Floyd is so good he could beat the hell out of his opponents and then throw in the towel in the last minute of the fight and still be considered the #1 "POUND_FOR_POUND"!
You had nearly 18 seconds of Floyd swinging away at Angel and he did nothing but get hit and threw one punch and he's mad that he got stopped? What a joke
@merce77 When I said best challenger/fighter @ 140 I was talking about Floyd. As for Floyd being better than Gatti @ any point in their careers...I absolutely agree, but Gatti was the WBC/lineal champ @ 140 so why would Floyd not want to win the title & become the #1 guy in the division? I understand that boxing is a business as well as a sport so the fight made perfect sense for Floyd from a business/financial standpoint. But yeah this when Floyd started to perfect his bad guy role.
Funny part is when Manfredy protested that it was fixed. Yet, what was Manfredy doing? He was in the corner for about half a minute getting punched out.
@Grogorian17 it's hard to find a worse beatdown than the one Floyd put on gatti... I can't believe you're saying it wasn't good. Watch the fight on here, and then comment.
you think floyd is boring, then you probably havnt watched tarver or chad dawson fight..floyd is a defensive fighter, he is an expert at avoiding being hit while putting his work in. he isnt a brawler
@merce77 R u sure about that? Maybe Tszyu being the Ring Magazine champ made a difference, but usually the the WBC champ is recognized as the lineal champ. But I agree, Floyd was the best fighter @ 140 during that time w/o a doubt IMO.
i disagree,people dont only watch him fight to see him get beat,and no,i wouldnt call him boring,a boring fighter could not possibly generate the interest and revenue that this guy does.He is the most technically accomplished boxer of his generation.I dont have a problem with him as a fighter,infact i've learnt a lot from him.I just dont respect him as a man!!
if pacman fights the way he fought mosley, jumping,dancing,trowing punches wide as hell.See how mosley was holding him mayweather does the same thing, but in a different way. when he fights pac both his hands will be up like in the zab fight and cross his arms time to time. when pac jumps in he is going to throw that right uppercut and step back litte and bend backwards at the sametime. I think the problem will be when mayweather stops backing up and go inside he is going to bully.
smh, i see.. So when people hate on Mayweather you respect him; and finally people are starting to like Mayweather now you start not liking him. Idk thats how i am seeing it with a lot of people. anyone forget about Pacquiao's strapping tape?
@derdeco dude what are u talking about? no1 is talking about floyd and gatti. we're talking about manfredy and gatti, im just saying how he lost cause the doctor had to stop it cause of the cut
@davinboykie yes! gatti was stopped by "TKO" u know what that means. The doctor stopped the fight duh which is why im saying it wasnt a good victory cause he won by a cut he didnt stop gatti by knockout
@GShock80s211 Floyd is unpredictable. Do not assume Floyd to fight the same in any fight because he knows the opponent is going to study his moves, so FMJ sizes you up in the first 4rds and adjust. I thought you knew...now you know.
@sergio2279 he's not ducking anybody,Richard Shafer and Bob Arum are making that fight right now,its 2 champions,2 promoters,2 networks,who must all agree on every single point,it takes a long time to make a fight that big,its not just one phone call,ok lets go,venue,gloves,weights,money,drug tests,belts ,even which name comes first etc.Thats why he's fighting southpaw Ortiz on Sep 17 as a tune up.Floyd is the most tecnically complete pure boxer i EVER seen,he will outclass Pacquiao completely!
Boyy o boyy me and Floyd would have been one heck of a good fight? Are style being so so much alike? But me being really self trained?I might have too give him a slight edge? But I'm not sure my height and reach? Might have made up for it? Because my stable mate Harold Brazier? Sure gave His Uncle Roger Mayweather a really tough Good fight.
At last I have found one of you mere humans who are just as fast as me. Yes I knew there was hope for your species....who is this one they call.....Mayweather......?
shyt ref, ropes cant keep you up ref should step in, Manafredy was really not hurt at the time of stoppage. The only showy punch was the uppercut when the ropes were in the way
BS stoppage..you mean to tell me all a fighter has to do to win a fight by stoppage is to get their opponent on the ropes and throw a non stop flurry of punches...give me a break......lol
@merce77 LOL @ Floyd having no biz fighting Gatti. @ that time Floyd had been ranked in the top 3 of the P4P list for around 4 years. How long do u think he should've had to wait before he fought Gatti when he was clearly not only the best challenger, but the best fighter in that division. Him fighting DLH was the same thing. JMW was dead & DLH had no real competition. As for Tszyu it's simple...he didnt want any! Tszyu had been avoiding Floyd since he beat Corrales.
