    English is my first language and I naturally sound a bit moody/laid back when i speak but I can also speak French, Hebrew and some Korean and people say i sound like a different person in those languages in terms of my mood but it's not something i'm aware of.

    I do think GGG is probably a friendly guy but part of it was probably public image. Let's be fair, HBO had Pacquiao looking like this smiling happy-go-lucky guy that was a monster when the bell ring, when in reality he seems a bit of a d1ck that impregnates hookers, calls for the death of drug users and says gays are worse than animals. I quite like Manny in some ways but i always saw through his persona too.

    I'm sure they wanted that kind of image for GGG too.
    Good post, man. Green sent.

      When some people translated interviews from his native tongue he came across as a massive *******.

        GGG looks tired, while Raheem looks like a smiling crack addict just like Pharrell in his Happy song...
        This seemed like a bad moment to be interviewing GGG...
        OP is trying to create fake Drama, this thread is pointless.

          The interviews are a bore and GGG couldn't give a damn about promo clips. He is an old school fighter who doesn't cuss and act like a clown when a camera is pointed at him. He's an adult!
          (same as Canelo)

          Let clowns act like clowns, theres tons of them in boxing now!

          Amen, my thoughts from the clip as well!

                he came across as being very humble

                radio rahim was asking his usual long winded questions which is ill-advised to someone who doesnt speak great english

                which reminds me of this classic clip:

                  LOL @ when they asked him about Ward offering him a fight and him ducking it

                  "I don't want to talk about him, I won't say anything about him"

                  If that's not ducking I don't know what is

                  But everyone's scared of this guy, right

                  And I don't want to see anyone making excuses like "Ward's too big" he was 1 weight class bigger and Canelo just moved up to 160 very recently and is now fighting GGG. Some guys move up 3 weight divisions or more in their careers, and he can't even go up 1? I hope Canelo beats him partly for this reason.

                    What in the F was so disrespectful about this? I'm not about to watch a 9 minute interview to find the disrespectful part.

                    And Radio Raheem seems like he's always in a good mood. I like that dude, seems like a good guy.

                      I like this YT guy, he is a rare kind of a genunie guy among black boxing fans. Take him as and example pls, he doesn't hate GGG just bcz he is not black and KOing ppl including blacks. We call it racism.
