They wasn't degrading Gatti when he couldn't hurt Carlos. They made the comments that Gatti wasn't big or strong enough. Mayweather was natrually smaller than Gatti. So how was he suppose to KO Carlos.

The commentators during the 10th round were horrible. Based on their logic if you shut someone out you’re not fighting the way you’re suppose to be. 🤦🏾♂️
Why pacquiao was given too much credit for fighting bigger guys by critics and experts despite only Margarito and Horn are the opponents who outweigh him by 10 pounds or more, but Mayweather whose fighting boxers who outweigh him by 10 pounds or more is a norm critics and experts act like he was fighting his same size? Double standards really exist in boxing.

Floyd is better. Sugar Ray lost quite a few fights vs who? Lol! Floyd beat way more champions and easily did it. They laugh first while he laughed last.
Floyd beat more champions? Well yeah they’re used to be 8 across all divisions not 8in a division. Fluids great no doubt. Inhavent watched this fight on some years. But just look at raynleonard. Hearns Duran hagler ball top guys in the sport and fought e at another in each others prime many times over. Any of those guys would murder baldomiR That’s not a knock on Floyd. He’s an all time great. I can’t rate ray Robinson as there’s not enough footage to his alleged prime and I can’t take someone word for it. But the 4 kinds in the 80s Floyd would be an underdog to all of them Imagine Leonard and hearns or any combination. Not fighting until age 36 Floyd navigated a path of fighting some names at the tail end of there career. Floyd’s early career. Before 99% of people saying how Floyd is the best ever his best portion of his career and fighting the top guys on there prime was long before delahoya. This is a squash match and baldomir is a champion. Which speaks volumes on state of the class at the time. He fought Mosley after he slid and upset margarita cotto after 2 life altering beating t from margarito and paquaio. Judah was shot. Gatti shot. Delahoya never won a fight after. Roberto Guerrero? Marquez was a catchwrifgt of Juan moving up from 135. To a catcher if he or 142 instead of ww 147. Floyd didn’t bother making wright and came in 4 lbs iver against a guy that doesn’t even fight at the weight class below. Canelo fought under 154 at the age of 16. That match catcherifgt of 152. Draining him. A great win vut canelo was a shell of his current self. Berto? Washed. Mgregor? Never boxed before. Floyd is a goat. He navigated his path in an era of social media of people who just see something and believe how great what they see with no perspective on the sport. Paquaio that fig should have happened many many years before that. That’s why we’re seeing this bullshit tank Davis not fighting anybody or Ryan Garcia. Or Shamir Stevenson.

@Truth speaker And fighting absolute nobodies. Guys with no skill set. You're not fighting a hundred top tier fighters or even pretty good fighters and survive.
Floyd left top rank over that fight. He wanted the winner of that fight and Oscar and Arum wouldnt do it so he bought his way outta his contract. This was his first fight. Best move he ever made.
The comments made by the commentators during that fight are the exact reasons why hbo boxing got cancelled. Fighter's did not want to be degraded and their personal lives outside of the ring brought into the fight. Those 2 commentators know who they are that got the sport cancelled from the network.
No hbo wanted to pursue other projects.. They were a little late with the streaming stuff and dazn started to take over. Now they focus on shows as seen with game of thrones
Floyd was fighting a smart fight, regardless of what the commentators were saying, Floyd was being cautious, because the guy could punch, and he didnt want to get caught .Excellent job by Floyd. I dont think the trainer commentator would've told his boxer to slug it out so that the fans could get excited, great job Mayweather.
That’s not even true. For many decades reporter and commentators were honest with what you’re seeing. Merchant was always high on Floyd from genaro Hernandez to manfredy to corrales on and on and on. Hbo especially we’re honest. They wouldn’t pretend every fight is the greatest fight you could dream of. Honesty is a bitch. Floyd is one of the best to ever do it. Give me A critique with a source that was unfair from merchant. I’ll give you perspective on why that would have been a critique. Manny steward. Just said this is Floyd’s first real test which is absolutely dishonest. Fought much better fighters even before Floyd was making money. Shot genaro Hernandez is twice the fighter baldomir was and Floyd beat him within a couple years of turning pro. Merchant was honest and blunt. As great as manny steward was to boxing that’s just one example of being dishonest While typing this on my phone Floyd is an absolute legend. Especially at 130. If Floyd was in the 80s at ww he would have had to fight hearns ray Leonard Duran and 154 hagler. All of those guys fought each other multiple times in each other’s primes. Would be interesting how Floyd would navigate a path like that
Jim,Larry and that black man is so Critic of Floyd Mayweather they always chewing on his name, if anybody Larry and Jim for all these years was waiting to see Floyd loose😢😂😂😂😂😂
You think Floyd beats hagler hearns Duran and ray Leonard who all fought each other in there prime? All those guys would kill oacquaio and Floyd wouldn’t be the favorite in any of those.
