--------
In this clip, Michael Jai White weighed in on Zab Judah feeling like he's the only person to ever hand Floyd Mayweather Jr. a knockdown in a fight, despite the judges not scoring it for him. Michael said he believes Zab had faster hands than Floyd but it was Mayweather's mental game which set them apart. He talked about Floyd's fight-day demeanor and the calmness he exudes in the ring even in midst of chaos like the Zab Judah fight devolved into.
Michael also talked about Don King and how his public persona was nothing like interacting with Don in private.
“Timing beats speed, and precision beats power” true words
Michael Jai white looking like man zab tripping I said u was faster I never said u won
Lmfaooooo

My nigga 💯😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m glad you said that 😂😂😂 I saw that too!!!
I was saying the same thing!! Bruh you faster but you still lost!!!
This dude doesn't talk bad about anybody at all lmao.
He's a positive dude. That's the only way to be in life.
@@marcwilliams7956 I agree.
I'm still waiting to see if he'll ever feed into the nonsense tho
Gotta b smart, vlad wants Mr White to get Into his hip hop conversations....
Respectable dude
Yup and when he does, he apologizes for it.
Zab may have had a little more speed but Mayweather had speed + impeccable timing
IAMSAM no shit
And adjusting abilities
Well FLLOYD vs PAQUIAO was the worst fight ever
@@bruceleeds7988 because pac failed to be competitive and couldn't adjust. he got schooled and embarrassed.
@@ninjanizzle not impressed ffloyd should've knocked him out
Pretty boy Floyd was a problem. It sucks his hand got hurt
Tell me about it, power, speed, IQ, defense, skill, talent, I honestly could not find a flaw in his game.
Facts
Both hands. He would’ve had more knockouts
It’s really sad most of these new cats think Money May was his prime
He beat 26 world champions and mastered the art of defense. Non-blacks(especially mexican and flips) couldnt stand that the best pound for pound boxer was a flashy, confident Black man.
Vlad- When the guy being interviewed is ready to make a point PLEASE let him speak.
Yea he has that bad.....last interview mjw was about to explain his kyokshin tournament and how brutal it is at his level and got sidetracked by vlad 😆
YES
It is the most annoying thing. I've actually stopped in the middle of watching interviews cause it got under my skin. I think he's a horrible interviewer but has great people on.
Asking Michael Jai White if he saw Mayweather-Judah is like asking John Salley if he caught any of the 2018 finals.
lol
djvlad You a bitch
Judah definitely had the edge in speed during that fight that’s why Mayweather became the aggressor & started walking him down & going to the body.
Yep
He had to switch up his style for the win
Mayweathers Ring IQ won him that fight
Your 100% correct.
@@marcello46 Floyd didn't switch nothing man. He just took away what was working for Zab and Zab had no answer for it
He pulled out the phone and called Zab 😆 and Zab still explaining himself! 😂
@John Grey like seriously, it's no shame losing to Floyd 😂
😆
😂😂
Lmao you called me bru 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Zab ain't get no fucking ROBBED 😂😂😂 wtf???? Floyd whooped his ass
Juda was physically faster. Mayweather was Mentally faster All Love them My Playa!
Lol that's hilariously ironic because gayweather can't read.
@@JoRgEChavez-to2xd can't read? And he PERSONALLY TOLD U THAT?
@@JoRgEChavez-to2xd lol o you going off that lol. U fool. I'm pretty sure that he doing way better than u in life lol
JoRgE Chavez
That does not necessarily mean he is not smart. If it is true, it could just mean he’s never learned to, not that he’s not able to learn. The ability to assess what is happening in the middle of a bout and adapt to overcome, is rooted in intelligence.
You definefly didn't get my point.
All of the greats respect Floyd. I'm a licensed fight judge and have been around legends. Even the guys who don't like Floyd, swear by him as arguably the most complete fighter ever. Most just saw him when he was old and fighting bigger guys so all they think that he does is tap and run but if you watch his whole career then you know that he is definitely one of the best to ever do it
I agree and try to explain this to uninformed boxing fans. It is like talking a foreign language.
