Boxing was huge during the 80’s because that was the era of the greats in my opinion. Plus, that was the era of the hustlers! No other era made money like the 80’s.
I'm 51 DC born & bred. Grandma use to live a few blocks from Orleans! I remember seeing both of them and so much more! But we had a different lifestyle then!
Gratitude for sharing. A lot of kingpins got fed time in the late 1980s and the lack of organization resulted in higher homicide rates in early 1990s. Dont get me wrong, the 1980s had high homicides rates however the peak was in the early 1990s. I saw the footage from that fight a few years ago and I swore Hagler outboxed Leonard. In the last 30 seconds of every round Leonard threw a flurry of punches and ended up winning that fight. I think Leonard came out of retirement for that Hagler fight. New York Freedie used to hang out with Ali. Them young dudes (YBI) from Deroit used be in Vegas for those Hitman Herns Fights. And like Frank Lucas Eddie Jackson and Courtney Brown went to that Ali vs Frazier fight. Eddie went to find a connect (plug) and he allegedly accomplished his mission. Queenpin Thelma Wright allegedly met a solid connect at a boxing match as well.
That’s EXACTLY how remember that fight. I thought Hagler won. But Sugar Ray’s late round flurries that was doing nothing-carried the day in the judges eyes.
Live.1channel that never disappoints me and bruh u don't need us to tell u what stories to hit cus I always driving the nail.ya digg keep it goin just like u have sometimes input can hurt all I can think is left is to try getting some interviews wit the ones who still living wit us.
Pop, do a story on James Mckiness Sr. from Vegas. He was one of the 1st people in the country to be sentenced under the mandatory minimum life sentence structure in the federal system of the Regan Era!
@JoeRogansForehead I never met him, only heard his name and knew he was doing his thing when I was a kid in the 80s. I googled his name a few years back and a news article stated how the boys was on him, tracked his flight to St. Louis and allegedly found 2 gallons of wet in mountain dew bottles in his luggage! Crazy! Hit him with that new drug law that carried a mandatory minimum of Life! I'll look for the link again and send it to you. Thanks
www.justice.gov/opa/pr/president-obama-grants-commutations-8 I sent you the wrong spelling... James A. McKines - Las Vegas, NV Offense: Conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute phencyclidine (PCP); possession with intent to distribute PCP; interstate travel in aid of racketeering; Western District of Missouri Sentence: Life imprisonment; 10 years’ supervised release; $40,000 fine (November 2, 1989) Commutation Grant: Prison sentence commuted to expire on February 24, 2017 Obama commuted his sentence! Wow!
Yo Pop do a story in the kid the was a legend. I can’t hardly remember the story, I can’t remember if the kid was from dc or va but he was a young don but I think his ole lady home girl ran off with the pack and them boys sent back a hit squad. The have a basketball game every year in memory for this kid but I can’t remember his name unfortunately but I know you might be familiar. Keep doing your thing bro!
Melvin, Bo,and Ray still living. Hear it from the horses mouves. Who was the ritchest. We may never kno. We could debate all day. Throw Meech in there. Ray was heavy of course home. Dc had ritcher tho. Ray did it on a p level tho,and was so young. He turned years later we kno. Alpo should not even be mentioned in this.
You must be a young dude. Everyone knows that Alpo didn't have more money than Rayful. Ray had more money than every drug dealer on the entire East Coast.
@mistamack5038 you high? Its on record how he baited him by giving him a bunch of money and other flashy things he did. You simps comment and have no clue of what went on and how you can bait someone even when you need them smh
@@JosephMBlack10.... around the country. They caught Bo on wiretap doing 15 thousand kilos in 8 months. They said it was probably more, but that's what they caught on tape...
Dnt forget Frank Matthews n Eddie Jackson met too but Boxing was definitely the biggest sport bak in the gap even tho the 80s n 90s made a lot of stars Mike Tyson had more money thn everyone jus like Money Mayweather
'AND ALL DA HOODS I HANG WIT .. MIX SLANG IN THEY LANGUAGE .. LOVE KICKIN DAT GAME SHIIIT .. SELLIN ON DA SAME STRIP .. HUSTLIN HARD .. NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE HATE IT .. SO DEDICATED .. EVEN OUR DREAMS R DRUG RELATED' ..
The early 2000 version of how hustlers hooked up with other hustlers in boxing would be the NBA Allstar games.

For The Wire fans out here, Rayful lawyer was Senator Clay Davis lawyer Billy Murphy on season 5.

@onceagain6184 L.A. or Columbian 🔌 >>>>>>>stepped on work from Fritz
Nobody has ever thought Alpo was on Rayful’s level…Rayful had mid level lieutenants who were richer than Po 😂
It’s not even close, they called Rayful the 300 million dollar man on 60 mins 😕

Yeah the mobb was in boxing and it was always big that was the fly shit
Damn he was only 24?! Wtf . Imagine if he had a different start. A good family and education. He’d be a ceo somewhere by now
Crazy part is he kinda did. His family wasn't struggling and he excelled at school. He just had a nack for moving that girl
15:02 it's called a middle man🤦🏾♂️ damn
Ray is a typical DC kat. Do our homework and then go get it. He baited Melvin in building that trust and next Melvin was vouching for him.
Baited him in naww they needed each other ain't nobody bait nobody nowhere.
