Someone will say some shit.

I'm going to fuck you.

Or like, what happened to Mike Tyson?

Say, I'm going to eat your children and stuff like that.

And then, boom, you know, it will happen.

He wouldn't eat the children, but he'll knock you out in the first couple rounds.

Or bite your ear off.

And, you know, now it seems like everything's a little bit more censored.

And you can't have that in boxing, though.

Boxing still, to this day, if you go on Google, if you go on any other search, if you look at the top number one or toughest sports in the world, boxing is number one.

think it's the toughest sport in the world yeah because it's although it's only your hands you're using your legs and it's the mentality part of it the mental strength you have to have i mean i think um ryan garcia could really even tap in on this because he was at a point where a lot of things came to him quickly you know and it can either make you or break you you know what i'm saying yeah

Yeah, we lose, I would think, about anywhere from 10 to 15 boxers a year.

Possibly more.

I didn't know that.

It's a lot more now.

It's starting to grow.

starting to grow you know it's um it's not easy I think it's also because of the um the environment you know that we have and that we live on you know these other fighters like Muhammad Ali they had a run they were running with the shoes that they had you know what I mean and they fought every day or every other week just to get a couple dollars into their account yeah you know which was a lot then um so

Obviously, I think we're at a point where we're a bit more on like we're all sleeping on like silk, you know, like on our beds or silk and everything, silk sheets and everything.

No, that's why you got to hold on to it.

And the way I do it is like small, small, minor things to remind myself of the humility of it.