@Armando316 manfredy was the best at this time Stupid he did horribly for his type of skill him and Foyd was the best match that you could get because floyd was the wbc champion but i guess manfredy wasn't even close to the best ever
Floyd is so good he could beat the hell out of his opponents and then throw in the towel in the last minute of the fight and still be considered the #1 "POUND_FOR_POUND"!
People saying he wasn't hurt.This is how you end up like Ali.He didn't not return punches.
Manfredy actually put up a decent contest. He was definitely beaten but he put up a good fight.
Yoooooooo, Floyd Sr. ran out there so fast!! hahahaha!
Floyd jr was a beast at 130 ,135 jeez!!!
You had nearly 18 seconds of Floyd swinging away at Angel and he did nothing but get hit and threw one punch and he's mad that he got stopped? What a joke
It's no team like a family team God bless you all .
Hahaha, Floyd Sr. so happy for his son. Love seein this.
Manfredy took a lot of hits and still stood his ground without dropping. I wouldn't be so quick to insult him.
Mayweather is so damn fast
@merce77 When I said best challenger/fighter @ 140 I was talking about Floyd. As for Floyd being better than Gatti @ any point in their careers...I absolutely agree, but Gatti was the WBC/lineal champ @ 140 so why would Floyd not want to win the title & become the #1 guy in the division? I understand that boxing is a business as well as a sport so the fight made perfect sense for Floyd from a business/financial standpoint. But yeah this when Floyd started to perfect his bad guy role.
Lesson to learn : If you can't trouble Floyd with your jab, he becomes comfortable and finds the right distance and you've got no chance after that.
Manfredy was badly outclassed in this one.. PBF is hella fast!!
Funny part is when Manfredy protested that it was fixed. Yet, what was Manfredy doing? He was in the corner for about half a minute getting punched out.
Good stoppage before he got seriously hurt!
Gimmicks and contrived intensity aside, Manfredy was a good fighter -- but speed kills. Floyd's on a different level.
very true, and he wasnt really hurt at all...floyds punches just knocked him off balance
Angel was hurt. The only reason why he didn't fall is because the ropes held him up.
@Grogorian17 it's hard to find a worse beatdown than the one Floyd put on gatti... I can't believe you're saying it wasn't good. Watch the fight on here, and then comment.
I blinked and I missed it.
you think floyd is boring, then you probably havnt watched tarver or chad dawson fight..floyd is a defensive fighter, he is an expert at avoiding being hit while putting his work in. he isnt a brawler

They didn't need to stop it yet.
im reffereing to Boxing fans, that's probably why Mstropal isn't making no more videos.
Manfredy was a really good fighter, beat a prime Gatti.
Mayweather is actually a far better boxer now.
Same techniques, but refined, plus Floyd is heavier and his body cut like granite.
@Grogorian17 You MUST be joking. Floyd was dominating Gatti, Gatti was simply outclassed. You don't have to win by knockout to win soundly.
if pacman fights the way he fought mosley, jumping,dancing,trowing punches wide as hell.See how mosley was holding him mayweather does the same thing, but in a different way. when he fights pac both his hands will be up like in the zab fight and cross his arms time to time. when pac jumps in he is going to throw that right uppercut and step back litte and bend backwards at the sametime. I think the problem will be when mayweather stops backing up and go inside he is going to bully.
good call ref i got tired of lookin at those wings on manfredy's trunks anyway lol
smh, i see.. So when people hate on Mayweather you respect him; and finally people are starting to like Mayweather now you start not liking him. Idk thats how i am seeing it with a lot of people.
anyone forget about Pacquiao's strapping tape?
@derdeco dude what are u talking about? no1 is talking about floyd and gatti. we're talking about manfredy and gatti, im just saying how he lost cause the doctor had to stop it cause of the cut
I dont think this fight happened on Friday........
haha Jr looks helpless when Sr throws him over his shoulder like a wet towel.