I bet you rate Joe calzaghe and Ricardo Lopez as 2 and 3 greatest of all time. Floyd is a great fighter just all his names he fought were last there prime other than corrales. Hatton.
How do you think Floyd would fair against Duran rsybleonard hearns and hagler. All of those guys have much greater resumes and fought each other multiple times. I’m there day there was t 8 belts for a division it was basically 2 and 3. Now those 3 all have gold and silver versions. Ring magazine belt. Who. Etc etc etc. Not losing doesn’t mean much. Those guys fought anmirderers row. And Floyd would be an underdog against just those 4. Bame any opponent Floyd fought that would even be competetive against those guys? I love Floyd inlove his style. Pernell Whitaker is one of my all time favorites. I guess I’ve followed the sport for so long that you’re era who and when you’re fighting these guys matters. Baldomir gatti. All of floydsnvest wins would be killed by those guys. It’s no coincidence that all of those 4 guys from the same era are some of the greatest of all time. And you’re amazed by Floyd beating up a slow plodding fighter in baldomir. 147 isn’t Floyd’s wright. 130 and 135 would be his optimal weight which he skipped to get that de la Hoya money. And his star took Off Floyd’s best work was before he was a star fughting giys at the top of there game. Still an all time great Marciano 49-0. Calzaghe undefeated. Julio Cesar Chavez won 90 on a row. If they quit boxing would they be better than Floyd because they won more in a row. Larry Holmes almost won 50 in a row. He fought too giys into his 40s including young tyson Carlos monzon won 60 in a row. You’re putting way too much emphasis on a 0 Castillo in fairnesss should have won the first fight. If Thenjudges gave Castillo the nod then all the sudden Floyd wouldn’t be undefeated and the best ever? Shit Lennox whooped Holyfield’s ass and it was a draw the first fight. In by no universe in the boxing world would a historian say a win is a win and they fought equally. And a draw was the right call. Basically watch more fights brither. If you’re wondering why hagler hearns Leonard Duran would be ranked higher than Floyd. And especially at this stage Of Floyd’s career it would get a ridiculous comparison.
Stewart always hated Floyd for how Floyd claiming he was better than Sugar Ray Robinson, Roberto Duran, Sugar Ray Leonard, Henry Armstrong, Willie Pep etc. Stewart loved those fighters. He just hates Floyd's arrogance.
@@XavierMarciano I do agree. Still no matter how arrogant Floyd is, it's not an excuse to play the double standards attitude towards him or any boxer. After all, believing that you are the best in this sports is not really an arrogance but the right attitude. That's a right set of mind.
He always hated Floyd and wanted him to lose so he could say see he's not as good as Ray leanord. Floyd is a better fighter then Ray. His defense and ring IQ is way better than rays. And his offense was just as good in his 20s and early 30s.
Zag was so hot and cold. Not fully commited at times. The kosta tszu fight broke him I think and he never beat a top guy since that fight lost 4 or 5 straight after baldomir. Even lost to Corey spinks
Rd 7 in the centre of the ring, i think Floyd injured his left hand after throwing a body shot. May have connected with baldomir’s elbow, Floyd didn’t really use the left for the rest of the fight
When i was younger i hated floyd because of the biased commentary i heard throughout those years(and im a HUGE pacquiao fan ) but as i got older, I realized. Most fights are better the second watch AND in silence just to see what was actually happening .....with that being said floyd was pure poetry in the ring.
Same. I used to order all of Mayweathers fights ppv hopefully to see him lose. Then a week later it was free on HBO and I would watch the fight just observing what he did. Went from a hater to a fan.
Floyd had the best ring outfits for 2 straight decades.. doing it big before ppl really paid attention.... first with the props the fur the color etc.. he'll his corner even dripped... how about Lenard ellerby still in the corner they came a long way
Floyd is a great boxer. Baldomir is like a slow retarded guy and Floyd still just throwing 1 at a time. I love Floyd but he has some really drusterating fights as he doesn’t take any sort of chance and just 1 shit here and there.
