ABC 123 fairly late here, but I agree - not all of them, but def an easy-description of what he had to do to get the job done. I’m sure it was far more technical in terms of breaking down what he had to do to win every second during that fight. Seeing him here among people who can see reason behind TRUE boxing is a blessing. No wonder he’s so relaxed answering these questions!
Those are no secret, this is clear boxing tactic, everyone will notice .he have the reach advantage over pacquiao, and paquiao hits harder than him and he is faster, so he blocked him everytime with the hook and the cross and play in distance
More like his temperament is exceptional. Most fighters like Manny, Marquez and so on like to attack and take it to the opponent. Floyd waits for his opponent to bring it to him.
The level of respect UK gives boxers is what gave us this great insight. Other interviews you don't get much depth. Definitely appreciate this analysis of fight Pacquiao because it isn't easy to escape that speed he has.
finally, a real interview where he's talkin just boxing. past fights, fighters, tactics, strategies ... this is great. we need more interviews where we praise this true champ and admire all his work.
I found this comment very interesting, Floyd the character in the build up to the fight is very dislikable, but when he’s being 100% real, he’s very articulate and can captivate any crowd.
Mayweather's style was the perfect balance of defensively-minded offense, amd offensively-minded defense, and switched modes so seamlessly that when he was offensive, he seemed defensive, and that when he was defensive, he tagged you so cleanly and crisply that his little pull counters, check hooks and dirty inside rough-house tactics would escape the untrained, low-IQ-boxing-fan's eye, all whiles being able to closed, created and controlled distance so masterfully, as if he was a mind reader. People often didn't know what they were watching. •$• He walked down a Miguel Cotto who was at his strongest weight and dominated him. •$• He took Mosley's best shot and almost got knocked down but instead, had his inner lion awakened and walked down a perplexed Mosley for pretty much 10 rounds straight. •$• He controlled Pacquiao, so much that one of the best fighters of recent history looked average. Pacquiao looked average against him. Average. Pacman who roughed up Thurman as an old man he was that good. •$ He made a mockery out of Canelo. And it had nothing to do with weight. Canelo could barely get near to him. He wasn't just beaten but it was pretty humiliating to the point it looked like a mismatch. •$• He lured De La Hoya into traps and broke De La Hoya down the stretch. De La Hoya was strong, fast, aggressive, fighting at his comfortable weight...and Mayweather made Oscar hesitate in coming in, the more straight rights he ate in the rounds, and the more energy he wasted in chasing an almost impossible to hit and hurt target. •$• He warred with Judah until Judah became a prisoner of war. •$• He beat Castillo one handed in their first fight and then mocked Castillo in their second fight. •$• He tamed the bull in Chino in arguably one of the toughest fights of the latter half of his career. •$• He shut out, lured, bullied and crushed Hatton, assinating the hitman with bullet after bullet, seizing the British boxer's unbeaten record and adding its first blemish. •$• Need I mention Gatti, Chop Chop, Marquez, Diego Corrales, Augustus, Guerrero and more? Guillermo Rigondeaux and other defensive wizards are textbook defensive. Lomachenko, again, superb offensive-defense. Mayweather, however, created his own book, combining techniques from Duran, James Toney (Floyd is lying if he says he never stole elements from Tony's off-the-ropes aggressive-offensive-defensive-counter-punching-philly-shell game), Bernard Hopkins, Pernell Whitaker, Chavez Sr, Ali, Archie Moore, Roy Jones...and uncle Roger and his dad. People didn't know which tactics Mayweather used because he honed multiple styles in order to craft his own, meaning he was almost impossible to train for: • Aggressive inside fighters; he answered with inside tricks, including his elbows • Come forward, power punchers; he diffused. • Got Speed? His timing nullified you • Slickness? Not many in the game have ever come close to the genius movement of Whittaker, so Floyd made sure noone Pernelled better than him • Awkward and unorthodox? He would take you to school Noone prepared for or had answers like he did. Not SRL, not Duran, not Hearns, not Hagler, not Tyson or even Ali. He took the best out of the best's games and became a game changer as far as being the best defensive/offensive fighter to be so rarely hit that commentators and fans got excited if they even saw blood or a clean shot land. And he was so good that people called and still call him boring. When the biggest in-the-ring adversity was taking his first, fully flush punch, in the second round, seeing his legs wobble, only to come back and not only win the round but shut Mosely down from that round onwards... we've lost a legend to retirement, and may only see fragments of his genius in Boots Ennis and Shakur Stevenson.
Shows you UK fans appreciate Floyd more than fight fans in the US. We as fight fans give props to any fighter who step in the ring, whereas US fans seem more concerned about picking sides! This is why boxing is so big here, we know our Boxing!!!
Well it is changing as Anthony Joshua, Anthony Crolla, Lee Selby James DeGale and many other wold champions are rising up form the UK with good boxing behind them. Too many casual fans who DKSAB in the US now. A lot of them buy into the fictional Rocky movies.
