    Here are the questions + answers! It lasted just at 30 minutes.

    Why do you think you are better than Ali?

    Floyd said he takes his hat off to the greats, but he feels he did more in boxing than Ali. Ali was only in one weight class.

    "I've done just as much in the sport as Ali. No disrespect."

    How do you feel about Freddie's trash talk?

    Floyd said he has nothing bad to say.

    "Freddie is entitled to say what he wants to say, but it comes down to the fighters. I have nothing negative to say about Freddie."

    What's going to happen May 2?

    "Manny is an extremely talented fighter, a good fighter. I can't predict the future, but I will be at my best on May 2."

    On the money...

    "I want to be the first fighter to make nine figures in one night. And that took a gameplan."

    Why he isn't trash talking anymore?

    "I talked loud to get you to hear. As I got older, I matured. I'm at the point I know what I bring to the table. It was a brilliant gameplan."

    Is Freddie's trash-talking just Freddie nervous?

    "I'm not fighting Freddie."

    On retirement?

    "I could retire today if I wanted. I've invested well."

    Would the winner be TBE?

    According to Fat Dan, his response was noncommittal and he kinda slipped the question.

    Manny says he thinks it's time for him to lose, and maybe God wants him to lose. Floyd's thoughts on the question?

    Said it was rhetorical, asked for another. Then, took it and said he thinks God loves us all and doesn't take sides.

    What about Khan?

    "I'm not looking past Manny Pacquiao."

    On Manny Pacquiao?

    "He got to this point by doing something right. I have to respect that....He's one of the last good fighters of this era so the fight had to happen. I'm glad it's happening."


    On the promotion of the fight?

    "A little bit over the top."

    What's your gameplan?

    "Everyone asks what my gameplan is. My gameplan is to win. That's it."

    The answer to the question of why he isn't talking trash is brilliant. He did it to make people listen, and now they do. Before, he was just a great boxer, now he's a great boxer with eyes on him.

    Floyd seems fixated on Pacquiao, and that's scary

    He's clearly minimizing the impact of a possible loss.

    That shows what his mentality is How can a heavyweight fight in any other lower weight class. Anyway Ali won a gold medal at Lt Heavyweight Everyone knows Floyd isn't fit to lace Ali's boots

    We agree for once. Ali can only win one title. You can use the bathroom, leave a dudu and end up in a different division in the lower weight classes. Look at Donaire a B-level, 5 division titlist. I doubt he even makes HoF.

    Floyd will never come close to achieving what Ali did.

    That man transcended the sport and became an iconic figure.

    Too bad Floyd isn't able to read it
