Rio Ferdinand sat down with Floyd Mayweather back in 2017 before the fight with Conor McGregor had even been agreed.
The two discussed Money's favourite boxing prospects, the suicide of a close friend just before a fight, Conor McGregor and who he thinks could be the toughest opponent he's faced.

Great interview. Love seeing a humble Floyd. But it's also the interviewers job as to which side of the person he wants to bring out and Rio did a good job letting Floyd describe himself as opposed to butting in like a lot of our American journalists do. I think a Graham (forgot his last name) interview with Floyd would be great as well..

Gervonta is a punk, there is no comparison to Tyson whatsoever for me. Tyson lost his mentor and still overcame unbelievable odds .. Gervonta has a whole team behind him, and still can’t maintain his behavior, he wouldn’t be anybody w/o Floyd. He has a bright future if he can get his act together , but he will never surpass Floyd, Floyd came up at the perfect time, when 130-154 divisions were stacked with legends, and he beat them all .

@itsampofcourse 4 жыл бұрын

He clearly, clearly, has slight brain damage. Just look at his earlier interviews and compare him to his current ones. Thing is that he trained himself (or was trained) to be able to monetize everything he does and that's why he seems stuck on repeat - it's a combination of his slight brain damage and his mental monetary conditioning.
