversation to Chicago. Okay,

651
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 1: you can cure cancer and you can cure heart disease.

652
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: I mean, why we can't do two things? It was

653
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: but they only wanted you to focus on one thing.

654
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: And it's crazy. I was talking about I was speaking

655
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: about this last night about you know, the city of Chicago.

656
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: My heart goes off to the city of Chicago. One

657
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: of my best friends, Nate Jones, the guy who wears

658
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: the body suit that I punched when I'm in streaming right,

659
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: we was on the same Olympic team. We was like,

660
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we've been best friends since He's been one

661
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: of my best friends since nineteen ninety four. And I

662
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: used to hang in the worst projects at that particular

663
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: time for years. One of the worst projects in America,

664
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: which was Cabrini Green Green Yep. Mean I've seen a

665
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: lot of crazy things throughout my life, just coming up

666
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:12,439
Speaker 1: in an inner city, hanging out in Chicago, hanging out

667
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: in Jersey, being in New York with my family, just

668
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: throughout my life, just me myself, coming from poverty. We

669
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: have to stop being jealous of one another for real.

670
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: I really want to say this. Chicago and even in

671
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: La we gang bang, But what are we gang banging for? For? What?

672
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: What are we gang banging for? For? What we gotta?

673
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: It always killed me. You're fighting for turf. You're fighting

674
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 1: for turf. You don't even know. No, it's not it's

675
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: not that you're fighting. It'll be like, you know this

676
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: my block, but you're written the house on that block exactly.

677
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: You're saying that this our turf. And I'll always talk

678
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 1: about this. Before you can speak on uh turf, own

679
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: own the piece of the earth. First, Own something, before

680
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: you can say something is yours, right before you put

681
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: your money into a diamond chain or a watch, own

682
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 1: your house, Own something first. So I mean, you're fighting

683
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: and they say that, you know, like even like I

684
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: talk about this, we don't call the European the Europeans

685
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: that came over. We don't call them European Americans. So

686
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,800
Speaker 1: don't call us African Americans, you know what I'm saying.

687
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: They call us African Americans when they want to separate us,

688
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: a differentiate and like I said before, and separate us

689
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: when they want, like when I'm competing for the a liberty,

690
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm an American, correct. But then when I do something

691
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: that they don't like, Oh, when they want to separate me,

692
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,240
Speaker 1: I'm an African American. I can compete on the African

693
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: American Olympic team. I'm an American. It's okay if you

694
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: want to say he's a he's a black American, But

695
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 1: I'm an American at the end of the day, because

696
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: most of the the most of the the black Americans

697
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: that we call African Americans in this country don't know

698
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: nothing about Africa or don't even know what try and

699
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: they come from. So when they want to say, uh,

700
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: Barack Obama is the first African American person, No, no,

701
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: he's not. I mean he's the first black American. That's

702
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: what I want to say. That's how I look at things.

703
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: I mean, and we all look we all got different views.

704
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 1: That's just how I view things. So everybody got their

705
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: own opinion and just in life, period, I don't let

706
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: nobody stop my drive and my will to win just

707
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: in life. I don't care like a lot of times

708
00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: everybody Donald Trump, I don't care who's the president. That's

709
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: not gonna stop my drive and my will to win

710
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 1: in life. And that's gonna not gonna stop me for

711
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: teaching my kids just about you know, about life and

712
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: tell them about my struggle and tell them about working

713
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: hard and surpassing me and becoming better than me just

714
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: in life. Well, Floyd, you I remember a couple of

715
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,760
Speaker 1: years ago when Gucci came out and they had this

716
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: this racist that had I think the black it was

717
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 1: a sweat shirt or a sweater that had the black

718
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 1: with the big that had the red lips. And then

719
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 1: you you I ged yourself in the Gucci store and

720
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm not gonna let anybody dictate to me

721
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: what I can and can't wear. Explain your decision that

722
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: went into like because you know a lot of black

723
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: people upset with you, but like you said, you're your

724
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 1: own man, So talk to me, talk us through what

725
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: went into your your mindset and doing that I'm I'm

726
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,959
Speaker 1: wrong for having my own my own I'm not wrong

727
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: for having my own opinion, right, I mean because if

728
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: that's the case, If you guys want to say I'm

729
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,280
Speaker 1: gonna stop winning Gucci, then guess what, stop winning everything else?