@davinboykie yes! gatti was stopped by "TKO" u know what that means. The doctor stopped the fight duh which is why im saying it wasnt a good victory cause he won by a cut he didnt stop gatti by knockout
You have to throw punches back and defend yourself. Why was he AMF pissed off???!?!
@GShock80s211 Floyd is unpredictable. Do not assume Floyd to fight the same in any fight because he knows the opponent is going to study his moves, so FMJ sizes you up in the first 4rds and adjust. I thought you knew...now you know.
floyd baby
hit, miss, hit, miss, hit, miss, miss, hit
Floyd the best ever
there is no way roy jones naturally talks like dat
hahaha "miss... land.. land... miss... miss... land... uhh miss." kind of reminds me of the ''boom...boom" bullshit in the pacman fight.
Mayweather beat fighters mentally when you get Beat at your best that is very discouraging to your career.
This will be what Mayweather will do to the Pac Man!
this was the only exciting fight Floyd's EVER been in.
toorpat 1 I can tell u dont watch floyd
if anyone would of asked floyd to fight pacquiao at this time, people would of laughed lool
He was 3 punches away from Floyd haymakering his neck off.
@hahmed1 no shit it was 1998
@sergio2279 he's not ducking anybody,Richard Shafer and Bob Arum are making that fight right now,its 2 champions,2 promoters,2 networks,who must all agree on every single point,it takes a long time to make a fight that big,its not just one phone call,ok lets go,venue,gloves,weights,money,drug tests,belts ,even which name comes first etc.Thats why he's fighting southpaw Ortiz on Sep 17 as a tune up.Floyd is the most tecnically complete pure boxer i EVER seen,he will outclass Pacquiao completely!
floyd mayweather,even angels will fall :D
Boyy o boyy me and Floyd would have been
one heck of a good fight? Are style being so so much alike? But me being really self trained?I might have too give him a slight edge? But I'm not sure my height and reach? Might have made up for it? Because my stable mate Harold Brazier? Sure gave His Uncle Roger Mayweather a really tough Good fight.
At last I have found one of you mere humans who are just as fast as me. Yes I knew there was hope for your species....who is this one they call.....Mayweather......?
i have now lost all respect for Mayweather for several reasons,but mainly for his handling of the Pacquiao situation.I dont care about him anymore
shyt ref, ropes cant keep you up ref should step in, Manafredy was really not hurt at the time of stoppage. The only showy punch was the uppercut when the ropes were in the way
that was too funny!!
Manfredy should have taken a knee. It's not on the ref to call a standing knockdown.
It actually is when the ropes keep a guy from going down...
He gonna cry in the car
nobody floyd figh be in betta shape in him
BS stoppage..you mean to tell me all a fighter has to do to win a fight by stoppage is to get their opponent on the ropes and throw a non stop flurry of punches...give me a break......lol
manfredy was pretty good up until this fight
Floyd couldnt wait to get his father out of his corner...his dad irritates the shit out of him.
Those little wings look so stupid, he should just have them drawn on or something.
lol mayweather hit em with a 28 combo.. lol..
i counted...
couldnt add the ones where he stopped... then started bac throwin em..
referee "watch your overhand" ? wtf
@merce77 LOL @ Floyd having no biz fighting Gatti. @ that time Floyd had been ranked in the top 3 of the P4P list for around 4 years. How long do u think he should've had to wait before he fought Gatti when he was clearly not only the best challenger, but the best fighter in that division. Him fighting DLH was the same thing. JMW was dead & DLH had no real competition. As for Tszyu it's simple...he didnt want any! Tszyu had been avoiding Floyd since he beat Corrales.
damn mayweather sr scooped floyd up easy as hell
He had just got out the pen.
Floyd hit him so good it will make you wanna slap yo mama
Manfreddys wife is gorgeous tho....
Was the lady in black Manfredy's wife?I think she's very beautiful.He should be happy with that and move on...
@Armando316 manfredy was the best at this time Stupid he did horribly for his type of skill him and Foyd was the best match that you could get because floyd was the wbc champion but i guess manfredy wasn't even close to the best ever
Manfreddy didnt complain when the referee stopped it he complained later because he got whooped. All that devil shit. Glad he lost. he aint no legend.
Manfredy n his corner may have the gayest lil outfits I've ever seen in boxing