I heard a lot of bias commentary. Mr Stewart mentioned Floyd is not a pure boxer. But if you look today, Floyd was the template of boxing 🥊 just saying
It’s funny how zab Judah goes through hell fighting a club fighter, Floyd comes in and plays with him And makes it look easy and gets punished by Jim lampley and Larry merchant
This the fight when the media turned on Floyd mayweather. The commentary was all slander after the 5th round. But all that aside baldomir got embarrassed sheesh.
Floyd moved way more the he needed to in this fight Baldomir only had 13 KO’s in 43 fights so he ain’t that big of a puncher. Floyd should have beat him like he did gotti.
Agree. I think he got over cautious in this fight with the size of Baldomir. There were certain points in the fight were he was kinda getting in to it and then holds back again.
Nah the commentators are right on the money. This was a packed house with lots of famous people in attendance and excitement before the fight, click on any point of the video and there’s dead silence. At the end of the fight, there were only boos. The commentators are just pointing out facts. Boxing is entertainment first and foremost, period. It’s not about sucking up to another grown man, and hoping they make the most money and run away enough to not get touched. It’s supposed to be entertaining for the people paying the pay per view.
And by the way, Merchant always asks personal questions and tough questions of boxers…things some fans were thinking at the time. And Floyd is a huge baby. He fought against his dad and with that attitude probably fights and argued with anyone. He’s full of himself and never was good entertainment…as good as he was, he will never be the best ever. And life will teach him his lessons. He’s just a glorified Olympic fighter trying to score points…we need real boxing back, with emotion and heart…not business.
@@MadDogGIOWhen a boxer gets on a ring they’re aim is to win not to entertain a bunch of armchair experts, second most how about you go into a boxing gym and ask the coach to spar hard like a real fight, and tell me if you’re going to want to entertain everyone watching as you receive a clean straight hand through your nose or a left hook through your liver at full power, speed, and perfect technique.
@@MadDogGIOY’all tripping Mayweather was the truth who cares who he argues with out the ring?!?! That has nothing to do with boxing if you don’t like him just that instead of hating on him bc he got paid in a sport that leaves some boxers broke or with bad health problems like Ali!! But to say Mayweather isn’t a GOAT on some level is clearly blind or blind!!! Facts
At 13:28 There were quite a few of Floyd’s fights where Emmanuel Stewart would describe as Floyd’s “toughest test”. Then Floyd proceeded to destroy that opponent. lol
This is ridiculous to say this is Floyd’s toughest test. Baldomir was a journeyman who beat nobody or not except gatti who wasn’t a ww and Judah on the end of his career when he was hot or cold an md you never knew what you were going to get. Fucking sharmba Mitchell and angel manfredy were bigger tests let alone corrales and Castillo and genaro Hernandez for Floyd’s first world title. Manny was trying to garner interest for the viewer merchant is just honest so he gets hate. And manny changes his tune when the fight actually starts.
The Boxers in the profession.Speaking of the commentateurs référence To Baldimirs showing his boxing skilla to Floyd Baldirmir went for a fight with a pure boxer...thats Floyd.Speaking of Baldimir fighting à technical fight with floyd? My opinion of Baldimir last fights.Hes à slugger.Toe to toe type.When thats not an option he's swinging wild....or not at all. Thats my overview on Baldimir.He cant connect his wi-fi no inner net?
Lots of hate on Floyd because his fights aren’t as exciting as straight up brawls. He is great to watch if you love his style, but the reason most fights are exciting is because of the KO’s not the decisions
It's crazy how bad the commentators hated on floyd the whole fight even tho he dominating. In the tenth rd they said it wasn't a fair fight but before the fight the had baldimire winning, smh shit crazy its about winning period, hit and not get hit fuck entertainment he won! He mastered the art of boxing its about winning convincingly they big mad
It’s not crazy Floyd is better everywhere and is just throwing a shot here and there. It’s a clear win but lackluster. That’s the beauty of boxing announcers. They’re not going to fool you into seeing something exciting it’s a great performance. Not a great fight to watch. Your opponent is outgunned and you’re throwing 30 punches a round. One at a time. Floyd is fortunate Oscar was still around and the most popular boxer in that era
An open secret that Larry Merchant did and does not like Floyd Mayweather with all heart and soul but with this fight, Larry Merchant will eat some pies and only hope they (pies) won't tastes bitter for him ( Larry Merchant).
