Roughly two years after his infamous on-air verbal altercation with rapper R.A. The Rugged Man in an interview gone terribly wrong, undefeated welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather once again scoured the satellite radio circuit in search of his next opponent.
The dance partner this time around was DJ Rude Jude, co-host of The All Out Show on Sirius Satellite Radio Channel Shade 45.
The results weren?t nowhere near on the level of the war of words with R.A. The Rugged Man, who mostly offered an informed opinion while keeping Mayweather in check for the duration of their tirade. Nevertheless, it showed the manner in which the pound-for-pound entrant chooses to carry himself in between fghts.
Audio uploads of the interview went viral in a hurry, with Mayweather calling in at the request of rapper and close friend Curtis ?50 Cent? Jackson in response to claims that the radio hosts were trashing the undefeated superstar.
Mayweather began the call with the suggestion that he wanted to clear the air. A fixture on the hip hop circuit, Mayweather insisted that he respects what others do in their chosen profession ? those in the radio industry, in particular – and demands that the same respect be shown to him in return.
From there, the six-time champion in five separate weight classes sought clarification over disparaging comments made by someone on the show.
DJ Rude Jude (whose real name is Jude Anthony Angelini, of Pontiac, Michigan) jumped in, stating that he had nothing against the fighter, just that he believes he?s been ducking his pound-for-pound counterpart, Manny Pacquiao.
That?s when the fun began.
In their own words, read below for the six-minute long measuring of (male organs) that took place, in which neither did much to make himself look like anything other than an ass in the process:

Floyd Mayweather: Not once have I disrespected nobody from the radio. At the end of the day, I do what I do, you do what you do. The other day, I guess someone over there had something against me. I heard someone on there was talking (stuff) about me.
DJ Rude Jude: ?Nah, I said that you was afraid to fight Pacquiao, that you?ve been ducking Pacquiao.?
FM: ?So what makes you say that, because the media said that??
RJ: ?Because you over here using steroids as an excuse. I?m saying you bigger than him anyway. You should be able to whoop his ass, steroids or not.?
FM: ?Can I ask you a question ? have you ever heard me say that? Have you ever personally say it?