730
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: Because all of all those people run together, right They're

731
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: all they all network and run together as one. I

732
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 1: have my own opinion, and guess what it's it's crazy

733
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 1: when when you speak about that, because when you go

734
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: look at I want everybody to go back and look

735
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: at when I posted, you know, when I when with

736
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: the Gucci post, When I when I when I post

737
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: what I never said nobody name, never said the name,

738
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 1: never called out one particular person. But my voice is

739
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 1: so powerful and when I speak that, it's very very touchy.

740
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: It hurt. It hurt feelings in certain ways where like

741
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 1: I said before, I can't be broke. No, my I'm

742
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 1: saying I can't be broke. First, I'm unbreakable. Nobody can

743
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: get you to to me, nobody can hurt my spirit because

744
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: like I said before, I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm a

745
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: proud black man and I got the will to win

746
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: just in life period. So I'm aware whatever, I'm aware whatever,

761
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not telling these these artists or these

762
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: artists or these athletes, you shouldn't be able to do

763
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 1: nothing right. Enjoy enjoy it. That's what you work for.

764
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: You enjoy it. Yeah, absolutely, I'm not. I'm sorry. I

765
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: don't want to move the camera because she I know,

766
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:22,720
Speaker 1: she says, she said me the right way. Do whatever

767
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 1: make you happy, Okay, But I'm just giving you some

768
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 1: pointers and dropping some jews. All these athletes and these

769
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: entertainers and these celebrities. One thing about me, My cars,

770
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: my homes and everything that I do. I own. So

771
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: you could do whatever you want to do. But I'm

772
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,959
Speaker 1: telling you what I do. You know what I choose

773
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 1: to do. Bloyd. I don't know if you know this,

774
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,080
Speaker 1: but they're a wide receiver to play in the NFL.

775
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: I think he played like thirteen fourteen years, Brandon Marshall,

776
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 1: and he says he wants to be heavyweight champ of

777
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 1: the world. Do you think there's a realistic chance that

778
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: a guy that got into the sport of boxing, let's say,

779
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 1: at the age of thirty five, is he from actually

780
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: any from Vegas? No, No, not that Brandon Marshall. Not

781
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: that Brandon Marshall. This Brandon Marshall played wide receiver for

782
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: the Bronco, for the Dolphins, for the Bear. This Brandon

783
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: Marshall is from Florida. The wide receiver. He's about six four,

784
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: about two thirty five. Well with how a heavyweight and well,

785
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: you know the heavyweight division eight like it it was

786
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 1: back in the day. It's not. It's not the same.

787
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: But even though it's not the same. Do you believe

788
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: a man that can get into a sport, a combat

789
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 1: sport like the sport of boxing, at the age of

790
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 1: thirty four thirty five and become a heavyweight champ with

791
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 1: no proud background, you believe the heavyweight division is that diluted?

792
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 1: Any any anything is possible, Anything is possible. If he

793
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 1: believe in itself, then I mean you can't now him,

794
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 1: but you do know Holo answer. Joshua is a gold

795
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 1: super heavyweight Olympian gold medalists. Tyson Fury is six foot

796
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: nine and a half two fifty five, two sixty. That's skilled.

797
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 1: And you believe a guy that has minimal Tyson Tyson

798
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: Theory got he's solid. He got skills. He does He's solid.

799
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:36,919
Speaker 1: He got skills. Deontay Wilder, You didn't mention him? Why

800
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: who Deontay Wilder? Deontay Wilder? He I mean, I mean

801
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: he got bombs. That's why he called himself the Bronze

802
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: the bronze bomber. He got bombs. Now we can't say that,

803
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: but we can we can make it skills a lot better. Well,

804
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 1: while have you reached out about training him? Do you

805
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 1: believe you could train him and get him to be

806
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 1: a Fury, get him to be the Anthony Joshua. Do

807
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: you believe he has the skill? I know he has

808
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:05,240
Speaker 1: the raw power, but does he have the skills? Fury

809
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 1: is skilled, Joshua is skilled. They're technically sound boxers. But

810
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: when shock, when shocking, when equalizer can in the fight? Yes,

811
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: the only thing he did is the basic fundamentals, and

812
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: I could do the rest. I could do the rest,

813
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:27,919
Speaker 1: but flowing what you could do, and you could walk

814
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 1: people into punches, and that would become I can't walk

815
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: people into punches because remember I'm a defensive wizard. Stop stop,

816
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 1: stop stop. I don't want no. You walk people into punches.

