And now, Adam Corolla. Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on. The trust to get on mandate. Get it on. And Deontay Wilder's back. On the show, we've got a movie coming out in theaters January 30th. Moses the Black, he's in it, has a nice role in it, and is doing a little bit of acting. Good to see you again. Yeah, man. Likewise. How you doing? I'm doing well. I'm a huge boxing fan, so I'm a huge fan of yours. Oh, man. I used to teach boxing, believe it or not, back in the day. So I've always been a fan. And I've always been a fan of yours because, well, first off, heavyweight, you know, fighting at 6'7 and, you know, 220 or so is kind of nuts. And I started thinking it's kind of – It's like Thomas Hearns. Thomas Hitman Hearns is 6'1", 6'2", fought at like 148.
Unknown 2:40
Super lean, but great leverage. Huge leverage in his punches, right?
Deontay Wilder 2:47
That's true. The Hitman Hearn, if he touch you, if he hit you, it could be lights out for you. You know what I mean? Hitman was the man for sure. He had that small body frame. They used to, when I would be in the gym, you know, sparring, training or whatever, they always used to look at me and like, man, you like a big Tommy Hearns and stuff with the long lanky arms and the power and stuff like that. So yeah, you're definitely correct.
Unknown 3:10
Well, see, there's an interesting thing, which is leverage. Like the guys that are long. Like if you guys, if anyone listened to me ever watches Daryl Strawberry swing a bat, Daryl Strawberry was probably 6'3", maybe 6'4", and was probably 175 pounds. But he cranked home runs because it was bat speed. He was long and he was lean, but he whipped fast. It was like Tommy Hearns would whip his right hand. John Bones Jones was that way. It's super long and spidery, but using the leverage. And that's how Deontay Wilder knocks everybody out. I mean, your knockout percentage is the best of all time in heavyweights, right?
Deontay Wilder 4:02
In the world. In the world, right? In the history of boxing. In the history of boxing. You know, it's amazing, you know what I mean? It's amazing to me even just to hear it, you know what I mean? Because, you know, just to hear it now and to know that I still got more to give is, like, it's crazy. But being in the history of boxing with all the greats that came before, God has truly blessed me with power for sure. And sometimes I get scared of myself when I'm in there, like... Just to know that I have all that power to hit a guy and to know what I feel inside of my fist from his face is like, it's a crazy feeling. You know what I mean? And to see it, because it's one thing to want to say it, but to actually see it happen over and over.
Deontay Wilder 4:47
I mean, 43, for God's sakes, you know, over and over and over again, you know, is definitely an ability and something God has truly blessed me with.
