| 5/28/26 | ![]() Stephen Fulton REVEALS Weight Cut Nightmare, Foster Rematch Plans & $17M Retirement Quota | Philly’s own Stephen “Cool Boy” Fulton sits down with Ak & Barak on RING CHAMPS and finally tells the full story of what really happened before his loss to O’Shaquie Foster. The two-time world champion walks through the weight cut from hell — running for hours without sweating, an hour in the sauna tent, passing out in the hotel room with his body locked up, and showing up to the weigh-in with one shoe on and one shoe off. He admits he was “killing himself” on the scale, ran out of legs before the bell, and says if Foster had actually engaged in a rumble, the result would have been completely different. The Foster rematch is officially on his radar.Fulton also opens up about the personal storm he was in heading into that fight: a year-plus breakup he was still working through in the ring, a house break-in where someone walked off with a $20K Chanel bag, and therapy work that finally helped him forgive his mom for the trauma she carried. He talks fashion ($35-40K Margiela fight kits, $1.5M total spent on clothes), his $17M retirement quota, his goal to become the first three-division world champion from Philadelphia, and a mystery summertime comeback fight at 130 pounds.This is one of the rawest, most honest sit-downs Fulton has done since the loss. 00:00:00 - Intro00:01:19 - Best Dressed Boxers: Tank, Devin, Caleb Plant & More00:02:35 - Raising His Sons & Teaching Style00:04:32 - Would Steph Start His Own Clothing Brand?00:05:13 - Most Expensive Fight Outfit: Head-to-Toe Margiela ($35-40K)00:05:53 - How Much Has He Spent on Clothes His Whole Career?00:09:42 - Going to Therapy & What He Learned00:10:51 - Understanding His Mom’s Trauma & Forgiving Her00:12:32 - His Parenting Philosophy: Don’t Force Your Kids00:20:12 - His Financial Goal: $17 Million Before He Hangs It Up00:22:04 - The House Break-In Before His Last Fight00:28:41 - Acting, Podcasting & Life After Boxing00:29:20 - Inoue vs Bam Rodriguez: Who Wins?00:33:38 - Breaking Down Shakur Stevenson00:34:13 - What Was Really Going on Before the Foster Fight (Breakup)00:35:37 - Boxing Is the Loneliest Sport00:36:09 - Being a Lover Boy, Therapy & Learning to Be Alone00:40:47 - Motivation Now: Becoming a 3-Division World Champion00:42:41 - What Really Went Wrong in the Foster Fight00:43:14 - The Weight Cut Nightmare00:47:34 - Does He Want the Rematch with Forster?00:50:12 - Next Fight Coming This Year00:54:20 - What’s Changed in Camp: Back to the Footwork00:59:19 - OutroSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 57m 53s | ||||||
| 5/21/26 | ![]() Why Canelo Is The Greatest Mexican Ever: The 77-0 Truth & Where Chavez Sr Falls On The List | Ak & Barak are back on RING CHAMPS with their boldest take yet: Canelo Alvarez is the greatest Mexican fighter of all time, and they’re settling it with facts over feelings. In one of the most controversial debates in boxing, Ak & Barak break down why Saul “Canelo” Alvarez has surpassed Julio Cesar Chavez Sr to claim the Mexican GOAT crown, and they bring the receipts.They walk through Chavez Sr’s record with a microscope: the 77-0 fight against a 7-2 opponent, the 65-0 fight against a 0-1 fighter, the 51+ journeymen on the resume, and the Meldrick Taylor fight Chavez was losing until the final seconds. Then he stacks Canelo’s accomplishments: 18 world titles across four divisions, becoming the first Mexican fighter to go undisputed at 168 pounds, 20 champions beaten, 9 undefeated fighters defeated, and moving up to 175 pounds to fight bigger men.The conversation also tackles Salvador Sanchez (potential vs accomplishments), Ricardo “Finito” Lopez, Marco Antonio Barrera, Juan Manuel Marquez (and his Pacquiao-four-times resume), and the strongest contrarian argument on the board: Oscar De La Hoya’s 11 world titles across six divisions, and the fact that he beat Chavez Sr head-to-head. 00:00 - The Ring Champs: Settling the Mexican GOAT Debate01:25 - Facts Over Feelings: Canelo vs. Chavez Sr.02:50 - Salvador Sanchez: Eye Test vs. Longevity04:44 - Finito Lopez: Undefeated & More Skilled Than Chavez?05:33 - Marco Antonio Barrera & Juan Manuel Marquez Resumes11:16 - Lineal Champions vs. Vacant Titles12:46 - Putting Chavez Sr.’s 77-0 Record Under the Microscope17:32 - The Superstar Cultural Impact of Chavez Sr.18:58 - Peak Comparisons: 21-Year-Old Canelo vs. Chavez Sr.22:14 - The Strongest Case: Oscar De La Hoya’s Six-Division Legacy25:36 - Why Canelo Alvarez is the Greatest Mexican Fighter of All Time28:36 - Ticket Gates, Pay-Per-View, & Putting “Asses in Seats”29:42 - Breaking Down Chavez Sr.’s Biggest Career Wins33:59 - Final Verdict: Canelo Stands Alone at the TopSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | 37m 44s | ||||||