817
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: You know that because you catch them, they follow you

818
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: around the ring and take obedi. I remember the Baltimore fight.

819
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 1: The dude threw almost seven hundred punches and land to

820
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,320
Speaker 1: seventy nine. How somebody throws seven hundred punches in the

821
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: last seventy nine, you landed two forty four out of

822
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: four hundred. I can't. Yeah, yeah, I can help him.

823
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: I can. I can really help him. All you gotta

824
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 1: do is I mean, I mean he's with the I

825
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: mean Deontay Water is with us anyway he's putting on

826
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: him in anyway, right, So probably because you just get

827
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 1: U Floyd. Here's the thing. I mean, I look at

828
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 1: Buddy mcgert. Buddy mcgret turned to a great trainer. There.

829
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,120

00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: mean someone said you're the first or second best fighter

835
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: of the twenty first century. Why wouldn't guys come to

836
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:48,080

00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 1: five fighters. Who are Floyd Mayweather's top five fighters? Now

843
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 1: you can go your weight you're smaller guys, or you

844
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 1: can go ahead. I forgot last week. Like I told

00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: you people, every week is different. Who who was my

846
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 1: last five? Who was my fight last? Okay, I know

847
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 1: you get first of all, you left Ali and you

848
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 1: left Ray Robinson. That's why you got the flack. Whoever

849
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: else you put in there is unimportant. You left those

850
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 1: two guys out at the end of the day, Floyd

851
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: Neighwheather is not a follower. I have my own opinion.

852
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 1: This is my This is my opinion, right, this is

853
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: what I think. And there's the reason why. If there's

854
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 1: always a reason why, you know, and I would I

855
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 1: would always I would always love Sugarade Robinson because he

856
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:56,279
Speaker 1: paid the way from Muhammad Ali, Right, you know, I

857
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: would always love Muhammad Ali because he paid the weight

858
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:04,879
Speaker 1: for for sugar Rate Leonard correct, and then Sugary Lenard

859
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: paid the way for a guy like a a Mike

860
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: Tyson and and and so forth. So that's how that's

861
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: how it go. We all paved the way and we

862
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,240
Speaker 1: all got we all we all cared and love one another.

863
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:23,240
Speaker 1: But my opinion and what I think is my opinion

864
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: and what I think. But Floyd, you can understand. Ray

865
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 1: Robinson have one hundred and seventy five wins one hundred

866
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,280
Speaker 1: and nine knockouts. He lost nineteen, he draws six times

867
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: and and and one belt over numerous classes. I'll leave

868
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: go ahead, was numerous because when you say numerous, I

869
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: think about I think about Mini Pack, y'all and Floyd Maywood.

870
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:50,879
Speaker 1: When you say numerous, I would say three. Did he win?

871
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 1: Five like you? Eight? Like packy y'all know? No, No, okay,

00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: but Floyd the guy. But but Harris the thing. When

873
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:00,320
Speaker 1: I look at it, guy, when I look at and

874
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: because your soul, head and shoulders above everybody that you

875
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,880
Speaker 1: fought in your when we say this, we would come

876
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,280
Speaker 1: on record and say this, out of all these guys

877
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 1: in a history of boxing, yes, I've accomplished more than

878
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 1: every fighting in a history of boxing. You mean you

879
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,919
Speaker 1: mean as far as when, as far as undefeated belt,

880
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,320

Speaker 1: and I'll tell you why tell me something. I'll tell

883
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 1: you why. Well, the only guy that retired under that

884
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 1: was undefeated, that was that hadn't taste of defeat when

885
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:39,919
Speaker 1: he retired was Rockey Marciano. Okay, go ahead, how many

886
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:44,959
Speaker 1: worlds champions have Rockey Marcy? In a week? I would

887

Speaker 1: say probably what Archie more of Joe lewis maybe maybe

888
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: three four high end. So so we already known I

889

890
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. And then he beat up,

891
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: then he beat in this career period, so we are

892
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:06,520

00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 1: if even if we both were still forty nine and oh,

927
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: their legs. When they can when they was young. They're young,

928
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: and at the top of the game, they could move

929
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 1: move once their legs went away, then they were they

930
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:26,760

00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 1: any nobody called it the Philly Ship. It's the main

933
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 1: weather defense because, like I said before, I mastered it.

