You know you are a real champ when after 19 years as a champion people talk about one punch that hit you, even though it failed to put you on the canvas.
I'll correct myself, just one knockdown vs hernandez. He also was legally knocked down by Zab Judah but the ref missed it. I thought Corley knocked him down also but I was wrong not 2 knockdowns, just the one. I'm not trying to diss Floyd, he's an all time great and probably the best defensive fighter of all time. I was just pointing out that he was knocked down b4.
@Kelso lowk Maidana was robbed in the first fight even though a lot of his shots weren't landing clean they were wild shots coming from awkward angles and I never seen floyd put himself in a position where he let his opponent take control. Obviously it was part of the plan but still he won it by controversial decision
"You have got to be able to adjust" . Words to live by from one of the greatest boxers in history. His ring resume is probably unmatched in the modern era. A 135 pounder being discussed as one of the best at 147. Discipline and talent is a crazy combination on any walk of life.
I remember when he went into the corner and his Uncle told him "Its time to box that motherfucker now" Floyd came out and gave Shane the business after that.
@@JawnWick86 maybe the fact he ran in circles the whole fight or acted like his hand were chewed by a wild dog when maidana had a mouth piece, glove , and padding to go through
@@msr187 how long you been watching boxing? you might want to re-watch that fight floyd didn't run. nobody in the world would have the record he has by running and not actually throwing punches. People said he ran vs canelo and thats why he won lmaoo casual fans are a fucking cancer. Re-watch the fight he whooped maidana like a mf both fights,the 2nd fight was more clear
Floyd getting clocked HARD twice by Mosley was one of his greatest moments in his career, maybe the greatest. I've never seen such resilience in a fighter. His boxing IQ wasn't lost at all when being on the verge of being KOed. Unbelievable stuff.
yet he lost... several times... and of course, people are gonna say he didnt lost, that its about the eye of the beholder, and if you insist you may even be acused of being racist, just cuz people dont agree... profaned person this floyd jr. mayweather was... he didnt just box (and run), but he also mistreated and cursed at opponents... not the first one by the way... muhammad ali did so as well, micahel tyson did so as well... adrian broner... and a whole list of people behaved this way... muhammad ali also... i mean, people dont like that truth... they like their truth....
jesus7es7dios7 who gives a fuck if he curses at opponents he still backs it up and wins how come when McGregor curses at his opponents people laugh and praise him?
He Andre and Bernard have extremely high boxing IQs and have a lot of boxing knowledge for the young cats. Think about their careers Floyd was stopping cats at 130, Hop was stopping cats at 160 but they were not heavy handed dudes,so as they moved up not many KOs were jumpin off. Craftiness heart and defense got them to the top...
Floyd Mayweather is the MASTER of the "Pull Counter" technique. He uses it to perfection. His "Check Hook" is no joke either...just ask Ricky Hatton. LOL
As you can now see, and as Mayweather fans have been trying to tell people all along, Money Mayweather was a marketing ploy that A) assured him long-term success 2) made his opponents think he was being childish instead of working hard, 3) Enticed fighters who despised him to come after him harder, which fit his style better.
Bill Payer it made floyd the villain and even being hated so much worked to his advantage. Fighters like mosley would go to the press conferences with a huge crowd cheering for them, ultimately boosting their pre fight ego which carries over to the ring as floyd said "the fans cant fight for you"
People are just so blind their hate for mayweather made him extremely wealthy and they are going to do it again with May pac 2 this dude is a boxing genius the only way to beat him is to get someone in the ring with a similar inring iq not happening
Peace Maker people literally do not understand that everything Floyd does is a tactic, he is the epitome of a boxing genius in and out of the ring. I truly believe most his fights that he can finish the fights a lot earlier and KO more people in the 2nd half of his career but I also truly believe that he didn’t purposely because he was in such great shape that he enjoyed going to full 12 rounds and outboxing everyone. You gotta ask yourself why hardly anyone asks for a rematch with Mayweather? Because he made them work their ass off for months and months in camp and then go the full 12 rounds and get outboxed most the bout and look childish, who the heck would want a rematch with that? Also, I can’t stand when people are like oh this person or this person is giving Mayweather a tough round and beating Mayweather this round, no the truth is that Mayweather takes rounds off when he wants because it’s all a strategy even the way he clinches with everyone is just a strategy to tire them out faster even though it’s doing nothing to him, he lets people throw a hundred punches at him while he’s up against the ropes because it isn’t doing anything to Floyd and it’s only tiring out the other boxer. Very rarely have I ever actually seen Floyd try really hard in a bout.