Floyd is da best ever statistically and defensively Floyd could change his strategy in da later rounds and make you think you were winning the fight when Floyd was only figuring you out
Well said
😀what up donnie baseball!!
I used to think Floyd wasn't that good , until I caught up on some of his old fights , hes definitely top 3 probably number 1
His trainer was Roger Mayweather, The Black Mamba, 🙏🏾🐍
R.i.p.
Lost two mambas in same year
@@markjordan5478 Tru 🐍🥺🐍💜💛
King Jerel Lennox Lewis was the greatest boxer of the late 90s and early 2000s.😁
@@emilio2647 He was one of them.
That's how you know Floyd is great. People think speed is what wins you fights but once you identify your opponent is just as fast or faster, that's when you begin to time 'em and adjust. That's where Floyd ascends above most fighters. He's a master at staying composed and adapting in the mist of hell.
Speed wasn't necessary what gave Floyd the edge over opponents, it was his superb timing. Timing > speed
Facts,Floyd's timing and ring generalship is what makes him great.
Big facts
And ability to adjust
Zab might have been robbed a knockdown but he lost that fight hands down.
Nobody gonna mention the hands down pun :D
@@BuuhBlocks Victor Ortiz sure aint
Say It Loud
So we gonna pretend that Floyd's uncle didnt choke Zab over the ropes which certainly changed the momentum of the fight?
Not saying Floyd wouldn't have won, but he was losing that fight.
@@atlien1988 change momentum of fight but you ain't saying Zab wouldn't have lost? Just run for Congress - just saying.
He might have faster hands but the fastest REFLEXES of all time. Body feints, foot movement, pullback speed mean way more than hand speed
Big facts
True statement
Timing also
Rasul Daniels floyd got fastest reflexes. Zab got fast hands but I wouldn’t even say he got the fastest hands of the last 10 years. Gary Russell got him best on dat
@@frankywilliam8073 hell nah, get the nostalgia out of ya head. Zab and Floyd are both faster than gary
Vlad: You know he killed someone, right?
Me: So did Bruce Jenner, Marky Mark and Matthew Broderick.
U forgot Kennedy and Joe Scarborough, Charlie Teron's mom killed her dad etc
Be careful man.. Don't lie and spread false information.. Mark Wahlberg never killed anyone.. He assaulted someone.. That person is still alive.. Stay on facts and do research before you write shyt you are not sure about.
Matthew was getting head from his co star is the theory. Look up horror stories
@Khairi Khan "used to be" ???
Once racist ALWAYS racist.
I also read that Marky Mark was a racist, but at the same time his dancers The Funky Bunch were all Black. So I don't really know wassup with him.
“Speed aint shit if you dont know how to use it” - Roger Mayweather
Roy Jones Jr. Was one of the fastest boxers I've ever seen. Faster than Floyd
Amir Khan is another one
@@BoxingFantop Amir Khan wasn't faster than Floyd and I think this was about of the guys he fought
Yup. Roy was faster (and stronger) than Floyd. Prime Roy destroys Floyd. Way longer reach too. Ring Magazine Fighter of the Decade (90s): Roy Jones Jr.
@ lmao. They are nowhere near the same size. Roy was the HW champion at one point. Stop comparing them h2h when they would never fight
Roy jones and amir khan only had faster hands. They werent known for being people you cant catch with your hands. That why michael talks about zab countering floyd.
Zab won three out of the first four rounds but after that Floyd went cerebral on him and the rest is history!!
Thank you
But we from Brooklyn we dont stop fighting at all until the police shoot a gun floyd lucky he was in the ring in Brooklyn he woulda got killed!!!!!
@Mr Potato Head hey maybe u right but you would6 come to Brooklyn talking like that its toooo many people outside that'll shoot u bro thsts NYC the other side if NYC dont let these games fool you bro I play games and smoke mad kush..... .. yo son watch yo mouth nigga straight up I'm from Brooklyn not Alabama ...
