from France,Mancini is one of my favourite figter, working class hero, a champ with a lion heart ,he was the Arturo Gatti àf the eighties good luck champ!
I've watched boxing for 60 years. Ray has always been a favorite in and out of the ring; a classy guy. Steve Kim has become a top boxing journalist and interviewer.
Really enjoyed these - I like Mancini he's a straight shooter and has a lot of great anecdotes from back in the day - all the best to him with his film production work.
Just to fight a great fight against a legend like Arquello who was just name the greatest super feather weight in history. Mancini had a great and warrior heart .
Jose Luis Ramirez was one of Ray's best victories. Ramirez was tough as hell with wins over several highly regarded fighters such as Whitaker, Boza-Edwards and Rosario. I can see why you were ready for Alexis. You gave it a good go too! I've met Ray on several occasions. He's a class act. Always humble and polite. All the best to you Ray from a fellow Youngstowner.
The Ramirez fight should be ONE of the ways he's remembered. As good as Ramirez was and later became, Ray was his master. And he looked much better against him than either Whitaker ( the first fight) or Rosario ever did. I do disagree about one thing. Ramirez only dropped Arguello once and I thought Arguello eeked it out. But it was a close one. And for those of us that remember him fighting, I think he was wrong on another point, though I am sure he believes it. He was a different man after the Kim fight. He just wasn't the same. But, really, how could anyone be?

Love you Ray, enjoyed watching you fight those great battles back then....

Great Mancini! from Nicaragua
Lots of boxers can barely speak at age 55. Good to see that Ray still has a very good, sharp mind at this age.
Terrific interview. Ray was and still is a class act.
Jose Luis Ramirez was 71-3 only ko loss in his career was to Ruben Olivares in 78

The great Mancini, he had the heart of a triple crown thorough breed race horse, one of the all time greats no doubt!
man Steve , i love this series...this one and 10 count
Ray is the only reason I subscribed to this channel. I don't agree with him on everything but he knows his stuff.
That was a dope, really organic interview. Keep it up lads
Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini, one of the greats.

I agree that Ray wasn’t quite the same after the Kim fight. He lost the “killer instinct” and how could he not?
Great interview
Ray is a class act in and out of the ring
So refreshing. Very nice.
Great interview.
"Tears in Heaven..?" Got an answer for everything.
David Wolf. David Wolf is why you know Ray Mancini. May he rest in peace
quick joke is this Mel Brooks? great fighter. Great person.
Nice
👍👍👍
I didn't know Mel Brooks was a boxer.
Wow rays punchy. He didn't have that many fights. Still punchy.
How did you get THAT? He's always talked that way and I understand everything he says.
You’re a 🤡
