Floyd was 27-0 with 21 knockouts when he fought at 130 pounds and and defended his world title 8 times. Anyone who is confused that he would be referred to as power puncher should know that he had multiple hand injuries and then moved up 3 weight classes to get to 147 to chase a fight against Oscar De La Hoya, which turned out to be the ticket to his success. He usually fought at a weight disadvantage against fighters from this point on in his career and adopted a defensive style where he relied on single quick straight rights or left hooks and counter punches. He still had enough power to stun and hurt opponents, which is why fighters rarely rushed in wildly against him for extended periods of time. There's a reason why world champion boxers way behind on points look like they gave up in the last quarter of a fight and it wasn't because they have a loser's mentality - they have eaten sharp counters for all of their mistakes and didn't like how it felt.
@@georgelopez4193 lol all the information fed to ChatGPT and the Ai says NO, FALSE. "Mayweather had a successful professional career with a record of 50 wins and 0 losses, but he was not known for being a prolific knockout puncher.

@@tristandaniel He had hand problems like most fighters. Gatti had a notorious problematic right hand that he broke on more than one occasion. Floyd lacked knockouts at 147 because he was an average sized welterweight, whereas before he was big for his divisions.

its amazing this kid didnt realise yet he was gonna go his whole career 50-0 ......amazing.... people dont realise the stress fear and pressure your under as a boxer , and for him to hold it together for 20 years keeping his mind and body healthy stick to his craft and be so disciplined ... no drugs or alcohol no junk food , running at 2am for miles as well as juggling your personal life ....takes a different type of human being , people just dont appreciate Floyd like they should do , they imagine he got everything the easy way....when it reality he got everything the hardest way possible.
"You want some more, Abracadabra?" "Si, I like eggs." Apodaca would go on to have a thrilling boxing career, fighting five more times and winning once.
I'm guessing you're implying that he lost his KO power because of hand injuries. He never lost any power, he just moved up 5 weight classes and fought bigger people, and they're harder to hurt.
The most underrated boxer of all time. It represents an era. He managed to only hurt his opponent and protect himself as much as possible. This is the job of every boxer now.
His dad was in prison at time of his bout , but his two uncles filled the void at ring side by giving him support and advice . Floyd was blessed from the beginning.
No he was no master boxer from his debut...this version of mayweather until he won his 1st championship bout exists a huge gap in every department, imagine this version of mayweather going against loma? Not a fair comparison considering lomas extensive amateur career but labeling mayweather a master boxer at this specific viewing is invalid
That guy he fighting looks like your uncle who always shows up to the family gatherings already drunk, doesnt say hello to anyone, keeps talking about his highschool football days, eats all the food, tries to hit on your older sister then gets thrown out by your dad after the rest of the family has gone home.
People don't remember before his hands broke Floyd was knocking everything out , and even with bad hands he still became the greatest pound for pound boxer of all time. Imagine what he would've been like had he never broke his hand.
For all of you newcomers who think that Floyd is a defensive fighter only, this is why he became a household name. He took no prisoners as a young fighters. He had great offensive game against notable fighters such as unbeaten Diego Corrales. As he grew older, his game changed and it prolonged his career and gained him the title of the best defensive fighter in the game. He will always be the GOAT in my opinion. Im not a fan of his outside of the ring, but i give him credit inside of it

its amazing this kid didnt realise yet he was gonna go his whole career 50-0 ......amazing.... people dont realise the stress fear and pressure your under as a boxer , and for him to hold it together for 20 years keeping his mind and body healthy stick to his craft and be so disciplined ... no drugs or alcohol no junk food , running at 2am for miles as well as juggling your personal life ....takes a different type of human being , people just dont appreciate Floyd like they should do , they imagine he got everything the easy way....when it reality he got everything the hardest way possible.
Exactly. Read my comment above, share the same sentiment.

This was before all the hand injuries
Yes it is. Crazy fast movement. Floyd is definitely one of the best.
I'm guessing you're implying that he lost his KO power because of hand injuries.
He never lost any power, he just moved up 5 weight classes and fought bigger people, and they're harder to hurt.
@@isawilraen9816 dude he literally had hand injuries that prevented him from punching how he used to
@@isawilraen9816 I've broke my thumb and wrist while boxing it def affects your power
The most underrated boxer of all time. It represents an era. He managed to only hurt his opponent and protect himself as much as possible. This is the job of every boxer now.
people would rather hate the character than appreciate the best boxer in history
“He was showboating in the amateurs”
TBE was showing off from the start 👌🏼
"This kid is gonna be a superstar in the future "- Commentator was spot on
This.. is the beginning... the beginning of a story. Of a legend.
@Homicidalhaz You sound like an imbecile 50-0 regardless of your stupidity lol
@Homicidalhaz yeah, the 50-0 is immediately discredited because he didn't kill an amateur in the exhibition march

His dad was in prison at time of his bout , but his two uncles filled the void at ring side by giving him support and advice . Floyd was blessed from the beginning.
3:20 “Floyd Mayweather is a power puncher. He can hurt you and knock you out with one punch”.
Until he broke his hands that is
@@ghalielkateb7361 how did he break them again?
@@supercolorful5878 Against Carlos Hernandez, hit the top of his head.
he can run also..
He could at the lower weight classes but like almost all fighters you move up in weight your ko go down even manny how many ko he get at 47.
Love him or hate him, he was a master boxer from his debut.
Facts
When Mj made his return and Ali holds the Olympic Torch
No he was no master boxer from his debut...this version of mayweather until he won his 1st championship bout exists a huge gap in every department, imagine this version of mayweather going against loma? Not a fair comparison considering lomas extensive amateur career but labeling mayweather a master boxer at this specific viewing is invalid
Nah he still need to fix that defense😂😂😂😂😂😂
People forget, before Floyd was at 147 he could put you out. Amazing talent.
The announcer called it right, "I think this young man could be a superstar one day!" Absolutely right!
That guy he fighting looks like your uncle who always shows up to the family gatherings already drunk, doesnt say hello to anyone, keeps talking about his highschool football days, eats all the food, tries to hit on your older sister then gets thrown out by your dad after the rest of the family has gone home.
Oddly specific haha

People don't remember before his hands broke Floyd was knocking everything out , and even with bad hands he still became the greatest pound for pound boxer of all time. Imagine what he would've been like had he never broke his hand.
For all of you newcomers who think that Floyd is a defensive fighter only, this is why he became a household name. He took no prisoners as a young fighters. He had great offensive game against notable fighters such as unbeaten Diego Corrales. As he grew older, his game changed and it prolonged his career and gained him the title of the best defensive fighter in the game. He will always be the GOAT in my opinion. Im not a fan of his outside of the ring, but i give him credit inside of it
This kid looks special. If he keeps it up, he might one day get a draw against a youtuber.
Amen
It was rigged
It was an exhibition match...
For all the people that question Floyd’s power just fast forward to 3:20. And then 4:05. And 5:05.
Logan paul was 1 year old when this happened. Let that sink in.