@Mr Potato Head lol ok dont come to nostrand ave Pink Houses in Brooklyn bro please!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@IAMSAM nigga........69 ain't from here nigga wtf !!!!!!!!
Zab was faster than Floyd, it SHOULD’VE been called a knockdown however, it wouldn’t have changed the outcome. Keep it mind Zab got called for a punch behind the head (or low blow I think). Floyd began to DOMINATE Zab in the middle and late rounds. 50-0. TBE. TMT.
Don King is a legendary gangster who acts like he's not that's all it is to it.
So true because reading this comment i first thought no way. Then when i contemplated it Don King is nothing but a gangster. A real wolf in sheeps clothing.
for real; any dude rock his hair like that got to be straight _gangsta_

b. gul Immmmmm dyingggggg 💀💀💀
😭😭😭😭😭
One of the toughest people in the world and one of the most humble
It wasn't a disqualification situation because Floyds corner man didn't step into the ring until AFTER the ref called timeout for the illegal punches. Had he not called timeout then yes he cld have lost the fight because of it.....
Never thought of that great take😊
Very humble and respectful man. 100 salutes to Michael J White
Glad had to put zab on the phone to show he cool wit him lol
Sb:that was a dope convo tho can’t lie 😂🤷🏿♂️🏌🏿♂️
Probably went like "You know what, let me get Zab on the phone right now" "Ah man you don't have to do th-" "It's ringing, here you go" 😂😂😂😂
SoulfulRealist lmfaooooooooooooooooo
Glad....lmao, nigga gone be Glad forever
@@T515P 😂😂😂
Floyd is ridiculously fast but he’s not the fastest. His timing and rhythm is what makes him superior to every guy faster than him. Speed gets beat by proper timing every time.

@@1999rednose 😂🤣😂
Zab in his prime had incredible speed and was beating Floyd to the punch in the first half of the fight.
Obatron one I think you mean first quarter.
Zab Judah only won three rounds.
At the half way mark it was 3-3 on all three judges cards.
Judah only won the first three and Floyd took the rest
This guy played the best,Mike Tyson role in the movie Tyson .No other movie needs to be done.He nailed it. walk,talk,attitude. .Captured the spirit of tyson. It's on youtube for free,,UR time won't be wasted if u dig Tyson
My hand speed was clocked higher then floyd and zab.
-T.K. Kirkland
That’s wassup I like seeing Brooklyn niggas stick together Beasty fighters Zab be vibin too 🔥💪🏾💯
Amir khan, gary russell jr, even Pacquiao may give floyd a challenge when it comes to hand speed. But NONE of those dudes have the reflexes floyd has. In fact no one does.
If only Amir khan had a chin
Exactly. Difference between being faster and being quicker
Only vasyl lomenchinko
Mosley?
@@clevejae9829 yeah him too
Don King is the real king of boxing. He really came in the game as a pure street dude and took over the sport for decades. He had no college degrees or inside connections, he really got it out the mud. He became a multi-millionare and never looked back. He understood when his time was up and got out the way with his money. He doesn't seek attention nowadays like alot of other people that use to be on top. Only in America!!! He fucked over alot of people to get to the top, but he made it to the top despite the odds, and it will never be done again in our lifetime.
I been said Zab had more raw talent than Floyd. Dedication to his craft, mental fortitude, IQ, and stamina are a different discussion
Floyd reflexes was better and his defense 10x better plus floyd can change his style zab doesnt he can only fight one way
Yup true zab was on deminsonal that’s more to do with his trainer IMO. Zab was whoppin Floyd’s ass straight boxing then Floyd changed his game plan and started pressing and Zab had no answer. Roger mayweather made that adjustment in round 4
Yup, Zab was damn near a prodigy, just didn’t have that dedication.
Floyd woulda died if need be. That’s how much dedication he had to be successful.