I think Floyd was pretty proud to say that Pacman was one of the best he ever faced by his reaction..and to know he beat him pretty easy just showed himself just how great he truly is
@ArtemisFowl and SchoolRumble fan-club How did you score it? Strangely enough i thought it was a draw. I slowed the fight down and took my time carefully watching the impact and accuracy of the punches thrown by each fighter. Takeaway? Floyd was more accurate but his punches never moved Manny. Manny was less accurate but his punches really moved Mayweather. Both fighters seemed to land close to as many punches, but they were thrown by each fighter with vastly different styles. This fight really confused me. I really couldnt see either opponent being defintitively victorious. So in my mind, i said draw--but in my heart of hearts--I still think Pacquiao. I just really admire his risks in the ring. Unbelievable that he went out like that against his biggest fight
@ArtemisFowl and SchoolRumble fan-club he lost…it’s not a fight it’s a boxing match…many was more active but Floyd landed more shots and his jab controlled the fight…manny tried to throw flurries but wasn’t connecting most of the time. Floyd kept interrupting his rhythm and wouldn’t let him set up…Floyd isn’t trying to beat you up he’s trying to out point you…he’s smart
@@MrSPIDEY21 Floyd ain’t trying to beat you up but then goes around telling everyone he beat Mannys ass. Real boxing fans know what an ass beating and that was far from it. If you read the guys comments above, he put real facts for you and you come here speaking opinions lol. The fight be slowed down and every single punch being counted tells the real story. Manny had more active hands and was the ring general because he pushed the action. Floyd lost that fight but won because it was held in his own backyard. Manny wanted the fight in Macau. It would make business sense because Macau has been generating more revenue than Vegas by a landslide ever since it opened. Floyd needs every advantage he can get. Ever notice how big the ring was? It was huge compared to normal size rings. Why? So Floyd can run and avoid Manny easier. Anyone who thinks Floyd really won had some financial stakes involved for Floyd to win, or is either black, or has some internal issues with Manny being an All Time Great
@@jamescaleb9676 lol..clinching is allowed in boxing..and no it wasn't excessive ..strategic more likely..shows Floyd is smart..still regardless...Floyd won...he took away Pacmans weapons...and if people can't understand using the ring for movement and setting traps and calling it running..then yeah they are just like the fighters that just like to come forward only..1 dimensional minded ...Floyd is a complete boxer get over it...he just went into the Boxing Hall of fame for a reason..they all recognize the greatness only some dummies don't.
*lock him up, which yes is the cliche, his plan was amazing, he used his reach advantage to pick at him from long range and when Manny got too close he cliched to reset and retain distance, that’s how a master boxer plays the game
@@williammckenzi5885 I can agree with some of that. Floyd has more money, but Manny definitely has more fans and definitey an all time Hero and Great. I like Manny much better as a person, but if I'm picking a boxing match, I'm going Floyd 10/10 times.
@@williammckenzi5885 what are you smoking? Floyd has more pay per view buys at 29 while manny has it at 22 (million). Floyd also did this in fewer fights. Stop capping
Brooke Pembroke that’s my point that manny sales regardless Floyd has to use famous Mexican fighters for big paydays when he fought berth he did like 600000 ppvs were manny fought clotted it did around 800000 so manny never needed mayweather smh mayweather said himself manny is a greatest of all time
William McKenzi what a stupid argument. Floyd and manny have fought some of the same fighters. I’d like to see who sold more for those fights. That’s a better comparison. Don’t you think? Not clottey and berto. Or attributing success to Mexicans. Why not compare hatton Floyd vs hatton pacquiao or Marques Floyd vs Marques pacquiao and so on. You give me those figures and we can discuss. That your homework. Later
@@ThaWoundedFox I'm no hater, I'm a fan of Mayweather, you can't deny his greatness in boxing. Even though you're a big fan of someone, you also have to learn to accept their flaws and not be bias. Don't let your idolisation overshadow your fair judgement. I really think Pacquiao won the fight over Floyd. No bias judgement coming from me coz I'm big Mayweather fan.
@@waterbender3874 you say you are not bias but you don't understand how fights are scored. Paquiao was thowing those same 10 punch flurries Oscar did when Floyd backed up to the ropes and most of the time only came away with 1 body shot, maybe two if lucky. Judges going to give Floyd more props for his defense than ineffective aggression of his opponent.
meanwhile pacquiao doesn't give respect to mayweather, doesn't even acknolwedge he lost. he has a humble persona, but no humility when faced with the ultimate truth
@@grawakendream8980 real shit right here. Talking about his arm was hurt. Man I tore my rotator cuff a few years ago and couldn’t lift my arm enough to eat normally but this dude can fight 12 rounds of boxing and raise his hands afterwards?? Lol no
Manny Pacquiao : The Best P4P Fighter in this Generation! Floyd Mayweather: The Best Pure Boxer That No One Will Ever Mimic its Perfection Give credit where credit is due. These two legends deserve it!
I watched the fight of pac and money a hundreds times, but still dont know how money won that fight.. if you counting all the jabs he threw converted it to powerpunch iguess.. pac landed more clear shots.. and money just land some and most of it on the gloves of manny.. but again compubox counts all as power punches and punches landed.. if you guys watch it again all he did was lockdown by hugging pac, and then judges see that as a clear win for mayweather... lol! Biggest cooking show of 20th century
watching his dad in the corner talking, his dad seemed a little paranoid. Floyd beat him easy every single round, manny had no answer for floyd that whole night but his dad was trippin lol
When Floyd says Manny was one of the best fighters he have ever faced you can see all the enthusiasm in his face, that was Floyd's genuine feelings and if you notice he snaps back into his Money Mayweather character to not give to much shine to Manny. Floyd knows they are tied together forever in history.
From the 2nd rd I notice Floyd's distance was a little further than he fought other fighters. Which took away Manny's jab and his opportunity to jump in the pocket and throw a bunch of shots
Floyd also seemed to stay away from the ropes a lot, he usually intentionally puts himself against the ropes but not in the Pac fight, he knew manny likes to throw like 7-10 punch combinations and staying near the ropes only makes it easier to land these combinations
@@IsraelTheChosen manny is faster than De La Hoya and Floyd probably realized that early on. He could’ve laid on the ropes and dodged like he usually does but it made more to sidestep and pivot because manny has the stamina to throw punches in bunches
@@IsraelTheChosen idiot. Manny is a southpaw and it is easier to connect left hand on an orthodox opponent. Floyd somehow did philly shell when he was at a comsiderable distance from pac, but once pac gets closer, floyd either clinch or go full defense (both arms cover). Oscar is a rightie. His power punch (right) finds it hard to penetrate the shell defemse due to the shoulder covering. For lefties like pac, philly shell is a perfect angle to launch that left.
anyone can do what mayweather does. at the end its like two fighters running from each other. imagine if pacquiao back pedaling the whole fight then no one would get hit.
