    Anytime Wilder opens his mouth. He sounds like an Alabama version of Andre the giant.

    I would bet money on him having an IQ under 70. He can't put 2 sentences together. I feel bad for his English teacher.

    His father was a preacher from what I've heard and he's been on TV for 5 years now so he should atleast be somewhat articulate but no....the guy is dumb as rocks.

    His comments on Joshua being popular because he is lighter skinned just underline that. Has he never heard of Frank bruno, Lennox Lewis, Joe frazier, evander Holyfield?



    He isn't popular because
    1. Boxing is on life support in America

    2. Is inarticulate

    3. He fought his first decent opponent this year at age 33 in his 10th/11th year as a pro

    Broner, virtually no self awareness, he really isn't funny, slightly stupid and just comes across as outrageously arrogant.

    Abel Sanchez.

    Can't seem to decide if his fighter got robbed or lost the fight fair and square(like he initially seemed to think)



    Oscar De La Hoya

    Very creepy vibe. Something very strange going on with him, like he is playing a character. Possibly a psychopath or still an addict.
    The way he talked about getting a black eye in sparring and sporadically claiming he is making a comeback is just plain weird. The kitchen utensils story is also very weird.


    Don King

    About as close as it gets to a confirmed psychopath when it comes to celebrities. Get goosebumps(and not in a good way) watching/listening to him



    Larry Holmes gives nobody credit, still seems bitter for whatever reason.

    Mike Tyson.

    Either the dementia has set in or he is off the wagon. Would be sad if either one is the case.

    Hope it's something else but he doesn't seem well and has really gotten out of shape again.



    James Toney.

    Just feel bad for him.



    Miguel Cotto.
    Great great warrior, never had a boring fight, spilled alot of blood for our entertainment but a totally arrogant unlikeable guy in interviews

    I never took to Cotto. He comes across as a complete diva.

    Rahmen after being stopped by Lewis. I was the only one in the room who understood what he was saying and translated for my friends.

    "It's a round robin...it's a round robin...don't nobody have long reigns that I see...we want Johnny Ruiz next..."

    Ill be honest, the only interviews that I can think of at the moment that I have genuinely thought were bad interviews almost all involve Mayweather. He is almost always hidden behind walls of defensive insecurites, a fake persona (probably rooted in his insecurity), and various other delusions. Not saying there arent good Mayweather interviews, just saying that the bad ones that come to mind almost exclusively feature him.

    I would have also added Victor Ortiz.... but his interviews are so bad, that they are good.

    I enjoy most fighters interviews though. Pac and G can get a bit dry for me sometimes, but that is likely due to the language situations.

    Yeah not alot to criticize in the ring, warrior and very exciting but what a diva outside.
    Then again he lost to Pac Margarito fmj and Canelo and all of them are either confirmed cheats or highly suspect

    So maybe he felt like he needed to get an advantage with his diva demands as well

    Any interview of Teddy Atlas qualifies