Emmanuel Steward don't know shit about boxing. Always wrong about his thoughts on what maayyyyyyyyyy happen. No disrespect. RIP Roger. He coached from jail and was right it was EZ work.
Roger maywesther shouldn’t and isn’t mentioned in the same sentence as Emanuel steward I’m boxing Steward has trained many hall of famers from the ground up. Roger had 1 though
He says he doesn’t use the jab like a traditional boxer does. He isn’t saying Floyd is not a boxer. He is saying Floyd doesn’t fight like a strict boxer, he throws more straight right leads and leaping left hooks than a strict straight jab, jab, right hand boxer like Lenox Lewis or Klitcho
@@itsnotme3882 That's what makes him a special kind of talent. He's one of the very few throughout history, who never had to consistently rely on the jab, mostly due to his great reflexes regarding hand and foot speed alone. Them feints he used to either set up the lead left hook, straight right, or pull counter, while either slipping, rolling, or blocking/parrying punches were a thing of beauty
pure fights super boring those of Floyd, in Cambio Chávez, Márquez, Terrible Morales, Barrera, Jose Luis Castillo, Yori Boy Campas, Siri Salido, those were first level Boxers !!!

147 isn’t Floyd’s wright. 130 and 135 would be his optimal weight which he skipped to get that de la Hoya money. And his star took
Off Floyd’s best work was before he was a star fughting giys at the top of there game.
Still an all time great
Marciano 49-0. Calzaghe undefeated. Julio Cesar Chavez won 90 on a row. If they quit boxing would they be better than Floyd because they won more in a row. Larry Holmes almost won 50 in a row. He fought too giys into his 40s including young tyson
Carlos monzon won 60 in a row.
You’re putting way too much emphasis on a 0
Castillo in fairnesss should have won the first fight. If Thenjudges gave Castillo the nod then all the sudden Floyd wouldn’t be undefeated and the best ever?
Shit Lennox whooped Holyfield’s ass and it was a draw the first fight. In by no universe in the boxing world would a historian say a win is a win and they fought equally. And a draw was the right call.
Basically watch more fights brither.
If you’re wondering why hagler hearns Leonard Duran would be ranked higher than Floyd. And especially at this stage
Of Floyd’s career it would get a ridiculous comparison.
whats ur piont
The commentating during this fight and after didn’t age well 🥴
Is Floyd hiring now? TMT
Lol Flawless victory and all you heard the whole fight was jealousy, criticism, and hate! TBE TMT 🐐
HBO commentators were horrible in this fight ...Stewart was hating the whole night
Ricky Anderson fr
Stewart always hated Floyd for how Floyd claiming he was better than Sugar Ray Robinson, Roberto Duran, Sugar Ray Leonard, Henry Armstrong, Willie Pep etc.
Stewart loved those fighters. He just hates Floyd's arrogance.
@@XavierMarciano I do agree. Still no matter how arrogant Floyd is, it's not an excuse to play the double standards attitude towards him or any boxer. After all, believing that you are the best in this sports is not really an arrogance but the right attitude. That's a right set of mind.
He always hated Floyd and wanted him to lose so he could say see he's not as good as Ray leanord. Floyd is a better fighter then Ray. His defense and ring IQ is way better than rays. And his offense was just as good in his 20s and early 30s.
Manny was calling it as he sees it. Manny loves knockouts (Hearns, Lewis) and Floyd wasn't going for the KO.
"He's weakening now" lol. Pretty boy could box 30 rounds.
lilmanjp of course
How the hell did baldomir beat zab judah
Zag was so hot and cold. Not fully commited at times.
The kosta tszu fight broke him I think and he never beat a top guy since that fight lost 4 or 5 straight after baldomir. Even lost to Corey spinks
Zab wasn't always focused he was hot headed and emotional
@@oldironsides4107 Him not letting go of his dad as his trainer, also didn't help at all, either.
42:28 dang none of those punches landed
Rd 7 in the centre of the ring, i think Floyd injured his left hand after throwing a body shot. May have connected with baldomir’s elbow, Floyd didn’t really use the left for the rest of the fight
When i was younger i hated floyd because of the biased commentary i heard throughout those years(and im a HUGE pacquiao fan ) but as i got older, I realized. Most fights are better the second watch AND in silence just to see what was actually happening .....with that being said floyd was pure poetry in the ring.
