He beat the odds, you know, he has um...

He's beat the who's-who of

his division of his time.

He chose to retire early, that's

on him. He's still, you know...

I believe he still has

a lot of good fight left.

You know, Flock would have

been a great fight for him.

Um, in England, Wales,

one of those arenas.

That would have been a

financial moneybreaker

It would have broke some records.

But, you know, he chose to retire

early. I have much respect for him.

Matter of fact, um, he got his bones of

becoming a confident fighter under my cards

when I fought in Europe.

He fought in all the undercards

and looked sensational then as well.

I think he's the greatest British fighter

we've ever had, to be honest with you.

And he's a great fighter, a

great mechanic in the ring.

And he understands what it is to win.

He totally eradicated the word

"losing" out of his vocabulary.

He comes from a division where in England

we had a wonderful name back in the day

with Ben, Eubank, and, you know.

I mean, to have your dad in your corner,

you know you're not going to get ripped off.

You've got your old

man there who loves you.

Your father don't let you side

down. Father knows who you are.

There's always a strong bond.

One of the most important things in

boxing is the bond between trainer and...

And when your father, you Know, when

you look in his eyes, he's obviously.

YOU C3l'1 tl'LISt him.

Well, it's always going to be

different strokes for different folks.

For Tito Trinidad and his dad,

same thing as Enzo and Joe.

You've got something

there that's family or tie.

They both respect each other.

They respect the boundaries of

each other's ideologies, of course.

And so, that makes it just.

It just looks good, you know.

Very rarely, at the end of the game,

it looks good. It still looks good.

I think he could have gone on.

I think he could have gone

out there and smashed...

I think he could still do it now.

I can only beat the old man.

Where's your son? Where's your son?

Congratulations, Joe. God bless.

Just keep on keeping on. I love you.

He's got the life now. He doesn't

have to... He's living the life.