@@xeuvia5298 when u winning niggas gone hate, like a pimp once said it thrills a bieeetch when you mess up. Apply that analogy in terms of people seeing you losing in life it thrills em
Because he experience a sparing match look at his face after nothing, floyd couldnt even land a decent shot on a lightweight or buckle manny..? He gives respect when its due but im sure he thanks him for that 100 million + payday thats for sure
I mean I see why... He don't view boxing the way we and Floyd do... As a sport... Manny views it as a fight and feels as if Floyd didn't hurt him and was the one refusing to fight... When in really Floyd was boxing beautifully taming the monster known as pacman
@@johnlewis399 We both have our opinions on the fight but you might want to watch the entire fight again and hopefully you'll see what I see. Keep in mind that I'm a fan of both fighters so my opinion is not at all bias.
I agree, floyd was able to use all the advantages he had against manny disadvantages. He made zero mistakes and thats why he won. May not be the most interesting to watch but floyd is one of the greatest.
The very best of his generation, incredible hand speed, sharp reflexes, ridiculous right had counter punch, , timing and most of all sixth sense defense. Pretty boy all offensive, later yrs , Money Mayweather defensive genius.
He cared about his career by picking an opponent and making sure that he would win. He never came towards the country of his opponent that might be a chance that he can lose. He's not the icon of Boxing. People hate him because his fighting style is not a real fighter. He uses his defense style the most rather than the offensive style and makes wins. Unlike Pacquiao, the people impressed how great he was. Pacquiao was not a cherry picker. Whatever the promoter said he obeyed it and fought who's opponent was available.
@nathanhymphone2487 Manny is great, but he's easy to figure out. Floyd never studied tape. He left that to his father and late Uncle Roger. Most likely they were the ones who noticed that Manny has to set up, and they helped Floyd come up with the strategy to beat him
Or Maybe Manny explains on how he kept on falling for Mayweathers teachique. Mayweather was keeping his distance and using his reach by hitting Manny with straight rights and left jabs. All i saw was Manny spending most of the fight chasing Floyd and running into his punches. YOu don't win a 12 round fight by only winning 3 rounds and constantly walking into someones punches hence why he lost. Learn boxing before making up corny excuses.
Floyd has meta mechanics (strategy to take advantage) while Pac has power speed and passion. Either way, they both are legendary. This vid was a year ago but TH-cam recommended me so ill spit a say.
Great video. Mayweather fought the way he wanted. People cant understand boxing isnt just all about attacking. All they want to see is offense. Boxing does entertain but it is a sport, a competition, boxers play for themselves not to entertain the fans.
That fight with manny is the fight that I finally gave manny full respect. I thought he was using Steroid all along because of Mayweather accusation, turned out he was so very very skilled an equal or more to Floyd. When you watch the fight now that all things have calm down. You could see floyd can't hit him. he is indeed crafty, fought floyd's style and yet floyd can't hit him. Suddenly he had become a defensive genius in that fight. We are all so focus on manny not hitting floyd, but now that everything has calmed down, watch the tape and you could see floyd hardly hit him. That is no steroid power, that is pure SKILL. His reflex are so phenomenal, he could counter floyd with a lead left, that's a detail a casual would not notice. He could match floyd timing by timing, position by position, accuracy by accuracy, elusiveness by elusiveness. There is nothing floyd could do that manny does not do well. That's why the fight because ugly because they are both so superlatively great that they cancelled both each other out.
Not true. Manny is very good but he is neither equal nor better than Floyd. Floyd caught him many times with really hard shots. Manny only caught Floyd with the single clear punch whose clip all you Manny fans love to show. Manny was made to look very average that night, and the three rounds out of 12 that he won were actually every round they could have awarded him - not necessarily because he deserved them, and he still lost by 9 rounds out of 12! Don't be sore losers like Manny, be classy like Floyd, and admit that the man is simply TBE!
You are desperately delusional! Floyd landed 148 punches while Manny did only 81. You must have been watching the fight cross eyed, drunk and high on meth!
battle of the Grand Masters! its look like a chess match! two fighters with a different fighting style. Floyd as a defensive fighter and Manny as a offensive fighter.
I'm a Pac fan mayweather won fair and square all the people saying manny won are bitter and deluded he's the one of the best fighters of my generation , respect 👊
Floyd is best at working the point system in boxing. Which is very disappointing because it doesn't turn out to be an exciting fight All Floyd does is connect as much as possible and most of those are just taps Yes he is the best boxer but that's because he doesn't fight he plays the game Most people want to see a real fight where boxers keep going until either one gets knocked out or throws in the towel. But sadly Floyd will never fight like that Floyd style doesn't make for an exciting fight but he has the hight chance of winning. Manny tries his best and win or lose its always a fun fight to watch
What fight did you watched? If someone got hurt in the fight it was floyd in rounds 4 and 6. Floyd didnt know what to do during rounds 6,7,8 and 9 lmao.
@xavierdeguzman7894 Boxing is a sport. Like most sports (football, basketball, etc.), it's based on points. If you don't like that, then choose another sport. Go watch a bar brawl maybe.
People thinking this guy is the best ever, are blown. Most accomplished boxer ever? possibly. But not even close to being the best boxer ever. Not even half his fights are knockouts/TKOs. He picks fighter WHEN HE wants to fight them. He delayed Pacquiao ti'll he had lost 40% of his speed. He fought Canelo at such an early age he lacked experience. If he fought Canelo around this time, the fight would look totally different. He simply lost to Castillo. Don't believe me? go watch the fight. And yet people call this TBE? omg... go watch Lomachenko, go look at how he mentally destroy his opponents, go look at GGG, how he punches their faces into the next universe. Look at the speed of Pacquiao from 2000-2010. Floyd did fint a loophole. How he can hold out and use the clock as his friend in a boxing match. So for that I respect him, how composed he is. But he lost possibly 4 fights of his career, and if anything the corrupted judges ALWAYS had his back, ready to put some fake points up in this bitch. How can anyone possibly say he has the best footwork they've ever seen? the best punches? best accuracy? strongest chin? hardest puncher? He might have the best defence. But that's it. People call him the best ever cuz he's ON PAPER, 50-0. Get your finger out of his ass. I'd put in on top 15 best boxer of all time. Not even close to top 5. That's the truth, deal with it.