Floyd got hit by 2 hard shots, never went down. Took the punches like a true fighter and came back out and won every round after that. Never made an excuse and that's why he's the GOAT
@@franknice187 he was the best never was somebody better while he was fighting. It’s impossible to fight hisself right so who else was he supposed to fight… beat pac canelo and whoever else wanted it
Zab Judah had Mayweathers number with that southpaw shoulder roll. But he got too carried away and tired, Floyd adjusted and won easy. But man for a few rounds Judah looked SUPERB .
Nicholas Granados yeh I remember first few RDS Zab was on point then Mayweather adjusted and that was is it but honestly Zab had the tools to have been great but he had a flaw in his Mental makeup and after Kosta beat him he went downhill
Floyd had to adjust to Judah's style and speed. If you go back and look at rounds 1-4 you see Floyd's body work , which is underrated was hurting Zab. That's what changed the fight and opened Mayweather's offence from round 4-12. Rounds 1-4 Zab was showing his game plan. Floyd took the data and made adjustments. Especially his foot dominance over Judah's. Besides Yoel was giving him some crazy ass advice between rounds. "Hit him boom! boom! boom!"😂
Every boxer does get hit. That's why Floyd will not fight and should not GGG at this stage of his career. Judah hardly made him miss like crazy. Mayweather was thinking too much because, he and Zab know each other so well. Zab on the other hand was not thinking because, of the same reason. Once Mayweather got Zabs tendencies during the first 4 rounds and dug into Zabs body It was cruise control to picking Zab apart. Plus Zab is not a WW he is a true Jr.WW. Got to give him (Zab) credit for taking on great fighters in WW.
When Floyd was caught with that big right hand of Mosley and how Floyd reacts in a split-second to protect himself from kissing the canvass, that is the point when I admire him the most and I like him the most. For me that is very extra-ordinary. It is very rare among boxers who can do that. The reflex of his brain to think and the reflex of his body to react is very unique and one of a kind!!!
Only way he was able to clinch like that is because Mosley was so close to him. Had Mosley stepped back just a little and threw an uppercut with some punches behind it Floyd would've went down. But yea he took advantage of the close distance between the fighters.
A lot of people never noticed Floyd got hit with jumping hook by Cotto that staggered him. The same jumping hook that floored Martinez. Floyd spread his legs and kept his composure. a long time friend and sparing partner was interviewed and said Floyd greatest asset is mental toughness. The best hes ever seen. I believe it!!!
I remember that shot in the second round Omg I thought Floyd was done and to add insult to injury he got him again with a hook and Floyd recovered like a Champion. Much respect
when you become successful, how you know you are successful, is when PEOPLE who don't even know you speak negative of you or try to find negative of you, or point out your flaws. At this point, you ignore them. They truly don't matter either way you go.
Ive seen people get knocked out from body blows. Those are the best IMO. People tend to forget about the body. You work on that body a bit, soften your opponents blows, he tires and before you know a canvas kisser is born.
This is one of the best conversations/interviews you will ever see. Floyd is humble, honest, and he does a wonderful job of articulating and interpreting the most intricate moments of a prize fighter.
Mayweather out pointed most of his apponents, but never really beat them. Mayweather never caused any damage to any of his apponents He never dominated an apponent like Manny has .
George Jacknowitz another idiot who don't know shit boxing wise Floyd has dominated everyone he got in the ring with if you don't agree your a blind fool how many times pac get knocked out and when they fought what happened?? Floyd beat his ass without breaking a sweat you could say Manny was more exiting but better then Floyd is a joke ......................a really good joke
I’m late to the party… You don’t have to be a Mayweather fan but if you are not a fan of his boxing skills, I question whether or not you are a boxing fan. Mayweather’s boxing skills are other worldly. Simply, he is a talented black man who changed the sport from how one trains, self promotion and boxing purses. IMHO, Boxing is better because of Floyd Mayweather Jr.
