00:12essentially the pound for pound

00:14king of boxing. I mean, the

00:15money he's made and the life he

00:32literally he's Apollo Green. It

00:35is literally Apollo Green. Um

00:38are you are you surprised that

00:41he's gone from where he went to

00:43where he is now? Well, yeah,

00:44you know, it's funny. I

00:45remember when when we were at

00:47Golden Boy, we we brought him

00:48up from Mexico. He was already

00:50a kind of a a phenom in Mexico

00:52as a young kid, teenager and he

00:55came up in his first fight was

00:57in the third round here in LA.

00:59He was on the undercard of I

01:00think it was a Bernard Hopkins

01:02fight and um he got he he

01:05fought Miguel Cotto's cousin

01:06and got buzzed in the third

01:08round and I thought uh and then

01:09he came back and whooped his

01:11**** So, I've I've seen his

01:12whole career. I think it's he's

01:14an you know, he's an amazing

01:15fighter. He's an amazing man.

01:16He's a really good guy. Yeah.

01:18And he's an amazing fighter and

01:19he definitely is going to go

01:20down as one of the best. I

01:21think it's a great opportunity

01:22for fans out there to check him

01:23out. He's not going to be

01:24around forever. So, you know,

01:26Roy Jones was better than him

01:28and I said, I don't know about

01:30that. Uh you know, look at it

01:32for my money. Canelo is it's

01:34hard to compare. It's hard to

01:36compare guys in different eras

01:37and Roy Jones was a hell of a

01:39fighter. Bernard Hopkins was it

01:40was a hell of a fighter. It was

01:41more of a talker. A lot of

01:43those guys in that week. Have

01:44you met anyone that talks more

01:45than I mean, I'm painful but

01:47there's no one that talks more

01:48than Bernard. No, no, no one.

01:50No, he's, you know, he needs to

01:51find a way to make a living by

01:53doing that.
