    Were you interviewing Mayweather when he was hyping a fight because it seems like he has two different personalities, he looks so fake at times
    About the documentary, it was an amazing piece done by my journalistic hero Jack Newfield. Newfield is a real icon in journalism, I just hope one day to get on his level even if our styles are very different.

    As far as Mayweather, it was at the Mayweather-DLH presser in New York City and he was in full public persona.

        man your lucky, it would be such an honour to talk to joe. he in my opinion was one of the greatest if not THE greatest pressure fighter ever, never stopped coming forward. He had the best left hook ever and the heart of a true champion.

        I heard that he has a gym in philly somewhere, is that true?

          Absolutely. Everybody knows Joe's gym in Philly, it's the stuff of legend.

          Meldrick Taylor and Bernard Hopkins both trained there on occasion, and it serves as a great outlet for the downtrodden youth of Northern Philly.

          I wanted to train there myself when I was a child, but my parents wouldn't let me because I was too young.

          By the time I got old enough, we'd already moved away from Philly.

            Can remember watching Joe agaist his namesake Bugner at Earls Court in 73.. Uncharacteristicly, Bugner fought to his potential that night & gave Joe a run for his money.. Sure Joe would admit that himself.. Thoroughly enjoyed the privilage of seeing him live.. A legend for sure! Great pic of him & Ali as they are now..

            Respect to BRINGER (keep up the good work man)

                Thanks bro. I want to put it in Boxing Digest magazine but I've already committed to an Oscar de la Hoya article for next month's issue. I have another magazine that I'm going to pitch it for, but it'll land in print somewhere.

                As far as luck, man it's got nothing to do with luck. I tell everyone in the forums that I came from the same forums as them, I just dedicated myself enough to learn my craft over the years and go out and make my dreams come true. There are a lot of people in these forums with good writing talent, they just have to go out and make it happen.
                I commend that. That's real talk. Good luck with everything in the future bro.

                    OK here's the plan, I'm speaking with the editor of Boxing Digest next week about putting the Frazier piece in the next article. The Oscar de la Hoya article I am working on will run in July's edition, which is being wrapped up next week and my Roy Jones article is coming up in next month's edition. This month's edition has my Keith Thurman article in it so it looks like I'll have a four month run where I have an article in each edition.