I always needed to see what Mayweather would do if he got caught before I could call him the best of a generation. I remember everyone said if Mosley catches Mayweather then the fights over but I always remember Mosleys trainer saying that its was false and when he catches Mayweather he was gonna turn into a dragon. That's exactly what happened.
L McG Yup...lol...he said before the fight...Shane's gonna have to be carefull...AFTER, he hurts mayweather....that's when the dragon comes out and he starts throwing those fireballs...lol...Naseem was 100% right. Genius
I remember watching this fight in the theater and losing my mind when I saw Mayweather on Bambi legs, but I told my brother, "If he doesn't KO Mayweather in this round, Mayweather is going to adjust and it's a wrap after that". And sure enough, it was a wrap.
What a brilliant boxer Floyd was. I'm glad i watched every fights his live on the tv since the Hatton fight. I really appreciated watching the skill and his crazy will to win.
I’m far from Floyd but I’ve been telling my so. Since he was 5 years old that winning is all about making the necessary adjustments. I’m not even a Floyd fan like that but the dude is nice and he is the ultimate professional from his preparation to his execution. You can never deny greatness.
Whatever anyone thinks of Floyd, he didn't hesitate to get back into rough close fights like with Maidana and Castillo. Many fighters would have taken the win and ran with it. Canelo did with Lara. That was a very close fight that deserved a rematch but Canelo just took the win and never mentioned Lara again.
I agree. People who think Castillo or Maidana won have a legit argument. They are still toss ups. That being said...The rematches answered any questions there after. Adjustments.
3:23 cuts deep. The Ricky Hatton fight where he just walked at Floyd in the first few rounds Floyd you could see was slightly taken back but he was still good enough to survive and then later on made the adjustments and cleaned him up with that left hook.
He's the best fighter I've seen in the last 30 years of watching boxing..maybe the most naturally gifted fighter there's ever been...the guy looked like he came out of the womb boxing...at his best he looked totally without any flaws
He’s completely right you don’t even feel it, but it’s just like the connection between your brain and body disconnects and you get the jelly legs. He was holding on for dear life. But, he did manage to hold on and he did survive and that’s one of the reasons he’s the best ever
Glad to see some Floyd fans here. Cuz love him or hate him he's one of the 3 or 4 best ever and overall in the credo of "hit & don't get hit" .. He's the Best
The funny thing about Mayweather's doubters, is that they keep saying Floyd ducked & fought fighters out of their prime. It would make sense but Floyd is older than most of his main competitors. He's just great, stop clinging on to silly excuses.
But people don’t wanna watch a humble fighter fight. They want someone to win and someone to lose. You gotta understand he has not just been a good fighter but a good salesman too.
I might think he's quite cocky but one thing I can never speak against is his pure skill and intelligence in the ring. That's quite the reason he's undefeated. As much as people hate those that are cocky he gets all rights to because he can walk the walk when he talks the talk.
What’s incredible about that round is how composed he remained even when his body was involuntarily buckling below him to try to regain balance Grabbed him… composed himself… hands up.. marched forward. Got hit again shortly after with that second huge shot… legs buckled.. walked forward.. Legs buckled AS he walked forward… ignored it as though it didn’t happen and kept walking forward. 😂 His ring IQ and composure is just absolutely incredible. Seems counter intuitive for a defensive fighter like him but in a vulnerable situation like that a good offense case is the best defense.. although risky, he understood that acting as though it didn’t phase him at all and trusting his abilities and landing a couple shots would help nullify any momentum he had… and he did just that. This man was truly on another level.
Floyd is crazy good, he talks about taking hard hits. Most fighters get lumped up in every fight and it's the norm taking big shots from them. Floyd taking a big shot is a huge deal.
Ritz why not you explain whats wrong instead of just saying no.. loma took a good shot and went down and came back to win the fight.. floyd took a good shot, didnt go down and dominated the rest of the fight.. whats wrong with what he said.. stop being in denial fool
Mr AMA the adjustment he made was he didn't drop his guard on Shane's double jab to the stomach. Shane double jabbed him to the stomach, he dropped his hands to block and Shane countered over the top with the shot that hurt him. Shane never landed that shot again
JamesDom point is he got hurt you fool. Floyd gay boy fans seem to ignore this. You don't grab onto someone preventing them from hitting. If you are the true greatest surely you wouldn't need to do this
You know you are a real champ when after 19 years as a champion people talk about one punch that hit you, even though it failed to put you on the canvas.