Same. I used to order all of Mayweathers fights ppv hopefully to see him lose. Then a week later it was free on HBO and I would watch the fight just observing what he did. Went from a hater to a fan.
I'm not a mayweather fan but he's a real master of boxing.......infact he's the best....
43:54 is boxing in a nutshell , baffles me that after all these years floyd still has not gotten his just due
He just moved so smooth with those. Such master.
Floyd had the best ring outfits for 2 straight decades.. doing it big before ppl really paid attention.... first with the props the fur the color etc.. he'll his corner even dripped... how about Lenard ellerby still in the corner they came a long way
Baldomir lead corner man was terrible. Some of the worst advice during a fight I've ever heard.
Baldo corner telling him lies 😂😂
Baldomir’s style and appearance is similar to a former gritty Argentine boxer: Juan Domingo Roldan.
What was Baldomir's walk song in the backround?
Floyd mayweather hulk hogan
They were so wrong about Floyd not being a draw. He became the villain and people paid to see him lose.
The commentators and all of boxing were petrified of the ufc at the time. Thus demanding fights to be exciting. Their babble is a result of that.
Floyd is a great boxer. Baldomir is like a slow retarded guy and Floyd still just throwing 1 at a time.
I love Floyd but he has some really drusterating fights as he doesn’t take any sort of chance and just 1 shit here and there.
Once he started puck shot it was over
I heard a lot of bias commentary. Mr Stewart mentioned Floyd is not a pure boxer. But if you look today, Floyd was the template of boxing 🥊 just saying
Another track meet by Floyd.
It’s funny how zab Judah goes through hell fighting a club fighter, Floyd comes in and plays with him
And makes it look easy and gets punished by Jim lampley and Larry merchant
Carlos team was lying to his ass
This the fight when the media turned on Floyd mayweather. The commentary was all slander after the 5th round. But all that aside baldomir got embarrassed sheesh.
I see why HBO boxing is out of business the commentary is the worst . its boxing not knockouts !
Floyd moved way more the he needed to in this fight Baldomir only had 13 KO’s in 43 fights so he ain’t that big of a puncher. Floyd should have beat him like he did gotti.
Agree. I think he got over cautious in this fight with the size of Baldomir. There were certain points in the fight were he was kinda getting in to it and then holds back again.
Nah the commentators are right on the money. This was a packed house with lots of famous people in attendance and excitement before the fight, click on any point of the video and there’s dead silence. At the end of the fight, there were only boos. The commentators are just pointing out facts. Boxing is entertainment first and foremost, period. It’s not about sucking up to another grown man, and hoping they make the most money and run away enough to not get touched. It’s supposed to be entertaining for the people paying the pay per view.
And by the way, Merchant always asks personal questions and tough questions of boxers…things some fans were thinking at the time. And Floyd is a huge baby. He fought against his dad and with that attitude probably fights and argued with anyone. He’s full of himself and never was good entertainment…as good as he was, he will never be the best ever. And life will teach him his lessons. He’s just a glorified Olympic fighter trying to score points…we need real boxing back, with emotion and heart…not business.
@@MadDogGIO true
@@MadDogGIOWhen a boxer gets on a ring they’re aim is to win not to entertain a bunch of armchair experts, second most how about you go into a boxing gym and ask the coach to spar hard like a real fight, and tell me if you’re going to want to entertain everyone watching as you receive a clean straight hand through your nose or a left hook through your liver at full power, speed, and perfect technique.
@@bigpeppa4932 dumb logic the fans pay these boxers if your not intresting people not gonna watch
@@MadDogGIOY’all tripping Mayweather was the truth who cares who he argues with out the ring?!?! That has nothing to do with boxing if you don’t like him just that instead of hating on him bc he got paid in a sport that leaves some boxers broke or with bad health problems like Ali!! But to say Mayweather isn’t a GOAT on some level is clearly blind or blind!!! Facts
may weather looks like He is arranging a booty call while boxing, its that easy
🗣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What is a fair fight Mr commentator ? It is about how u win it, das all
floyd was suppose to become undisputed after this fight smh
Money talks he wasn’t choosing undisputed over fighting Oscar which was the money fight
@@c.o.g7375 no thats not it
@@vonthegreat870 nigga yea it was.. what was it then
@@c.o.g7375 nigga you don’t even know what you talking about😂
@@c.o.g7375 LMAO you funny bro
As usual floyd useing his elbows again
At 13:28 There were quite a few of Floyd’s fights where Emmanuel Stewart would describe as Floyd’s “toughest test”. Then Floyd proceeded to destroy that opponent. lol
This is ridiculous to say this is Floyd’s toughest test.
