Some stuff from the interview for those that don't want to watch this:
-Cleared from the Cleveland Clinic to resume all activities in training except sparring since he lost a couple of teeth and a post needs to be removed so he can get inserted replacement teeth. Then he will be able to begin sparring.
-Suffered no fractures or broken bones and not having a seat belt saved his life. Does not remember anything from the crash and only remembers waking up at the hospital....Actually really only remembers coming home three weeks later.
-Got up to 189 before the Porter fight and wants to make sure that doesn't happen again. Is running 3-5 miles a day before training and keeping his weight in tact.
-Has options for his next fight, says everyone wants the cash cow in Pacquiao but he also wants to fight DSG and Crawford.
-If he fought Floyd, he would just target the body and just try to break him down that way since you can't get clean shots on him to the head.
-Respects Crawford since they face timed each other and came to a mutual agreement. Respects DSG and Pacquiao but not Thurman lol.
-Says he thought he was going to return in August but looks like October or November now because of the Pandemic.
Asked if there was a three fight deal with money being perfect who his opponents would be: Pacquiao, Crawford and DSG.
-Has no favorite boxing movie and hates Rocky it is so fake. Said if his coach told him to chase chickens inside the ring, he will tell him I will see you tomorrow LOL.
-Not snacking on anything right now even during quarantine and is completely locked in. Just staying home and trying to stay away from temptations so he's not going to anyone's house and not eating anything he shouldn't be eating.
-Doesn't care one bit about fighting in an empty arena as long as the check is the same.
-Gets a bunch of social media hate from people talking about the car accident and just a bunch of haters but doesn't care to respond to none of them and will only respond to people like Crawford since that builds up the fight and makes them money.
-Was going down a bad road even before the accident and was taking everything for granted and that accident was the wake up call he needed. Said his in ring performances were being affected and never again will he take anything for granted.
Solid interview, Barnes/Jack the best in the business.
