From a 2011 article: "At times I would even drink a tequila before a fight. In 2009 I overdosed on cocaine and alcohol and wound up hospitalised. I knew then I was going to end up dead or in jail."

In May he finally checked himself into rehab. "Now, I honestly feel as though I was born again. I feel better than ever. Addiction is the hardest battle of my life. This is sort of like training for a fight that never comes."

10 world titles in six different age brackets....He was one of the best......Fortunately for him, he didn't have agents that just used him then absconded with his winnings.

He earned and kept his wealth and didn't end up like Ali.

I respect the hell out of him for going public with his confession, but I guess that's part of the recovery process.

As for the interview where he's asked if he would run for president, of course his answer was in line with the promotion of an upcoming fight of one of his boxers........
