00:00Man, did I have a fun night

00:01Saturday night watching that boxing. God, it was

00:04good. That Terrence

00:06Crawford, dude, he's so good.

00:08I was just, I

00:09really just, you know, you always say

00:12appreciate greatness. He's so

00:13great. He's so great. Like when

00:16the guy who has pretty

00:18much beat everybody standing in front

00:19of him can't get a hand on

00:22him. And

00:24we've now said this

00:25about two guys.

00:28Errol Spence. And we kind

00:30of know what Errol Spence went

00:31through, you know, with the accident

00:34or whatever.

00:35Errol Spence went through a lot, but he was still, I mean, still Errol Spence.

00:38Right. But

00:39to say Errol Spence

00:41and what he

00:43did to Canelo with

00:45two guys who

00:47could not touch him.

00:50It's, he's a bigger

00:51Floyd Mayweather. It's crazy.

00:54He's so tactical

00:55and he picks his point and

00:57it's funny because we were talking

00:58yesterday and I

01:00said, he does this

01:01thing where for like three

01:03or four rounds,

01:04he doesn't really do much

01:06or anything. It's almost

01:07like he's plotting his

01:08course. And then you come out

01:10for like the middle to

01:11the end of the thing. And

01:12it's like, oh,

01:13here he is.

01:15Well, here's the thing I would say

01:16it's different with him and

01:16Floyd. And this is, and

01:18this is interesting because Canelo

01:19said after the fight, he was

01:20asked specifically, he said,

01:21who's better.

01:22And he said, Terrence

01:24Crawford's way better than

01:25Floyd Mayweather.

01:26And I was like, whoa,

01:28that's something because

01:30Terrence didn't exactly give

01:31Canelo his flowers.

01:32He said like some lightweight

01:33back a few fights, uh, was

01:36a, was a harder puncher than

01:37Canelo Alvarez. Now Canelo

01:38to his credit, he's just like,

01:39I didn't even hit him clean.

01:40Like that's part of it.

01:41Right. Um, but

01:43Canelo's like, Terrence

01:44Crawford's way better.

01:45And I thought about this

01:47afterwards and I don't know

01:48what the answer to that is

01:49because obviously Floyd is

01:50great, but I will tell you

01:52there's a couple of things.

01:54One, the big difference that

01:57Floyd will always have is

01:58Floyd got out away from Bob

02:01Arum and top rank and was

02:02able to do things from a

02:04money standpoint, uh, that

02:06gave him a freedom and put

02:07himself on a different

02:08pedestal than Terrence

02:10Crawford was ever able to.

02:11He was a little bit in this

02:12promotional fog for so many

02:14times and he just couldn't

02:15take on the best guys in the

02:17world because all the

02:17welterweights and all the

02:19light, which were kind of

02:20box into another promotion.

02:21So that really slowed a lot

02:23of his exposure, basically

02:24the Tyson thing with Tyson

02:25was talking about as far as

02:27right clicks and making money

02:30and it wasn't about box, but

02:32I'll tell you this, dude, he's

02:34undisputed in three different

02:36weight classes and he went up

02:37to one 68 that needs to be

02:41like in history.

02:43Floyd's great.

02:44I'm not taking anything away

02:45from Floyd's greatness.

02:46Okay.

02:47And even Terrence didn't want

02:48to do that.

02:48He said, flow, give me the

02:49grace in his, but I'm telling

02:51you right now, what he did

02:54was so impressive to go from

02:57a guy at one 40 up to one 68

03:02at one little one 54 fight.

03:04And by the way, not against

03:04the bum took out Madrimov to

03:06do that, man, that's, that's

03:10something that, and he's, and

03:12he is, that dude's a shark

03:14like Floyd, he'll embarrass

03:15you.

03:16He'll make you look stupid in

03:17a fight, but he ain't a shark

03:18when he comes into the ring.

03:20Like Terrence Crawford's coming

03:22to hurt you.

03:23And I think, I think that's

03:25just, just for me.

03:28No, I think that's, I think

03:30that's a separator for me.

03:31I can't disagree.

03:32I would, I would say like, and

03:36here's, you think he'll go

03:38back down?

03:40He said he didn't go for one

03:41before.

03:42He said he's not doing well.

03:44I kind of feel like he's going

03:45to rematch it and call it a

03:47career.

03:48That's what I think.

03:48My thing is, because remember

03:49Roy Jones was one of the best

03:52boxers I ever saw.

03:54And he went up.

03:56Yep.

03:56And the worst thing that

03:57happened was he won the

03:58heavyweight.

03:59It was light heavyweight.

04:00Or was it heavyweight or light?

04:01No, he won the heavyweight.

04:02And then he, and then he,

04:03and then he went back down

04:05and he never looked the same.

04:07Nope.

04:07And, and that's, that's what

04:09I'm, that's, I'm wondering

04:10if something like that could

04:13happen.

04:13Because if it, if that didn't

04:14happen, then I would say,

04:16oh my goodness.

04:18Because I thought when, when

04:20Roy Jones went up and wait

04:22and won the heavyweight

04:23championship, I was like,

04:25holy smokes, what do we have

04:27here?

04:27Then he went back down.

04:29Dude was never the same.

04:31I had a, I, it was, I was

04:32just very impressed with

04:33him.