Agreed. Floyd is too smart for the world of boxing and stupid fans. But to his credit Floyd is a smart man who handled his career and his fights very wisely. He picked up the right fights at the right time like you said. Floyd is the best fighter ever on paper indeed but there is a reason why so many people dont give him all the credit, there is no fire without smoke.
Floyd loves to button his shirts up to the top. One of those things I observe... I love the man! Speaks his mind, not afraid to be himself even if it means going against the grain.
The UK fans understand the art of boxing. Most of us fans in the States want an action fight. Don’t appreciate the cerebral planning and execution of said plan. Floyd’s boxing iq is at Mensa level
It took me a while to realize the greatness in his style & his right, it may be boring or not the most fun to watch but it’s smart & which is why his undefeated. & he never once said he beat the shit out of manny or anything. He just said he boxes better which is true.
Floyd is not boring. He was NEVER a boring fighter. But the media conditioned our minds to think and believe his style of fighting is boring. These same media and fans who says Floyd is boring is praising other defensive greats like Pep, Locche, Whitaker and Zapata. In fact, I believe that there's no boring fighter. There's only bad or lazy media or promotion. Most media today, if not bias and/or paid, are so lazy to promote a boxer or make the fans appreciate a boxers. In the old days, commentary like Don Dunphy will make any fight interesting even if it's against two defensive boxer. But today, no one do that.
All Manny and Roach had to do in 2009 was agree to random blood testing. That's it. IT. There is even a video from this same Q&A that goes over it in case you slept on this drama a decade ago. I'm not being disrespectful, but I've read, watched, and heard far too many perspectives about that situation to be convinced otherwise. And honestly, I don't blame anyone who suspected Manny of potentially juicing. I am not saying I 100% believe he did, but at the same time, I remember Pacquiao in the late 90's-early 2000's when he was 126 lbs when he was all speed and volume. Then all the sudden in 2008 he balloons up to 147 and begins an epic run of starching the biggest names between Oscar, Shane, etc., showing more power and pop than ever before? It's a little odd. I love watching him and respect Manny as a bonafide great of his generation, but I also understand why there was suspicion -- though one could argue a guy no longer killing himself to make weight is a huge benefit in terms of health and power.
To all Flomos that called him a technical mastermind, he just confirmed the grab and hold which was atleast 50% of the fight. On a sidenote though, I respect Mayweather's bluntness. He knows boxing is over so for once he's completely honest...
So what you want to do? Let Manny come in and land shots? I swear you guys never laced up a pair of gloves in your entire life. I beg you PLEASE come to a boxing gym and fight your way. Don't dodge, don't hold, don't block don't do anything. Just fight your way and I bet you'll get all of your teeth knocked out of your mouth
Boxing ability aside, it's interesting to observe the mindset of a tireless self-promoter. When he is asked to name his toughtest opponents, that is tacitly taken by Mayweather to be a way for him to promote them. When he has given those opponents their props he realizes that he cannot leave it at that and so he must self-promote and reiterate his supriority over all of those opponents.
He knows how to use his size and the rules. This is what Max Kellerman is talking about. If only pacquiao would have the same height and reach, then we’ll talk about it differently.
It's called clinching. It's a fundamental defensive tactic. If you want to see a fighter who clinched in his career waaaaay more than Mayweather, watch old Ali fights.
people keep dissing flloyed for how he fights he trained to beat the opponents in a boxing style . its not about who can box the hardest its about who can not get punched and survive the rounds and run up the points . clever man . and finally 49-0 and 700 million in the bank . all i can say is let the haters talk lol .
Mayweather lost to Manny. Floyd ran and held every round, knowing that he was going to win a decision if he stayed on his feet. Mayweather Productions hired the punch star guy and the judges. Nothing was left to chance for Floyd wanting to stay undefeated. So he cheated. Manny beat Floyd easily. Deep down, though he'd never admit it, Floyd knows he lost. A fighter knows. Like Manny said after the fight, "he didn't do anything".
Manny a damn joke and a sore loser. You conspiracy theorists are hilarious, show one thread of proof Floyd did any of that b.s you rappin about. You won't because you can't, furthermore this racist ass country and all the systems within it would rather piss on Floyd's money rather than loosing the opportunity to see a black great champion fall
Exactly! He don't do nothing, he know the judges are gonna do the job in his favor, so he just box and play defence but how you can win a fight just with that without throw punches? That bullshit of compubox sugest floyd throw more than manny, boxing is so corrupt, at least um glad the people shou discontent about judges decition, people know manny won, except for maywether's fans of course, they prefer keep belive in his own lies and think maywether is really undefeated
1:08 that's exactly what happened pacquiao couldn't get off any shots because Floyd Clinches immediately because he knows if he Chills in the shoulder roll position pacquiao Will land shots from Crazy Ass Angles pacquiaos offence is deadly mayweather is very intelligent
The man just exudes class here... he doesn’t always - when on that hype train that boxing has become etc however, here he is like he is in the ring... smooth, slick, poised and just so, so classy. Best exponent of the Philly shell defence and best boxing IQ and movement I’ve seen. 👍🏴
This is definitely a back handed compliment lol.He exudes class but bot always..Has any modern fighter been under the microscope and been attacked by the media and fans as much as Mayweather. THE MEDIA HAS KIED ON HIM, MISLEAD THE PUBLIC, ATTACKED HIS INTEGRITY, BELITTLED HIS WINSNAND ACCOMPLISHMENTS....HOW WOULD YOU HOLD UP. WOULD YOU ALWAYS BE CLASSY WHEN THE WORLD IS SLINGING MUD YOUR WAY
Floyd is so smart bro people don’t realize at the end of the day all of this legacy is good, but it won’t make you a billionaire, he chose the right time to fight all these guys at the moment where it’s the least risk to his record and by doing that he’s been able to look spectacular while being able to keep his brand by being undefeated and no one can argue about it cause no one beat him. Good job Floyd
Manny didn't have to fight Floyd in 2016. The smartest move would have been for Manny to keep avoiding OST. I'm guessing he finally agreed to OST because he wanted the money. If not, why risk fighting a skilled technician like Mayweather?