934
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,640

00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 1: I know. Okay, so you gotta respect that. So where

953
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:55,479
Speaker 1: better Duran went from I think lightweight lightweight to watch

954
00:58:55,480 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 1: a weight to to I think to middleweight two hun

955
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: sixty eight, so I think he went to four. He

956
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: went somewhere like four away glass two. Yeah, I think

957
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:07,840

958
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 1: at one sixty thing, and you know he won world

959
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 1: titles in all the way, and I mean he got

960
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:18,080

00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 1: or five. Oh, Duran Durand had dynamite. So what about

963
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 1: Marvin Hagler? But that was the golden era? That was?

964
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 1: That was okay, okay, give me your golden era of boxing.

Speaker 1: Then explained, like what do you I mean the best,

966
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: the best era of boxing in the history of the

967
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 1: sport was what a decade maybe the seventies. You maybe

968

975
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:04,479

976
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Holmes get the credit that he deserved. I have no

977
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 1: idea because that job. Why if you tell me you

978
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 1: to box the next Bert, why doesn't Larry Holmes get

979
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 1: It's crazy that I'd be hearing all these quote unquote

980
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: so called boxing experts, and I've been doing this. I've

981
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: been I know about the sport from from the beginning

982
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: to now. You know, is it? Is it? Because if

983
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 1: we look at all that I mean, Ali fought, as

984
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 1: you mentioned, he fought Ken Norton three times. He fought

985
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 1: Joe Frazier, he fought Joe Fraser, he fought Joey Farmer.

986
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: I'm want to say this Okay. Ali will always be

987
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 1: a pioneer because of what he stood for, you know,

988
01:00:56,440 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 1: in that era. Okay, and I commend him for that.

989
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 1: And I would have done this, done the same thing

990
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 1: if I was in that air. He done what he's

991
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 1: supposed to do. In that air. We're asked, I think

992
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 1: in that era, still we were more. We would stick together.

993
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: We asked we would stick together because you will see

994
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 1: Muhammad Ali with Will Chamberlain, you know, and you don't

995
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 1: remember the summit that they had in fixed with Ali

996
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:37,439
Speaker 1: with Alili, Will Chamberlain, Jim Brown, Green, Bill russells Well,

997
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:40,320

01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 1: many of us the jealousy, Like it's so much jealousy

1002
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 1: going on now. Like I said, you're talking about and

1003
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: within the black community, or you're talking about boxing specifically,

1014
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 1: Larry Holmes and the sense of that is side Clone,

1015
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 1: the Hulk, Aaron Pryor, who is my who is my father? Again? Uh, listen,

1016
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,440
Speaker 1: but I ain't really gotta save myself because y'all listen,

1017
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 1: you you ain't gonna put me on the top five

1018
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 1: because everybody already know I'm on the top five, Okay,

1019
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 1: so put me on that. So in other words, we

1020
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 1: gotta come up with four because you're gonna be at

1021
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 1: everybody's top five. Got to be, got to be. But

1022
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Pryor, Aaron Pryor, he did carry Alexis arcul No,

1023
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 1: that's who. That's who. Sugar Ray Lenna, No, that's who.

1024
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: That's who. Sugary Lenard was ducking man. Sugar Red wasn't No.

1025
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Pride man sugar Red with carry their pride? Are

1026
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 1: you gonna do your homework? See that's what you don't know,

1027
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 1: that behind the scenes stuff. And you know, I love

1028
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 1: and I love and I love sugar Na. But he

1029
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 1: did you hold on? Aaron Pryor did not have dynamite

1030
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 1: in his hands like hit Man Herns, and he carried

1031
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 1: hit Man Herns. Hold on. The reason why Tommy Hearns

1032
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:49,160
Speaker 1: didn't go to the Olympics was because he got beat

1033
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 1: by who Aaron Pryor man. Hold hold on? You do know?

1034
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 1: Hold on amateurs? Like you said, the guy that beat

1035
01:03:57,400 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 1: you in the Olympics is not living on a pitch.

1036
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:02,479
Speaker 1: And I'm getting four hundred and thirty thirty five dollars

1037
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 1: a month, so you Floyd, don't do that. You know,

1038
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:09,880
Speaker 1: Olympic boxing pro fighting is different. Sit again, I say,

1039
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, Olympic style boxing different than pro fighting because,

1040
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 1: as you say, it's a point system and a lot

1041
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 1: of times, you know, things get missed. So the guy

1042
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 1: that beat you in the Olympics, because the scoring system

1043
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 1: when I was fighting, and when the scoring system when

1044
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 1: uh the guys from the ages was fighting, it's totally different.

