5. JRJoe Rogan0:14

   Last time I saw you, I think it was before the Madravo fight, wasn't it? Wasn't it before that fight?

6. TCTerence Crawford0:20

   Yeah, I believe so. I believe so.

7. JRJoe Rogan0:20

   It was before that fight, and that was just around the time you were talking about fighting Canelo, and everybody was like: "That's crazy! He's gonna go up all the way to 168, two more weight classes above that. That's nuts." Everybody's gotta shut the fuck up now. [laughing]

8. TCTerence Crawford0:37

   Yeah. Yeah. You know what I say, skills pay the bills.

9. JRJoe Rogan0:40

   They do. They do. Skills are everything, man. Uh, but the thing is, it's like, it's interesting, I watched both the Canelo fight and the Madravo fight again recently, [mouth clicks] and Madravo looked bigger.

10. TCTerence Crawford0:52

    Mm-hmm.

11. JRJoe Rogan0:53

    He looked bigger than Canelo.

12. TCTerence Crawford0:54

    Yeah.

13. JRJoe Rogan0:54

    It was really interesting.

14. TCTerence Crawford0:55

    He was a big dude, you know?

15. JRJoe Rogan0:56

    He's a big dude.

16. TCTerence Crawford0:57

    He's a big dude.

17. JRJoe Rogan0:57

    I wonder what that guy walks around at, 'cause it's not 154.

18. TCTerence Crawford1:01

    No, not at all.

19. JRJoe Rogan1:02

    He's a big guy.

20. TCTerence Crawford1:02

    I think he fought at 160 his last fight.

21. JRJoe Rogan1:04

    Did he?

22. TCTerence Crawford1:04

    Yeah.

23. JRJoe Rogan1:04

    Yeah. Really, a, an outstanding performance against Canelo. It was, uh... Like I was saying, telling you before, it was a great I-told-you-so fight for me. 'Cause, uh, there were so many of my friends that are big boxing fans that just thought Canelo was too big. They thought it was too much of a jump, he's too experienced.

24. TCTerence Crawford1:23

    [chuckles]

25. JRJoe Rogan1:24

    But you got it.

26. TCTerence Crawford1:25

    Yeah, it was-

27. JRJoe Rogan1:25

    I mean, you made it look, I, I wanna say easy. It wasn't that it was easy, but it was definitive, you know? It was, it was such a clear victory. It was so- it was... At one point when you were pity-patting him and then firing off hard shots, I was like, "Oh, my goodness, he's feeling it!"

28. TCTerence Crawford1:42

    Yeah, I was, I was in my element. I was in the zone, s- mainly because a lot of people was doubting me as well, you know, telling me I was gonna get knocked out, I was too small, and I was just fighting for the money, when I knew what I was capable of. So I was just like, "I'm gonna t- I'm gonna show y'all what I'm really about," because this is not the first time that I done heard that, "Oh, he can't do this, he can't do that."

29. JRJoe Rogan2:08

    I think your situation is very similar to when Roy Jones was in his prime. Because when Roy Jones was in his prime, everybody was saying, "Roy Jones, other than James Toney, Roy Jones really hadn't fought anybody."

30. TCTerence Crawford2:20

    Mm.