Did you hear what floyd said ? SMART, floyd was just the smartest with all the abilities he had ,legs ,reach, decent power, quickness, skills but the main thing is his IQ !! he forgot to talk about the straight right hand which landed all night !!
for all the people say mayweather beats pacquiao is wrong, u can see if u watch the fight pacquiao landed more shots than floyd, all landed shots by floyd is counter and jab but doesn’t hurt pacquiao he’s always running and hug cause why? he hurts on pacquiao punches, maybe let’s say mayweather win by landing more punches than pacquiao, but he doesn’t not beat pacquiao or even hurt him at all, do u think if pacquiao hurts by floyd he’s always engaging and being aggresive? floyd chose not to fight, even evander holyfield, thought pacquiao won, he can take the win by the decision of judges, but in the eyes and heart of most of the people, pacquiao won.
"They say he wants a rematch..."
"Don't they all?"
CLASSIC!

•$• He walked down a Miguel Cotto who was at his strongest weight and dominated him.
•$• He took Mosley's best shot and almost got knocked down but instead, had his inner lion awakened and walked down a perplexed Mosley for pretty much 10 rounds straight.
•$• He controlled Pacquiao, so much that one of the best fighters of recent history looked average. Pacquiao looked average against him. Average. Pacman who roughed up Thurman as an old man he was that good.
•$ He made a mockery out of Canelo. And it had nothing to do with weight. Canelo could barely get near to him. He wasn't just beaten but it was pretty humiliating to the point it looked like a mismatch.
•$• He lured De La Hoya into traps and broke De La Hoya down the stretch. De La Hoya was strong, fast, aggressive, fighting at his comfortable weight...and Mayweather made Oscar hesitate in coming in, the more straight rights he ate in the rounds, and the more energy he wasted in chasing an almost impossible to hit and hurt target.
•$• He warred with Judah until Judah became a prisoner of war.
•$• He beat Castillo one handed in their first fight and then mocked Castillo in their second fight.

Guillermo Rigondeaux and other defensive wizards are textbook defensive. Lomachenko, again, superb offensive-defense. Mayweather, however, created his own book, combining techniques from Duran, James Toney (Floyd is lying if he says he never stole elements from Tony's off-the-ropes aggressive-offensive-defensive-counter-punching-philly-shell game), Bernard Hopkins, Pernell Whitaker, Chavez Sr, Ali, Archie Moore, Roy Jones...and uncle Roger and his dad. People didn't know which tactics Mayweather used because he honed multiple styles in order to craft his own, meaning he was almost impossible to train for:
• Aggressive inside fighters; he answered with inside tricks, including his elbows
• Come forward, power punchers; he diffused.
• Got Speed? His timing nullified you
• Slickness? Not many in the game have ever come close to the genius movement of Whittaker, so Floyd made sure noone Pernelled better than him
• Awkward and unorthodox? He would take you to school
Noone prepared for or had answers like he did. Not SRL, not Duran, not Hearns, not Hagler, not Tyson or even Ali. He took the best out of the best's games and became a game changer as far as being the best defensive/offensive fighter to be so rarely hit that commentators and fans got excited if they even saw blood or a clean shot land. And he was so good that people called and still call him boring.
When the biggest in-the-ring adversity was taking his first, fully flush punch, in the second round, seeing his legs wobble, only to come back and not only win the round but shut Mosely down from that round onwards... we've lost a legend to retirement, and may only see fragments of his genius in Boots Ennis and Shakur Stevenson.
Somebody with sense, this is treasure.
Your A professional at breaking that down.... Excellent work! This was a great description

I'm so surprised I'm hearing this from Floyd, and he seems genuine about it.
Shows you UK fans appreciate Floyd more than fight fans in the US. We as fight fans give props to any fighter who step in the ring, whereas US fans seem more concerned about picking sides! This is why boxing is so big here, we know our Boxing!!!
Mohammed Khan You might be right about the hate, but you know that negative is a factor for why U.S. fighters are bred to have exceptional pedigree.
#YKSAB
Well it is changing as Anthony Joshua, Anthony Crolla, Lee Selby James DeGale and many other wold champions are rising up form the UK with good boxing behind them. Too many casual fans who DKSAB in the US now. A lot of them buy into the fictional Rocky movies.
Mohammed Khan zzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzz Floyd's fights
Yes , generalizing things is usually spot on.
