Speaking to InsideFighting recently, the icon who invented the Philly Shell system of defense in boxing said what he thinks makes a boxer a real star.

‘There are some heavy hitters in the game right now but there’s only really three,’ he said. ‘Canelo, Ryan and Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis.

‘A lot of time people think well I got a belt. I’m a star. I got two belts. In today’s time, they think belts and a few million dollars makes you a star.

‘But being articulate makes you a star.

‘Knowing when to speak and when not to speak. Everything plays a role in making you a household name, and I know this.

‘That’s why they still talking about me. It’s been almost 30 years and the Mayweather name is always being brought up.’