Mambochief facts
Mambo you know Mayweather has been knocked down twice in his career?
The honest analysis fight club QUILL TIME he hasn’t been
Ritz Kola he has go check it on Wikipedia, not to mention when zab dropped it but the ref missed it.
I'll correct myself, just one knockdown vs hernandez. He also was legally knocked down by Zab Judah but the ref missed it. I thought Corley knocked him down also but I was wrong not 2 knockdowns, just the one. I'm not trying to diss Floyd, he's an all time great and probably the best defensive fighter of all time.

I’m far from Floyd but I’ve been telling my so. Since he was 5 years old that winning is all about making the necessary adjustments. I’m not even a Floyd fan like that but the dude is nice and he is the ultimate professional from his preparation to his execution. You can never deny greatness.
da best. underrated and disrespected but he is the best and a great man and wise too. go floyd I love ya.
My dude 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 #TellItLikeItIs
When he beat Castillo the second time (thought Castillo won the first one 115-113),Mayweather won my respect ... haters quit hating ...
Whatever anyone thinks of Floyd, he didn't hesitate to get back into rough close fights like with Maidana and Castillo. Many fighters would have taken the win and ran with it. Canelo did with Lara. That was a very close fight that deserved a rematch but Canelo just took the win and never mentioned Lara again.
I had Mayweather winning all those fights...
I agree. People who think Castillo or Maidana won have a legit argument. They are still toss ups. That being said...The rematches answered any questions there after. Adjustments.
@@Noisehead101 And you know a guy is special when on his worst nights A) He won on the score cards and B) The fights were toss ups
They both had a point deducted so 115-113 isn't a valid score
you on fries today lol,,,,,
Amos Kemboi 2 years later n I’m still on 🍟! 😂😂😂 jk
Heart, chin, and solid defense makes Floyd TBE
3:23 cuts deep. The Ricky Hatton fight where he just walked at Floyd in the first few rounds Floyd you could see was slightly taken back but he was still good enough to survive and then later on made the adjustments and cleaned him up with that left hook.
He's the best fighter I've seen in the last 30 years of watching boxing..maybe the most naturally gifted fighter there's ever been...the guy looked like he came out of the womb boxing...at his best he looked totally without any flaws
He’s completely right you don’t even feel it, but it’s just like the connection between your brain and body disconnects and you get the jelly legs. He was holding on for dear life. But, he did manage to hold on and he did survive and that’s one of the reasons he’s the best ever
Those guys laughing about the "Cheese and fries" 😂😂😂
I always wondered how he felt about that fight with Shane. One of my favorite Mayweather fights. Cool story
Glad to see some Floyd fans here. Cuz love him or hate him he's one of the 3 or 4 best ever and overall in the credo of "hit & don't get hit" .. He's the Best
damn floyd got the eagle claw grip p4p strong
The audio is horrible!!!
I miss watching Mayweathers shows
The funny thing about Mayweather's doubters, is that they keep saying Floyd ducked & fought fighters out of their prime. It would make sense but Floyd is older than most of his main competitors. He's just great, stop clinging on to silly excuses.
How much more likeable is floyd when he talks like this
But people don’t wanna watch a humble fighter fight. They want someone to win and someone to lose. You gotta understand he has not just been a good fighter but a good salesman too.
Thanks 4 the honesty & keepin it 100 about that shot from shane in the 2nd rnd................
People still bringing this BS one time Floyd got rocked.
Dam that's deep--this is literally the best I've ever seen him answer a interview question.
Such admiration for Floyd Mayweather .... a proper warrior and champion 👍
I might think he's quite cocky but one thing I can never speak against is his pure skill and intelligence in the ring. That's quite the reason he's undefeated. As much as people hate those that are cocky he gets all rights to because he can walk the walk when he talks the talk.
by far he's not the brightest, they say, but his point about how adjustment pertains to life in general was on point.
John Doe not the brightest? ..49-0 = undefeated...multi-millionaire, mastered his craft and life ... realistically who's the smartest you or him??