I think Floyd was pretty proud to say that Pacman was one of the best he ever faced by his reaction..and to know he beat him pretty easy just showed himself just how great he truly is
@ArtemisFowl and SchoolRumble fan-club How did you score it? Strangely enough i thought it was a draw. I slowed the fight down and took my time carefully watching the impact and accuracy of the punches thrown by each fighter. Takeaway? Floyd was more accurate but his punches never moved Manny. Manny was less accurate but his punches really moved Mayweather. Both fighters seemed to land close to as many punches, but they were thrown by each fighter with vastly different styles. This fight really confused me. I really couldnt see either opponent being defintitively victorious. So in my mind, i said draw--but in my heart of hearts--I still think Pacquiao. I just really admire his risks in the ring. Unbelievable that he went out like that against his biggest fight
@ArtemisFowl and SchoolRumble fan-club he lost…it’s not a fight it’s a boxing match…many was more active but Floyd landed more shots and his jab controlled the fight…manny tried to throw flurries but wasn’t connecting most of the time. Floyd kept interrupting his rhythm and wouldn’t let him set up…Floyd isn’t trying to beat you up he’s trying to out point you…he’s smart
@@MrSPIDEY21 Floyd ain’t trying to beat you up but then goes around telling everyone he beat Mannys ass. Real boxing fans know what an ass beating and that was far from it. If you read the guys comments above, he put real facts for you and you come here speaking opinions lol. The fight be slowed down and every single punch being counted tells the real story. Manny had more active hands and was the ring general because he pushed the action. Floyd lost that fight but won because it was held in his own backyard. Manny wanted the fight in Macau. It would make business sense because Macau has been generating more revenue than Vegas by a landslide ever since it opened. Floyd needs every advantage he can get. Ever notice how big the ring was? It was huge compared to normal size rings. Why? So Floyd can run and avoid Manny easier. Anyone who thinks Floyd really won had some financial stakes involved for Floyd to win, or is either black, or has some internal issues with Manny being an All Time Great
running holding is not winning except in the crooked sport of boxing.
@@jamescaleb9676 lol..clinching is allowed in boxing..and no it wasn't excessive ..strategic more likely..shows Floyd is smart..still regardless...Floyd won...he took away Pacmans weapons...and if people can't understand using the ring for movement and setting traps and calling it running..then yeah they are just like the fighters that just like to come forward only..1 dimensional minded ...Floyd is a complete boxer get over it...he just went into the Boxing Hall of fame for a reason..they all recognize the greatness only some dummies don't.
1:07 "and when he gets too close, I'll hug him up" is what I heard.
haha..thats what i heard too
*lock him up, which yes is the cliche, his plan was amazing, he used his reach advantage to pick at him from long range and when Manny got too close he cliched to reset and retain distance, that’s how a master boxer plays the game

@@williammckenzi5885 what are you smoking? Floyd has more pay per view buys at 29 while manny has it at 22 (million). Floyd also did this in fewer fights. Stop capping
Brooke Pembroke that’s my point that manny sales regardless Floyd has to use famous Mexican fighters for big paydays when he fought berth he did like 600000 ppvs were manny fought clotted it did around 800000 so manny never needed mayweather smh mayweather said himself manny is a greatest of all time
William McKenzi what a stupid argument. Floyd and manny have fought some of the same fighters. I’d like to see who sold more for those fights. That’s a better comparison. Don’t you think? Not clottey and berto. Or attributing success to Mexicans. Why not compare hatton Floyd vs hatton pacquiao or Marques Floyd vs Marques pacquiao and so on. You give me those figures and we can discuss. That your homework. Later

@So Cool1 bro it goes to show you how butthurt people are over floyd and cant get over it that he beat the best fighters in the ring
watching his dad in the corner talking, his dad seemed a little paranoid. Floyd beat him easy every single round, manny had no answer for floyd that whole night but his dad was trippin lol
When Floyd says Manny was one of the best fighters he have ever faced you can see all the enthusiasm in his face, that was Floyd's genuine feelings and if you notice he snaps back into his Money Mayweather character to not give to much shine to Manny. Floyd knows they are tied together forever in history.
From the 2nd rd I notice Floyd's distance was a little further than he fought other fighters. Which took away Manny's jab and his opportunity to jump in the pocket and throw a bunch of shots
Floyd also seemed to stay away from the ropes a lot, he usually intentionally puts himself against the ropes but not in the Pac fight, he knew manny likes to throw like 7-10 punch combinations and staying near the ropes only makes it easier to land these combinations
@@sharinngan5084 Oscar Dela Hoya tried the same thing against Floyd and Floyd still won. Most of Manny’s punches would’ve hit Floyd’s arm or elbows
@@IsraelTheChosen manny is faster than De La Hoya and Floyd probably realized that early on. He could’ve laid on the ropes and dodged like he usually does but it made more to sidestep and pivot because manny has the stamina to throw punches in bunches
@@IsraelTheChosen idiot. Manny is a southpaw and it is easier to connect left hand on an orthodox opponent. Floyd somehow did philly shell when he was at a comsiderable distance from pac, but once pac gets closer, floyd either clinch or go full defense (both arms cover).
Oscar is a rightie. His power punch (right) finds it hard to penetrate the shell defemse due to the shoulder covering. For lefties like pac, philly shell is a perfect angle to launch that left.
But still close enough to allow Floyd to potshot Manny all night.
Everyone that fights Mayweather end up falling into Mayweather's fight...
anyone can do what mayweather does. at the end its like two fighters running from each other. imagine if pacquiao back pedaling the whole fight then no one would get hit.

Manny doesn't need a rematch. He needs judges that don't have their heads up their asses.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Every score card says he won fairly
How could you hate on this black man who came from nothing and achieved greatness??! Literally the best ever!!
I’m glad Floyd is getting the respect he deserves. He is the GOAT! 🐐
He comes across as very polished and accomplished in this (and many, many other) recent interviews. Pleasure to watch him speak - and of course, box.
😂 i dont see how you can hate on this man
Neither do i....When ur great people always hate, when you die, that's when you get the actual respect and love
I agree, floyd was able to use all the advantages he had against manny disadvantages. He made zero mistakes and thats why he won. May not be the most interesting to watch but floyd is one of the greatest.
floyd said "one of the best fighters i ever faced" didnt blink once
one of isn't accurate. The BEST, is.
Exactly
But he's so crafty, he only had to find one thing...Manny has to set up.
The very best of his generation, incredible hand speed, sharp reflexes, ridiculous right had counter punch, , timing and most of all sixth sense defense.
Pretty boy all offensive, later yrs , Money Mayweather defensive genius.