@@LB3THEKID Zab was whooping Floyd because he was a fast Southpaw. There is no bigger advantage in sports than being a Southpaw fighter. Floyd used to always take 4 rounds to adjust and get your timing down. If Zab was orthodox, he wouldn't have won a single round
@@menofbronze6884 it wasnt his dedication he trained very hard it was just he wasnt a complete fighter he couldnt fight in the inside and the way to beat him was to pressure pressure pressure he would stop throwing and start to pick his shots after 6 rounds
Met Zab in Memphis he’s a super nice guy
Floyd was quick but it was his timing that made him stand out
Michael Jai White is Legend but I don't wanna hear him talk about other fighters and what he'd do better I wanna ACTUALLY SEE him fight.
@Krunchy Vurn Bictim Or you are an innocent bystander and his spider sense starts tingling.
Zab showed in their fight that he had better hand speed and more pop, but once Floyd figured him out he took him apart. Floyd is just too smart and technically sound!
Man drop the full interview bro
Prime Sugar Ray Leonard, Sweet Pea Whitaker & Roy Jones Jr. ALL were faster than Floyd Mayweather!
EASY
All facts
True,and I've seen them all. SRL in his prime had power to go with that speed,and he could adjust. The first Hearns fight showed that. Sweet Pea,he was also a underrated bodypuncher. The first time I saw him fight was the '84 Olympic Games. Roy in the '88 Olympic Games was the worst robbery ever.
Amir Khan is faster than both Zab Judah and Floyd Mayweather.
Terence Crawford is another one that will adjust on the fly
Vlad if u get Don King up there u the new King of interviews...hands down
"I trained michael jai white for his mike tyson role back in the day at the powerhouse gym"- tk kirkland
For real
That's okd
One of my favorite movies
I hear other interviews,I "Listen" to MJW interviews!!!✊✊✊✊
Faster yes, but dude didn't get robbed... he was properly washed after he caught Floyd
He was in it for Legacy. There hasn't been another Don King since. Will be remembered more for that than anything else by the public 😎
Nah. Zab hit Floyd low out of frustration because he couldn’t hit him.
Facts. That's why Floyd's uncle jumped in the ring. Was a clear deliberate low blow.
low and behind the head. desperate attempt to force a DQ, rather than getting stopped, which is how it was going beforehand.
+Sani Carci Exactly
Thank You finally someone said it .
Zab don’t be acting like this when floyds paying him to help around
FACTS......I said that when I was watching the fight.....Zab is the only fighter I seen give it to Floyd.....for the first 4 rounds......after that Floyd adjusted and started dominating.
I'll give anyone 1K if you let Michael Jai White punch you in the sternum.
lol
Haha what crazy savage gonna do that lol
you need to up the money before you get any takers i think lol
Vlad was trying to talk about the murder and MJW was trying to pass by it like a proper man.
He didn’t get robbed in that fight though. Floyd beat that dude in that fight. He tripping if he says he got robbed. That’s bullshit.
Interview Mr.380 from Houston
Meldrick Taylor hand speed in the 80s was insane
Agreed, much faster than Floyd and Zab
The whole world knows, so true
Why he had to bring up he killed someone?🤔🤔
You know Vlad loves the BS
Smh. That's Vlad for ya
That's what I was saying, but Mike wasn't biting, he kept trying!
He's a white guy, defamation of the black man is a full-time job for them.
@@hendrixjoe555 Haha
That speed demon took the trampoline walk against Kaysta Tsyzu. 🥊😎
He is correct .
Zab was faster in that fight.
That's A fact
He said “Zab Zudah” 😂😂😂
I caught that 😂
jab was a good fighter. people keep saying he relied only on his speed, but if that was the case he wouldnt of never made it to the pros. his problem was he let his emotions get in the way of his profession, and he wasnt much of a fighter to go into later rounds with elite fighters. at the time he was definitely elite. he didnt make the money he made just being average fighter. floyd was just mentally and physically stronger despite jab being faster. all you have to do is see what fighter face was more damaged after the fight.
zab got gun shy as he got older ... not letting his hands go cost him many fights ie the Cotto fight..Broner has that same issue now.
