MOBB TIES: Melvin Butler 

The early 2000 version of how hustlers hooked up with other hustlers in boxing would be the NBA Allstar games.

Boxing was huge during the 80’s because that was the era of the greats in my opinion. Plus, that was the era of the hustlers! No other era made money like the 80’s.

I'm 51 DC born & bred. Grandma use to live a few blocks from Orleans! I remember seeing both of them and so much more! But we had a different lifestyle then!

Always wanted to here about Melvin

Melvin Butler looking like Ransom with jeri curls😂

I appreciate this episode,I'm 47 and a Boxing🥊😊head and you hit this one on the head,Mafioso style sport ,heavy hitters fa sho💪🏿💯mobb!

Rayful’s cocaine control was reportedly 60-70 percent not 30.

Melvin told on Ray before sentencing you left that out.

Gratitude for sharing. A lot of kingpins got fed time in the late 1980s and the lack of organization resulted in higher homicide rates in early 1990s. Dont get me wrong, the 1980s had high homicides rates however the peak was in the early 1990s. I saw the footage from that fight a few years ago and I swore Hagler outboxed Leonard. In the last 30 seconds of every round Leonard threw a flurry of punches and ended up winning that fight. I think Leonard came out of retirement for that Hagler fight. New York Freedie used to hang out with Ali. Them young dudes (YBI) from Deroit used be in Vegas for those Hitman Herns Fights. And like Frank Lucas Eddie Jackson and Courtney Brown went to that Ali vs Frazier fight. Eddie went to find a connect (plug) and he allegedly accomplished his mission. Queenpin Thelma Wright allegedly met a solid connect at a boxing match as well.

Melvin got locked back up

The 🔌 to the 🔌

For The Wire fans out here, Rayful lawyer was Senator Clay Davis lawyer Billy Murphy on season 5.

Tony sr is NO SNITCH

Billy Murphy a beast of a lawyer

Ray is a typical DC kat. Do our homework and then go get it. He baited Melvin in building that trust and next Melvin was vouching for him.

Yeah New Years…im wit it

Shay popalot mobbbbbbb tiesssss

This fight was when I left boxing. Marvin was robbed.

Pop, do a story on James Mckiness Sr. from Vegas. He was one of the 1st people in the country to be sentenced under the mandatory minimum life sentence structure in the federal system of the Regan Era!

I remember seeing that rayful edmond dvd documentary it changed my life never seen nobody getting it like that

Let’s go Pop

Sonny Liston was as gangster and boxer as they come he worked for the mob as a collector before boxing

That fight was a movie for drug dealers. It was a legendary night for Crack spreading throughout the country

Curtbone would be great talking about DC for your platform

Yo Pop do a story in the kid the was a legend. I can’t hardly remember the story, I can’t remember if the kid was from dc or va but he was a young don but I think his ole lady home girl ran off with the pack and them boys sent back a hit squad. The have a basketball game every year in memory for this kid but I can’t remember his name unfortunately but I know you might be familiar. Keep doing your thing bro!

Yep make it happen captain 👍🏽

Naw boxing definitely historically is the streets sport basketball is no doubt second and everything else is just sports

Would like to see a video on Atlantic City Kingpin Midget Molley