1045
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 1: Actually that was a seventy That was a seventy six

1046
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 1: Olympic team. Yeah. Yes, So the reason why Tommy Hearns

1047
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:42,919
Speaker 1: didn't go to the Olympics was because he got beat

1048
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:46,440
Speaker 1: by and prior. Yes, but I get I get that.

1049
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:50,560
Speaker 1: But I'm saying Olympic boxing and pro boxing is something

1050
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 1: entirely different and it can be a great. You could

1051
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:56,960
Speaker 1: be a great Olympics and not a great defeated as

1052
01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:01,440
Speaker 1: a professional. Do you believe Aaron Pride could as a pro?

1053
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 1: Do you believe Aaron Pride could have beat Tommy Hurns

1054
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:09,360
Speaker 1: as a pro? Anything can happen, Man, don't do that

1055
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 1: floor now I know anything can happened. We put man

1056
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 1: on the moon. I asked you a simple question, a

1057
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 1: simple yes or a simple no. Do you believe the

1058
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 1: Hawk Aaron Pride could have beat Tommy Hurns as a pro? Absolutely? Man,

1059
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 1: you ought to be a share because because of the pressure.

1060
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 1: Because the hawk keep the pressure and he's telling you.

1061
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 1: And one thing about even like when Sugar Ray Leonard,

1062
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 1: when Sugary Leonard beat Tommy Hurns first fourteen when he

1063
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 1: beat him with him was at eighty one to eighty

1064
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 1: eighty one. Okay, So like I said, before you know,

1065
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 1: I know this sport. He he beat him with him.

1066
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:46,960
Speaker 1: He beat him because of the pressure. He bought him

1067
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 1: down with pressure. He was a fatigued fighter. He beat

1068
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:54,919
Speaker 1: him with pressure. Yeah, I didn't. I didn't. I took

1069
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 1: Sugar Ray. But I was worried because I've seen because

1070
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 1: I knew the kind of the kind of died that

1071
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 1: Tommy Hurns had in that right hand. Tommy one of

1072
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: my favorite fighters. What about what about Marvin Hagler. I

1073
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 1: can remember when Tommy Hurts picked me up when I

1074
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:12,280
Speaker 1: was five years old, one of my one of my

1075
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 1: favorite fighters. It was hard in that air. It was

1076
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 1: hard because I ran Barkley hood On, because of the

1077
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 1: three in that area. Because of the three, it was

1078
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 1: hard for me. I love Marvin Hagler, I love Sugarade Leonard,

1079
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:29,920
Speaker 1: and I love Tommy Haynes. So when those when they

1080
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 1: fight against each other, I didn't really know who I

1081
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 1: wanted to I didn't know who I want to pick.

1082
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 1: And Durand and Durran within the eighties he was but

1083
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm talking about it. Oh, out of those three guys,

1084
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 1: even you could put the Ran because he was a

1085
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:45,760
Speaker 1: part of that that Fatinist sport because he's a part

1086
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 1: of the Faminist sport. But Tommy Haynes Sugarade Leonard Marvin

1087
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 1: Hackler when they fought, I hated that they had to

1088
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 1: fight each other. So when when, So when I look

1089
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 1: at the Shigarade Leonard fight in the Haggler fight, sometimes

1090
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:05,360
Speaker 1: some days I say Leonard one, some days I say

1091
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 1: Hackler one. Right, Floyd Mayweather, it is prime. He's fighting

1092
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:16,400
Speaker 1: Margaret Marvin Haggling, his prime Sugar Rand, his prime Herns

1093
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 1: and his prime Durand and his prime who wins. I

1094
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:22,240
Speaker 1: gotta tell you how. I gotta tell you how I

1095
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:25,040
Speaker 1: would fight these guys. So you tell about how I

1096
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 1: would fight, uh sugar and Leonard Sugar Sugary Leonard got

1097
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 1: a lot of speed, but sugar rate. When when Sugary

1098
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 1: Leonard beat my my father, When he beat my dad,

1099
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 1: my dad went into the fight with a with a

1100
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 1: messed up hand. But you know, you know, even though

1101
01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: he had a messed up hand, you still gotta put

1102
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:54,480
Speaker 1: food on the table. Right, So how I would approach

1103
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 1: the sugar rate Leonard fight. I'll come out and fill

1104
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:02,320
Speaker 1: him up. You know the thing is this, we know

1105
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 1: he got he got speed and I got speed, okay, right,

1106
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 1: but he don't got time in like me. There's a difference.

