:08:03
I just gotta
play this thing out.
:08:05
Your lawyers have filed
all the expected appeals,,,
:08:08
but realistically, what do
you think of your chances,,,
:08:11
of getting out
before serving,,,
:08:12
the full sentence
of 6 to 8 years?
:08:15
I'm not supposed to talk
about that legal stuff.
:08:18
My people don't want me
commenting on that.
:08:21
Boxing experts tend to agree...
:08:23
that even as little
as two years in a prison...
:08:25
without proper training
could mean the end...
:08:27
for a boxer your age.
Now, you're regarded...
:08:29
as one of the greatest
offensive fighters...
:08:31
in the history of the sport...
:08:33
an attacker
like Dempsey, Joe Louis,,,
:08:35
Rocky Marciano, Joe Frazier,
:08:38
Just exactly how
damaging to your skills,,,
:08:41
is this prison stint
likely to be?
:08:42
No damage.
I'll stay in shape, work out...
:08:46
watch what I eat. I'll be fine.
:08:48
But when an athlete
is removed from competition--
:08:51
That's where you're making
one big mistake right off.
:08:54
I'm not an athlete.
I'm a gladiator.
:08:58
How do you define that?
:08:59
People play baseball.
Nobody plays boxing.
:09:04
Iceman, last week after
you were convicted,,,
:09:07
boxing's various
so-called governing bodies...
:09:10
began stripping you of
your title belts...
:09:11
stripping you--
:09:13
Who they think they kidding?
:09:15
Everybody knows I'm the champ.
:09:16
And I'm gonna be the champ
till I quit.
:09:38
This fight with
Manfredy is meant to be,,,
:09:41
just a tune-up for
George "The Iceman" Chambers,,,
:09:43
hopefully leading
to the unification bout,,,
:09:44
with Montel Briscoe,,,
:09:45
undefeated holder
of the WBC crown,
:09:48
The two biggest names in boxing
on a collision course,,,
:09:51
sometime next year,,,
:09:52
assuming the Iceman gets by
the South American challenger,
:09:55