He cared about his career by picking an opponent and making sure that he would win. He never came towards the country of his opponent that might be a chance that he can lose. He's not the icon of Boxing. People hate him because his fighting style is not a real fighter. He uses his defense style the most rather than the offensive style and makes wins. Unlike Pacquiao, the people impressed how great he was. Pacquiao was not a cherry picker. Whatever the promoter said he obeyed it and fought who's opponent was available.
@nathanhymphone2487 Manny is great, but he's easy to figure out. Floyd never studied tape. He left that to his father and late Uncle Roger. Most likely they were the ones who noticed that Manny has to set up, and they helped Floyd come up with the strategy to beat him
Love him or hate him, he gave Pacquiao his flowers even after he beat him.
Im glad floyd respects the sport so much to acknowledge the greatness in the boxers dat hes fought...he is such a wizard in the ring
Floyd explains how he ran from manny
Or Maybe Manny explains on how he kept on falling for Mayweathers teachique. Mayweather was keeping his distance and using his reach by hitting Manny with straight rights and left jabs. All i saw was Manny spending most of the fight chasing Floyd and running into his punches. YOu don't win a 12 round fight by only winning 3 rounds and constantly walking into someones punches hence why he lost. Learn boxing before making up corny excuses.
You are a brick

Floyd Mayweather is full of charisma.
He wouldnt be the biggest PPV star in the sporting history if he wasnt.
Great video. Mayweather fought the way he wanted. People cant understand boxing isnt just all about attacking. All they want to see is offense. Boxing does entertain but it is a sport, a competition, boxers play for themselves not to entertain the fans.
You avoided the Prime Pacman for 5 years. Now agian you avoided a rematch with him.
That fight with manny is the fight that I finally gave manny full respect. I thought he was using Steroid all along because of Mayweather accusation, turned out he was so very very skilled an equal or more to Floyd. When you watch the fight now that all things have calm down. You could see floyd can't hit him. he is indeed crafty, fought floyd's style and yet floyd can't hit him. Suddenly he had become a defensive genius in that fight. We are all so focus on manny not hitting floyd, but now that everything has calmed down, watch the tape and you could see floyd hardly hit him. That is no steroid power, that is pure SKILL. His reflex are so phenomenal, he could counter floyd with a lead left, that's a detail a casual would not notice. He could match floyd timing by timing, position by position, accuracy by accuracy, elusiveness by elusiveness. There is nothing floyd could do that manny does not do well. That's why the fight because ugly because they are both so superlatively great that they cancelled both each other out.
Not true. Manny is very good but he is neither equal nor better than Floyd. Floyd caught him many times with really hard shots. Manny only caught Floyd with the single clear punch whose clip all you Manny fans love to show. Manny was made to look very average that night, and the three rounds out of 12 that he won were actually every round they could have awarded him - not necessarily because he deserved them, and he still lost by 9 rounds out of 12! Don't be sore losers like Manny, be classy like Floyd, and admit that the man is simply TBE!
You are desperately delusional! Floyd landed 148 punches while Manny did only 81. You must have been watching the fight cross eyed, drunk and high on meth!

Um...he's older than Pac. 😂😂😂😂
People thinking this guy is the best ever, are blown. Most accomplished boxer ever? possibly. But not even close to being the best boxer ever. Not even half his fights are knockouts/TKOs. He picks fighter WHEN HE wants to fight them. He delayed Pacquiao ti'll he had lost 40% of his speed. He fought Canelo at such an early age he lacked experience. If he fought Canelo around this time, the fight would look totally different. He simply lost to Castillo. Don't believe me? go watch the fight.
And yet people call this TBE? omg... go watch Lomachenko, go look at how he mentally destroy his opponents, go look at GGG, how he punches their faces into the next universe. Look at the speed of Pacquiao from 2000-2010.
Floyd did fint a loophole. How he can hold out and use the clock as his friend in a boxing match. So for that I respect him, how composed he is. But he lost possibly 4 fights of his career, and if anything the corrupted judges ALWAYS had his back, ready to put some fake points up in this bitch. How can anyone possibly say he has the best footwork they've ever seen? the best punches? best accuracy? strongest chin? hardest puncher? He might have the best defence. But that's it. People call him the best ever cuz he's ON PAPER, 50-0. Get your finger out of his ass. I'd put in on top 15 best boxer of all time. Not even close to top 5. That's the truth, deal with it.

Agreed. Floyd is too smart for the world of boxing and stupid fans. But to his credit Floyd is a smart man who handled his career and his fights very wisely.

It took me a while to realize the greatness in his style & his right, it may be boring or not the most fun to watch but it’s smart & which is why his undefeated. & he never once said he beat the shit out of manny or anything. He just said he boxes better which is true.
Floyd is not boring. He was NEVER a boring fighter. But the media conditioned our minds to think and believe his style of fighting is boring. These same media and fans who says Floyd is boring is praising other defensive greats like Pep, Locche, Whitaker and Zapata. In fact, I believe that there's no boring fighter. There's only bad or lazy media or promotion. Most media today, if not bias and/or paid, are so lazy to promote a boxer or make the fans appreciate a boxers. In the old days, commentary like Don Dunphy will make any fight interesting even if it's against two defensive boxer. But today, no one do that.
That was a gameplan with years in the making. STEP 1: Wait till he is past-prime.
STEP 2: Hold and run.
All Manny and Roach had to do in 2009 was agree to random blood testing. That's it. IT. There is even a video from this same Q&A that goes over it in case you slept on this drama a decade ago. I'm not being disrespectful, but I've read, watched, and heard far too many perspectives about that situation to be convinced otherwise. And honestly, I don't blame anyone who suspected Manny of potentially juicing. I am not saying I 100% believe he did, but at the same time, I remember Pacquiao in the late 90's-early 2000's when he was 126 lbs when he was all speed and volume. Then all the sudden in 2008 he balloons up to 147 and begins an epic run of starching the biggest names between Oscar, Shane, etc., showing more power and pop than ever before? It's a little odd. I love watching him and respect Manny as a bonafide great of his generation, but I also understand why there was suspicion -- though one could argue a guy no longer killing himself to make weight is a huge benefit in terms of health and power.