1107
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 1: He don't got time in like Floyd and name right,

1108
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:20,599
Speaker 1: and she read Leonard. I'm a counterpuncher. Also, I could

1109
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 1: be a counterpuncher. I'm versatile all around the board. To

1110
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 1: where ass do? I think it would be a very

1111
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:32,360
Speaker 1: a very exciting to fight. Absolutely, but I think that

1112
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 1: his shots, his punchers come to wide. I'm sure everything

1113
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 1: short and short, whereas Spanish fighters is more, go go

1114
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 1: more with wider shots. She read Leonard super fast fighter,

1115
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 1: super good, super good, crazy leg movement. How do you fight?

1116
01:08:55,040 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 1: How do you fight? Marvin Hagler? Uh, Marvin Hagler, He's

1117
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 1: not on a pivot, He's not He's not on a pivot.

1118
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 1: He's not on a pivot. So what I what I

1119
01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 1: use is all I use is is a is a

1120
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 1: range fight, arrange fighting and in different shots. Because Marvin Halet,

1121
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 1: Marvin Hamlet kind of remind me of a Miguel Koda.

1122
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:23,920
Speaker 1: So you know what I do is he does a

1123
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:27,280
Speaker 1: lot Marvin Hadley did a lot of bells, and in

1124
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 1: Miguel Koda is more like this too, not like this

1125
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 1: in Pakil. He does it in a fans way like this,

1126
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 1: so he does well. That's what got packy. I got

1127
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 1: knocked out. But Pakia is always on rhythm and Markuev

1128
01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 1: called him he timed him because Pati does. He loves

1129
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:45,840
Speaker 1: a lot of different proles and mark V timing in inches,

1130
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 1: in timing is very important. Yes, anything even like in football,

1131
01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 1: but it's basketball, anything in life, it's about timing and inches.

1132
01:09:56,040 --> 01:10:04,880
Speaker 1: So uh, Marvin Hagler, tough, tough, Okay, I bought about

1133
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 1: your top five guy, Roberto de Ran. How you fighting him?

1134
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 1: Uh huh. I gotta be at my best, but I

1135
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:18,880
Speaker 1: gotta be at my best. You got the ultimate respect

1136
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 1: for d Ran because because that man is tough, and

1137
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:24,120
Speaker 1: then come from lightweight and he come up and fight

1138
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:27,679
Speaker 1: Marvin hadlet he fight him all and he was world

1139
01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 1: champion of all of those different weight classes. That's not easy.

1140
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:35,920
Speaker 1: I'm a fighter. I know it was easy for me. Nah, Floyd,

1141
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 1: hold on, Floyd, you came up for what you came

1142
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:44,040
Speaker 1: up from one thirty to one. Actually, actually I was

1143
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:47,080
Speaker 1: playing an Olympic. I was fighting on twenty five at

1144
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 1: fifty seven kilo Grahams, which international is one twenty five

1145
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 1: and a half. But you're fighting in the US, that's

1146
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 1: one twenty five. So it's safe to say I was

1147
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 1: fighting at one twenty five to one thirty, one thirty five,

1148
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:06,800
Speaker 1: one forty seven, forty seven. Yeah, I wouldn't fought a

Speaker 1: waited one hundred and fifty four pounds when I was fighting, right,

1151
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:14,640

01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:15,720
Speaker 1: the who we've been seeing you? You play little basketball

1183
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 1: Lebron James or Michael Jordan. I think the Eric. Let

1184
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:30,080
Speaker 1: me say this Okay, now I'm gonna I'm gonna give

1185
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 1: you a break now, Okay, Okay. I love Lebron, right, yeah,

1186
01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:40,559
Speaker 1: but one thing about Michael Jordan's he gonna come out

1187
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:45,880
Speaker 1: there every night to try to kill you every night,

1188
01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 1: right Lebron, he seemed like he's kind of playing kind

1189
01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 1: of nonchalant sometimes, which I don't like. But Michael, I

1190
01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:04,800
Speaker 1: mean Lebron James. I'm gonna I'm gonna choose. If they

1191
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:08,479
Speaker 1: played against each other, Lebron James two is two being

1192
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:11,600
Speaker 1: a struggle and two fast. But if I had to

1193
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 1: choose one, I'm gonna choose Michael Jordan because didn't. The

1194
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 1: reason why it is because I gotta go with somebody

1195
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:20,200
Speaker 1: that's gonna go out there and give it they all

1196
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:24,760
Speaker 1: every night. Well maybe Lebron. Maybe Lebron is giving it

1197
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:26,960
Speaker 1: his all. He just making it look easy, making it

1198
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:31,320
Speaker 1: look a lot. No, it's not when you make hold

1199
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 1: on hold on flowing. That's what people said about you.

