No!!! MIKE, my dad has dementia and your old fighting videos and your podcast is how we bond. He forgets my name, but he REMEMBERS YOUR NAME. That’s ok with me. Love you, Mike! Thank you 🙏🏼

I love how genuine Nicky Jam is. He's come a long way. We all make mistakes. Own it and learn from it.

[@losboxing7837]

Nicky is as humble as he is talented, he's a total legend of a man!

[@reza2kn]

I mean I love him, and have watched the series too, but he doesn't seem humble at all :D

[@jamesoaks866]

@@reza2knhe is just don’t try to play him. G got a temper.

[@Retrotoys80]

Bro I don't know him personally,but in this interview, he doesn't look that humble, I grew up with his music, and he's a great artist

[@reza2kn]

@@Retrotoys80 exactly my point. being too concerned with "who came first" vs actually who did what seems more like being petty than humble. and this doesn't take anything away from his music either. they're 2 separate things, but we all have eyes, right?

[@nastyfIow]

​@@Retrotoys80 Have you seen what he went thru? Watch his show "El ganador". Even daddy yankee on interviews spoke about how Nicky Jam was with drugs and coming late to studio sessions, shows etc.. when they both started their career together. So, coming a long way and being able to outcome drug addiction and depression its a big Flex, fuck the humbleness.

Nicky is a Warrior, respect 🔥🇬🇹

[@benpiazza422]

I’ve watched so many interviews and fights of Mike’s throughout my life. Greatest of all time but more important than that I respect how he’s such an open book and how he spreads God’s message is beautiful. I’d love to just have a coffee with the guy. What I admire the most is how he understands that he’s human and a sinner but he is so intelligent and has such faith and uses his voice to make the people in his life see the big picture and know we all fall to temptation but we need to acknowledge it’s from the evil one and turn to God because we can’t do it on our own. Truly inspiring!

[@huero529]

Wow that was perfect. 💯

[@joeloher8563]

​​​@@Poteluz No he is not, he went to PR as a kid when he was 8yrs old and was raised his entire life in PR with his dad who is puertorican and his family who are all puertoricans. He doesn't have any dominican in him, only his mom and he didn't lived with his mom since he was a kid because she abandoned him at 8yrs old. He doesn't even talk like a dominican or ever lived in DR at all. His entire life he lived and was raised in PR as a puertorican. He actually went to see his mom in DR for the first time as an adult like 12yrs ago the dude doesn't even know his mom like that bro lol

@nickyjam You’re such a special man… different from the rest… Love your music, story, and good vibes. Besos Nicky!

[@masterdelrap]

Best interview ever

[@officialpeteytv]

I hope people appreciate Hotboxin and see it for what it really is. A badass legend who fought for a living under the brightest spotlight, and is now in his retirement years, just kicked back on a couch and reminiscing and telling stories of the glory days and some amazing decades (80’s, 90’s) while inviting other famous people and exchanging stories with them too.

[@MetalHendrix.]

The First time i ever saw a Hummer was Nicky Driving one, he gave me a Ride to Viejo San Juan from Santurce. Yankee got Tattooed at Shop i was Running in the ‘90s. Good Days👊🏽

[@vlogswithleo8467]

Love you, Mike because of your hard dedication your due diligence in the past in your knockouts. I think that you are either number one or number two of the all-time greatest boxers of all time there will be a debate whether it’s you or Muhammad Ali but in my heart, it’s you because of the 30 knockout you had at the beginning of your career. I love you God bless you you’re gonna win this next fight in July that I promise in my heart, your friend Leo, leaving in Ho Chi Minh City district 8

[@daesean77]

✊🏽Iron Mike fosure the “GOAT! Next fight though not sure 🤔 shit be rigged these days…. But he will get hi$. Hope they both come out with there all and gives us what we are all paying for.