Baldomir was a journeyman who beat nobody or not except gatti who wasn’t a ww and Judah on the end of his career when he was hot or cold an md you never knew what you were going to get. Fucking sharmba Mitchell and angel manfredy were bigger tests let alone corrales and Castillo and genaro Hernandez for Floyd’s first world title.
Manny was trying to garner interest for the viewer merchant is just honest so he gets hate. And manny changes his tune when the fight actually starts.
The Boxers in the profession.Speaking of the commentateurs référence To Baldimirs showing his boxing skilla to Floyd Baldirmir went for a fight with a pure boxer...thats Floyd.Speaking of Baldimir fighting à technical fight with floyd? My opinion of Baldimir last fights.Hes à slugger.Toe to toe type.When thats not an option he's swinging wild....or not at all. Thats my overview on Baldimir.He cant connect his wi-fi no inner net?
JEROMY MAURICE GREEN AKA JAYYNASTY 8️⃣💚🪄
Larry Merchant just dislike Floyd
Lots of hate on Floyd because his fights aren’t as exciting as straight up brawls. He is great to watch if you love his style, but the reason most fights are exciting is because of the KO’s not the decisions
Mike tison pedro armella cristian armella cintia armella
It's crazy how bad the commentators hated on floyd the whole fight even tho he dominating. In the tenth rd they said it wasn't a fair fight but before the fight the had baldimire winning, smh shit crazy its about winning period, hit and not get hit fuck entertainment he won! He mastered the art of boxing its about winning convincingly they big mad
It’s not crazy Floyd is better everywhere and is just throwing a shot here and there.
It’s a clear win but lackluster. That’s the beauty of boxing announcers. They’re not going to fool you into seeing something exciting it’s a great performance. Not a great fight to watch.
Your opponent is outgunned and you’re throwing 30 punches a round. One at a time.
Floyd is fortunate Oscar was still around and the most popular boxer in that era
An open secret that Larry Merchant did and does not like Floyd Mayweather with all heart and soul but with this fight, Larry Merchant will eat some pies and only hope they (pies) won't tastes bitter for him ( Larry Merchant).
Gustavo vilte. Berrueta leguizamon evo morales
Boring
Damm Roger
Faaa que Paliza se comió baldomir
Easy work
Broken hand Floyd.
Baldomer was a bum 👎
All these commentators re baiss
Emmanuel Steward don't know shit about boxing. Always wrong about his thoughts on what maayyyyyyyyyy happen. No disrespect. RIP Roger. He coached from jail and was right it was EZ work.
Roger maywesther shouldn’t and isn’t mentioned in the same sentence as Emanuel steward I’m boxing
Steward has trained many hall of famers from the ground up.
Roger had 1 though
Is Emmauel Stewart series by saying Mayweather isn’t a boxer 😒
He says he doesn’t use the jab like a traditional boxer does. He isn’t saying Floyd is not a boxer. He is saying Floyd doesn’t fight like a strict boxer, he throws more straight right leads and leaping left hooks than a strict straight jab, jab, right hand boxer like Lenox Lewis or Klitcho
@@itsnotme3882 That's what makes him a special kind of talent. He's one of the very few throughout history, who never had to consistently rely on the jab, mostly due to his great reflexes regarding hand and foot speed alone. Them feints he used to either set up the lead left hook, straight right, or pull counter, while either slipping, rolling, or blocking/parrying punches were a thing of beauty
floyd really beat this dude and humiliated him with leoanrd as his trainer damm
Floyd could have beat him without a trainer.
leonard doesn't give a sh*t
Leonard wasn't his trainer just in his corner
Boring Ass fight
Cheapest Whips yep
pure fights super boring those of Floyd, in Cambio Chávez, Márquez, Terrible Morales, Barrera, Jose Luis Castillo, Yori Boy Campas, Siri Salido, those were first level Boxers !!!
Thank god HBO boxing is dead.