Christopher Simmons Exactly, lol
Your comment certainly isn't the brightest...more of undercover racism
I felt that interview
people really underestimate how skilled Floyd is. true boxing genius
What’s incredible about that round is how composed he remained even when his body was involuntarily buckling below him to try to regain balance
Grabbed him… composed himself… hands up.. marched forward.
Got hit again shortly after with that second huge shot… legs buckled.. walked forward..
Legs buckled AS he walked forward… ignored it as though it didn’t happen and kept walking forward. 😂
His ring IQ and composure is just absolutely incredible.
Seems counter intuitive for a defensive fighter like him but in a vulnerable situation like that a good offense case is the best defense.. although risky, he understood that acting as though it didn’t phase him at all and trusting his abilities and landing a couple shots would help nullify any momentum he had… and he did just that.
This man was truly on another level.
T.B.E holding Vegas down mayne!! yall come here for vacation and leave on probation lmao
Floyds smile when that guy mentioned SRL praising Floyd. Says a lot...Floyd respected that
Black people when explaining how something is going wrong: "I was like "Shit" "
I don't say "I was like "shit". So does that make me a Latino?
Marcus Charles lmao
Quit playing....thats exactly what we be saying....😂😂😂...but you gotta put "Oh" in there tho...
Maurice Calhoun Nah, say "you"....
Dam.....nothing racist about dude comment..we can't be so dam sensitive about everything...😞😞😞😞😞😞
Love hearing insight on shit but I wanna know how bad was he hurt vs maidana when he got caught before the bell
Floyd is a genius. Errol Spence is next to dominate.
Yemar LGI I respect that
Yemar LGI wrong
very different though
it's vasyl Lomachenko to be #1 pound for pound
I agree. spence, anthony joshua, vasyl lomachenko and noaya inoue are going to be the next pvp stars. Mark my words
Floyd never gives a compliment without saying he's better than them afterwards 😂
Are all of these interviews in one big toilet. Wtf is that echo
Floyd is crazy good, he talks about taking hard hits. Most fighters get lumped up in every fight and it's the norm taking big shots from them.
Floyd taking a big shot is a huge deal.
Wish I had discovered Floyd years ago. What a great champion.
Exactly like Lomachenko, even the best will take a nasty shot but the will to recover and still win the fight.... legendary
Allen Conner no no no. Just all wrong
Ritz Kola I don't think so pal
Ritz why not you explain whats wrong instead of just saying no.. loma took a good shot and went down and came back to win the fight.. floyd took a good shot, didnt go down and dominated the rest of the fight.. whats wrong with what he said.. stop being in denial fool
Floyd's a money making machine
Hes such a legend and dominant in his game that they can only talk about a punch that he got caught with, not a match, not a round, 1 fucking punch.
Who the fuck is that bangin chick on his left .... her IG please
Thirsty Ass
Acid Penguin o that's one of his brain pieces
Pride Joy Word? I thought Floyd only fucks with Latinas and some light skin black girls.
that's a dude
Ok now I wan't he explain the fight against castillo what went wrong there??
He won
TBE
Best boxer ever, the adjustments are crazy.
The only adjustment we saw is he grabbed Shane's arm with his dear life
Mr AMA the adjustment he made was he didn't drop his guard on Shane's double jab to the stomach. Shane double jabbed him to the stomach, he dropped his hands to block and Shane countered over the top with the shot that hurt him. Shane never landed that shot again
Mr AMA wisely so
Topp Dogg point is he got hurt and that punch shook him 😕
Shane could have finished him off but Floyd had his arm locked to avoid the finishing move
Mr AMA damn fool, why the hell would you not do the first thing in your head to avoid getting hit?
JamesDom point is he got hurt you fool. Floyd gay boy fans seem to ignore this. You don't grab onto someone preventing them from hitting. If you are the true greatest surely you wouldn't need to do this
Look past hes on camera fight ego hes a really nice down to earth guy !
Absolute legend
It’s chess not checkers. Floyd is a genius at adapting to fighters styles in the ring!
So true, when you get hit like that you don't feel a thing..But you know you're in danger.
Here in 2019. Still the best boxer on the mic. Lol and TBE as well!
u can't hug and hit but u sure can hit and hug. that was state of the art in floyd boxing
People in the audience sound like clowns. “He said fries”
Damn true.
When you get hit by shots like that, no pain.
Just, welcome to the laser show.
