It's great to hook up an old -- let's -- Sugar Ray Leonard we worked together for ten long years been through a lot of stuff together I didn't want to tell what story about. -- -- Where Atlanta was well we're -- And I could tell us. Legal whereas legal everywhere in London and Andre Agassi were just about the same size who -- defensive. He was wearing mink -- had sixteen boots. -- -- I mean he looked great as that I got to put into that. As -- but the big about I would like my mother on Yom Kippur. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- It terrible where chopping him and when you brought the store I've obviously. The run a good -- that's what we are relatively. You know I do wanna talk about you define the two more -- you're good friends -- -- once described. As a warrior I think it's an apt description at least -- fighters today. I. Necessarily. Actually believe that you've seen more business and make these kind of decisions. That enabled them to get the most about putting up animals. You know unfortunately. Different eras have. They're variety of talent mean back in the day but at least that was just an abundance of talent. Good fighters in there as quickly witnesses. There was not one guy who dominated -- -- like 234 guys. And those types of changes forced. I think -- too but I I think even be because they even more so. You fought everybody Mohammed Ali fought everybody Larry Holmes fought everybody Marvin Hagler fought everybody nobody ducked anybody but what we see now is maybe once every 23 years as a mega fight comes want him but he course begging for. For Pacquiao and Mayweather but it just doesn't happen often enough and as a result of that I don't think people's legacy was that is going to be like yours. You know. I just feel that. Reason that mixed -- Yes. This. Is because they've had do we used to promote old house -- -- -- fight the best out there. Case if it's changed at one loss 11 upon our record. Who fought the best. That's not the case. You know they always say that it used to this kind of like -- that is never conundrum until I lose there's nothing embarrassing about losing boxing. There is. Back in -- guys balls fights most grateful they come back strong a smart a lot more experience and that's why I never thought about losing to rain and I'm sure it's possible but being a little bit too. Too analytical with Floyd Mayweather really ever get his just -- Mayweather it's amazing. Very tough extremely testify. Will just do. Not totally I think that that fight the public the public pains. Yeah me and I hope we -- hopes. One of the greatest regrets about that I'm really proud to call for a regular. --
