Chael Sonnen is widely regarded as the greatest trash talker in UFC history. Sometimes he extends his interest to the boxing spectrum. One such incident was when he plunged into American boxing legend, Floyd Mayweather.

In an old television interview, when the host asked Sonnen what he thinks about Mayweather’s fight, he said, “Look, Floyd needs to keep doing what he’s doing. Which is fighting complete tomato cans who we’ve never heard of before.”

“I’ve never seen anybody in the history of America get so rich and so famous of having complete whips throwing punch at their faces. And I know what you’re saying.”

‘The American gangster’ was pointing out the less popular opponents he had faced and made money by winning them.

“Well, it’s happened before. What about Rihanna? Shame on you. Classless, I will not stand for that. I will not stand for that. But, however, boxing has a misconception.”