1200
01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 1: You made it look so easy that to make it

1201
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 1: thing like you wouldn't even tren like you were fighting bombs. Now,

1202
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:41,400
Speaker 1: it's not that. Because I told him there's a different

1203
01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:46,280
Speaker 1: there's a different being talented and God gifted. You know

1204
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 1: I'm God gifted. So at the end of the day,

1205
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 1: this is the reason why every time might go out there,

1206
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:57,120
Speaker 1: every time Lebron when the clock is ticking, Lebron was

1207
01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:59,800
Speaker 1: supposed to pass it. He's supposed to shoot it, and

1208
01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:06,880
Speaker 1: you gotta make the right play. Guess what what, Lebron

1209
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 1: James is selling shoes not because he's passing the ball,

1210
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:12,800
Speaker 1: because he's going for it, because because he's supposed to

1211
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:18,320
Speaker 1: go for the kill. Look here, everything, Floyd, this is

1212
01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:19,560
Speaker 1: what see. This is where you and I and a

1213
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:24,439
Speaker 1: lot of people disagree. We're gonna We're gonna agree to disagree.

1214
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:27,240
Speaker 1: Come on, let's talk. Let's talk about this. Come on, okay,

1215
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:29,439
Speaker 1: I want to because I believe if you make the

1216
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 1: right play, the right play if I okay, so if

1217
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 1: I could pass the ball to a guy. You remember

1218
01:15:35,439 --> 01:15:37,360
Speaker 1: that double nickel game Michael Jordan. I think it was

1219
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:39,320
Speaker 1: like five or six days after he come back out

1220
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:42,280
Speaker 1: of retirement. He had a double nickel game. He had

1221
01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:45,080
Speaker 1: it going, but the game winning shot came on a

1222
01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 1: path from Michael and will mean I have seen Michael

1223
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 1: Jordan passes to Steve kurt I. I'm not saying. I'm

1224
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:56,559
Speaker 1: not saying Lebron gotta take every shot. Yeah, I ain't

1225
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:58,599
Speaker 1: saying you gotta be a Kobe Bryant. I ain't say

1226
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:02,559
Speaker 1: he gotta take every shot, but it's it's certain. I mean,

1227
01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:07,120
Speaker 1: I'd like to see I brother family drop. Even if

1228
01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:08,760
Speaker 1: you don't, if you don't fly, you're gonna make it

1229
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:14,080
Speaker 1: at least attacked the basket at least because we know

1230
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 1: you super struggle, right. But but I mean, that's just me.

1231
01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:24,880
Speaker 1: I got to kill an instant in me. That's why.

1232
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:27,000
Speaker 1: That's why I'm fifty. I'm fifty and oh for a reason.

1233
01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:29,800
Speaker 1: And even right right like right now, they got a

1234
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,559
Speaker 1: fighter that's over in Asia that's fifty four and oh

1235
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 1: and they said, oh, this is a new TV because

1236
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:37,320
Speaker 1: he's about to retire. I said, oh, y'all, tell me

1237
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:40,760
Speaker 1: about this fighter that fought one world champion and he's

1240
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 1: And this is what you're trying to call it. T D.

1241
01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:54,559
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, y'all, y'all some comedians, Yeah, okay, let

1242
01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:57,920
Speaker 1: me ask you this, what basketball player or football player

1243
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 1: you think currently playing in would have been a great boxer.

1244
01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler, Jimmy Jimmy, Jimmy Butler probably could Jimmy Butler

1245
01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:15,720
Speaker 1: probably be a good boxer. Lebron Ja Lebron Jack would

1246
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:19,519
Speaker 1: have been a good boxer. Why could be tall? No, no, no,

1247
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:21,840
Speaker 1: he could have been a good boxer. Just excuse just

1248
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 1: said he didn't have had a killer anything. Now you're

1249
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:26,880
Speaker 1: talking about he gonna be a good boxer. But guess

1250
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:29,600
Speaker 1: what what Every fighter don't gotta kill an instant. They

1251
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:33,280
Speaker 1: don't mean name a champion. Oh so now now you

1252
01:17:33,320 --> 01:17:35,559
Speaker 1: won't flip that because Jordan had to kill it his thing.