To all Flomos that called him a technical mastermind, he just confirmed the grab and hold which was atleast 50% of the fight. On a sidenote though, I respect Mayweather's bluntness. He knows boxing is over so for once he's completely honest...

Boxing ability aside, it's interesting to observe the mindset of a tireless self-promoter. When he is asked to name his toughtest opponents, that is tacitly taken by Mayweather to be a way for him to promote them. When he has given those opponents their props he realizes that he cannot leave it at that and so he must self-promote and reiterate his supriority over all of those opponents.
He used the PRR Method.

Mayweather lost to Manny. Floyd ran and held every round, knowing that he was going to win a decision if he stayed on his feet. Mayweather Productions hired the punch star guy and the judges. Nothing was left to chance for Floyd wanting to stay undefeated. So he cheated. Manny beat Floyd easily. Deep down, though he'd never admit it, Floyd knows he lost. A fighter knows. Like Manny said after the fight, "he didn't do anything".
Manny a damn joke and a sore loser. You conspiracy theorists are hilarious, show one thread of proof Floyd did any of that b.s you rappin about. You won't because you can't, furthermore this racist ass country and all the systems within it would rather piss on Floyd's money rather than loosing the opportunity to see a black great champion fall
Steve Wildasin haters (like you) will say anything outta emotion instead of living in reality. It's hilariously sad
Exactly! He don't do nothing, he know the judges are gonna do the job in his favor, so he just box and play defence but how you can win a fight just with that without throw punches? That bullshit of compubox sugest floyd throw more than manny, boxing is so corrupt, at least um glad the people shou discontent about judges decition, people know manny won, except for maywether's fans of course, they prefer keep belive in his own lies and think maywether is really undefeated
1:08 that's exactly what happened pacquiao couldn't get off any shots because Floyd Clinches immediately because he knows if he Chills in the shoulder roll position pacquiao Will land shots from Crazy Ass Angles pacquiaos offence is deadly mayweather is very intelligent
is amir khan watching
No because his Chin doesn't hold up to viewing TH-cam videos lol.
Senay Yemane Manny isn't fighting Amir Khan.
Salute to the #1 fastest runner in boxing 😅
The man just exudes class here... he doesn’t always - when on that hype train that boxing has become etc however, here he is like he is in the ring... smooth, slick, poised and just so, so classy. Best exponent of the Philly shell defence and best boxing IQ and movement I’ve seen. 👍🏴
This is definitely a back handed compliment lol.He exudes class but bot always..Has any modern fighter been under the microscope and been attacked by the media and fans as much as Mayweather. THE MEDIA HAS KIED ON HIM, MISLEAD THE PUBLIC, ATTACKED HIS INTEGRITY, BELITTLED HIS WINSNAND ACCOMPLISHMENTS....HOW WOULD YOU HOLD UP. WOULD YOU ALWAYS BE CLASSY WHEN THE WORLD IS SLINGING MUD YOUR WAY
If you're gonna upload almost every hour, at least learn how to spell Pacquiao's name.
He was agressive to others but not to pacquaio idk why. It would be entertaining if he fight toe to toe.
He isn't aggressive in his career Floyd has become a defense genius avoiding unnecessary slug fest.
His best technique, was to fight scared that night ... And he won by UD with a big margin ...
He meant " all I did was run run and hug"💀
When he ran manny chased him and by chasing him kept getting punched for letting his guard down
@@Region8gaming pussy
Floyd: all I have to do is to run and if he catch me i hug him.. Coz I love him😂😂😂😂
You conveniently left out that Floyd landed more punches on Manny than Manny landed on Floyd.
Floyd is so smart bro people don’t realize at the end of the day all of this legacy is good, but it won’t make you a billionaire, he chose the right time to fight all these guys at the moment where it’s the least risk to his record and by doing that he’s been able to look spectacular while being able to keep his brand by being undefeated and no one can argue about it cause no one beat him. Good job Floyd
Manny didn't have to fight Floyd in 2016. The smartest move would have been for Manny to keep avoiding OST. I'm guessing he finally agreed to OST because he wanted the money. If not, why risk fighting a skilled technician like Mayweather?
cause he was hugging him the entire time
The thing is...You didn’t beat Manny. The judges beat Manny.
Did you hear what floyd said ? SMART, floyd was just the smartest with all the abilities he had ,legs ,reach, decent power, quickness, skills but the main thing is his IQ !! he forgot to talk about the straight right hand which landed all night !!
Clinch, run, jab, clinch, run
Repeat until bell rings
Repeat 12x
What kind of beat you said, pacquiao won the fight.
Floyd Mayweather Blessed ♥️♥️
Floydmayweather is afraid of rematch 😂
Mayweather only gave a rematch only to an opponent who gave him a hard time like castilo and maidana but paqcuiao is easywork
@@who_am_ii yes reply to the 3 year old comment
@@oyra3567 what the matter?there is no late in explaining to people
yes rematch 2nd fight floyd vs pacman
for all the people say mayweather beats pacquiao is wrong, u can see if u watch the fight pacquiao landed more shots than floyd, all landed shots by floyd is counter and jab but doesn’t hurt pacquiao he’s always running and hug cause why? he hurts on pacquiao punches, maybe let’s say mayweather win by landing more punches than pacquiao, but he doesn’t not beat pacquiao or even hurt him at all, do u think if pacquiao hurts by floyd he’s always engaging and being aggresive? floyd chose not to fight, even evander holyfield, thought pacquiao won, he can take the win by the decision of judges, but in the eyes and heart of most of the people, pacquiao won.
Your strategy is :
- running
- hugging
- paying the judge
- always fight at your cesspool las vegas