We need a movie on Don King..it's gonna be epic
Floyd tripped over Zab's foot. After Floyd tripped Zab threw a weak ass hook to make it seem as if he knocked him down. It was a slick veteran move. That was not a knockdown for goodness sake 🤦🏿♂️ that's what happens when Orthodox fighters fight southpaws. Their feet usually get tangled up.
MJW and Booker T have two of the shiniest beards in the game for black I then seen!
He was slightly
Slightly faster,
But light years
Light years less skilled
He said zab zudah 😂😂🤣😂😂 but facts zab is dope af
The interviewer is a vulture looking for gossip and innuendo.
exactly. Thats why he's a cornball
Zab may be faster but Mayweather damn sure got out boxed Zab way before the low blows, and was the reason for the low blows and the fight
Nah Amir Khan faster than both but got a glass chin
Facts
No way.
True Fighters don't talk bad about anyone. Because they understand life and death. And they hold that power in their limbs. It's a Respect Factor. To deep to explain in these comments.
Shane Mosley almost slumped Floyd tho 🤷🏿♂️
Corley hit him with a great shot aswell but mayweather has a really good chin and resilience for someone who is one of the least clean hit in boxing history
That punch was nasty.
Floyd said it best before the fight. He said, "Zab is fast for the first 3 to 4 rounds of a fight. I'm fast all 12 rounds." Strategy, natural ability, and conditioning folks. Speed alone will only get you so far.
Meldrick taylor was faster
true
A guy who sparred with both said Roy was faster than Floyd
@@StillTroy I believe it the eye test for me says it all.
Ima have to agree with the title of this video .
I'd say amir khan at his fastest was faster than both
Yea an Arab is faster boxer than a Black man 😂😂 Are u fucking Stupid or just don't watch athletics?
Hand speed, but not quick on counters or moving around the ring
❌❌ Amir wasn't even as fast as some of the 154's at the time
@@totoriina43 why not i have seen the same arab beating the shit out of them blacks yo talking about
I didn't say he was as good as Floyd, of course he wasn't but to people who know boxing, he's known as one of the fastest ever. He also beat Zab but a lot of the ppl responding don't even know that
Michael Jai White this guy has a lot of class I like it
At 4:30 he said "ok, cool cool" and my phone thought it was me saying "ok Google"
M J White "got flewed out" 🤣🤣4:15
Great synopsis on zab and floyd
He really studied boxing for real
Gary Russell Jr would beg to differ
Great fight
The problem with Judah is once he got knocked out by kostya he was never the same
I can literally listen to this dude mjw talk about n e thing all day
Zab may have been faster and Floyds glove may have touched the canvas but it doesn't change the fact that he kicked Zab ass. Zab was probably on the verge of getting knocked out before the low blow.
Zab Judah and Shane mosely are faster but Floyd is the smartest boxer of our time.
Good interview vlad
Zab Judah gave Floyd the best run for his money out of all his opponents
No the hell he didn't man you crazy smh
Mayweather is the most versatile boxer ever, also the best business man. Plus he knows exactly which buttons to press, to get the opponent working harder while he works less. I think that maybe when he is around 50, he may go for a last fight, because of the way he spends money he might be broke in a couple of years.
That’s kinda smart. If I was wealthy. I wouldn’t just buy the newest thing. Just to say I have it. I’d buy things that I enjoy and wear em out, knowing I could stunt if I want to.
I’m in school working on that goal 🙏🏾💪🏾
Yeaaaaaahh show my nigga super judah some love
What about RJJ and SRL ?
My brother Zab love that guy
Judah also had the edge in power along w a crazy left roll-counter he was decking Floyd with
this dude is the truth 💯!!! he needs to get a dojo to help kids
Zab's biggest weakness was always his boxing IQ, meaning his lack of mental toughness & inability to make adjustments
BEING FAST DEFENSIVELY AND BEING FAST OFFENSIVELY IS TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. THATS WHY ZAB HAS BEEN DAM NEAR KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT SEVERAL TIMES.