1253
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:37,800
Speaker 1: That's why you're gonna take him over Lebron. But now

1254
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:39,720
Speaker 1: you don't really need that in boxing, because you could

1255
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:41,519
Speaker 1: still be a champions. You just said who I said

1256
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:43,720
Speaker 1: they can be a good fighter. You didn't say every

1257
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:49,639
Speaker 1: fighter that could be a world who huddle. You said

1258
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:52,120
Speaker 1: be a good You said good, be a good A

1259
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 1: good boxer, was a champion fighter? Who can be a

1260
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:58,439
Speaker 1: champion fighter? Now you see now you now telling you

1261
01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 1: just swished up on me. Tell of first you can

1262
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:04,439
Speaker 1: be a boxer. That you're right? I said, because anybody

1263
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:06,080
Speaker 1: can be a boxer, but I'll tell me to be

1264
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:14,639
Speaker 1: a champion. Man. They got so many, they got so many.

1265
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:24,120
Speaker 1: I think Charles Oakley's ugly tough. Yeah, that's that's what

1266
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 1: he That's Michael Jordan o key security for Really, this

1269
01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:41,559
Speaker 1: some boys that can go a little bit. What about

01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:47,760

Speaker 1: lot of football players, Floyd. That's what I tell you.

1272
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:53,080
Speaker 1: I said, you don't understand the difference between mindset between

1273
01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:58,280
Speaker 1: a football player and a basketball player. It is totally different. Yeah. Man,

1274
01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:04,280
Speaker 1: It's just see if I if Lebron was hanging around me,

1275
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:07,760
Speaker 1: if Lebron, Lebron you supposed to hanging around me from

1276
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:09,759

1282
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:33,000
Speaker 1: Thomas was playing when he was when he was communicating

1283

1303
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:43,000

1304
01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:44,960
Speaker 1: drag him to the deep and drowning. Because that's what

1305
01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:50,400
Speaker 1: you did. That's something gonna do, you know. I bet

1306
01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:52,800
Speaker 1: Dana White. I bet Dana White some high end liquor

1307
01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:55,719
Speaker 1: that Connor couldn't knock you out because he said, Connor.

1308
01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:58,479
Speaker 1: Because you see Connor knocking people out with those four

1309
01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:00,320
Speaker 1: arms gloves, I said, But he don't know how to

1310
01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:03,320

1315
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:32,320

1316
01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:36,200
Speaker 1: so you wouldn't So you wouldn't fight Carnerger. Let me

1317
01:21:36,240 --> 01:21:40,280
Speaker 1: ask your question. Is there any boxer that you would fight,

1318
01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:44,480
Speaker 1: say for one hundred and fifty million? Not enough? Absolutely

1319

1322
01:21:57,320 --> 01:22:00,160
Speaker 1: you flush with that upper cut and you walked through it.

1323
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:03,360
Speaker 1: You never saw that punch. Normally, it's the punches you

1324
01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:06,040
Speaker 1: don't see to get you out of there, hit flush

1325
01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:11,720
Speaker 1: and you walk through it. I don't remember it. I'm

1326
01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:13,880
Speaker 1: having fun. I'm like I was like, oh man, it's

1327
01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:19,720
Speaker 1: dudu stop. I said, it's cool. Blow. It seemed like

1328
01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:22,120
Speaker 1: you were because they're paying the camera on you, and

1329
01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:24,559
Speaker 1: you turned and smiled at the camera. Do you remember

1330
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:27,519
Speaker 1: that when I was in the corner. Yeah, you know

1331
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:30,280
Speaker 1: why I remember that? You can I ain't take no punches,

1332
01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:32,240
Speaker 1: but I still got all my faculties. So that was

1333
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:34,800
Speaker 1: so great about my career. So why would I go

1334
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:38,000
Speaker 1: out there and fight these these young fighters, these young lions,

1335
01:22:38,680 --> 01:22:41,960
Speaker 1: and risk my health? Right? You know, you look at

1336
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:44,680
Speaker 1: my uncle Roger, you look at Muhammad Ali, you look

1337
01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:47,920

1342
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 1: an experience and could be hu you fight, could be absolutely.

1343
01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:13,960
Speaker 1: You know, those are three hundred maie dollars fights. See,
