people constantly criticize Mayweather for not destroying DLH in this fight, but this was his very first fight at 154lbs, over an experienced hall of fame boxer after just moving up to 147. He had two fights at 147lbs before having to move up to 154lbs and barely managed to make 150lbs.
@pkbosslac may traded with mosley...didnt expect him to take that shot in the 2nd round as good as he did...and that was the cleanest hit ive seen him land...he also traded punches alot in his earlier more offensive days before switching to his more defensive style tho...i miss that
And I love how its like "FLOYD WAITS FOR THEM TO GET OLD AND THEN BEATS THEM" Ya but Floyd ages too, so what you're saying is Floyd gets old just like the other fighters yet his ability to remain as good as he is, NEVER changes, which I can agree with because he's a great fighter. 50+ fights later and look at Pacquiao can't even knock people out anymore (Probably because of lack of steroids), whereas we see Floyd still handles opponents like their in grade school.
the thing is, almost every one of DLH's punches are blocked, partially blocked or dodged. It's very difficult to see, but you can tell by the sounds of the punches landing. It's easier to do if you ignore the crowd and commentators.
It took Manny Pacquiao 40 fights to be finally recognized as a good fighter, he fought NOBODIES for 40 fights until he finally gotta chance with Juan Manuel Marquez in his 41st career fight. On Pacs 42nd fight, he had already lost 2 fights and had 2 draws, and his 43rd fight he would lost to Erik Morales. It took him literally 40 fights to actually make it somewhere.
@pkbosslac i know pacquiao will give floyd trouble...but looking at his fights with marquez....you see pacquiao gets a little discouraged when he notices that he's being countered often and effectively...and the only difference between his 2 fights with marquez was that in the 2nd one he wasnt as off balance when he threw his left...but still fought the same way...floyd we know he as offense & his defense is crazy...the way i see pac winning is if he improves his jabs & fights floyd like DLH did
Yea that's because Mayweather fought DLH at his natural walking around weight and Pacquiao fought a skinny drained weak DLH but people don't want to talk about that! And let's remember that this was Mayweather's first fight at 154lbs
Any other Sugar Ray Leonard fans? I'm a huge fan of his and a fan of Floyd. Sugar beat Hagler the same way Floyd has beat alot of opponents, with speed and flurries. Floyd has a very good talent, its called WINNING!
@bobbytza13 how do you feel about that fight last Saturday? I told YOU that Floyd wasn't gonna fight Ortiz like he did Oscar. you just gave me some credibility. Thanks, dude.
pt2... it just sucks that a solid fighter like bradley is going down this road and will take a loss but at the end of the day he has to feed his family and this is the biggest fight of his life and biggest pay day and proably the most he will ever get in a fight
a couple of years ago I thought floyd was a borring fighter, but in this time i think floyd its very good, his defense is spectacular, i practice little boxing my self and i try the shoulder roll and his metod is very effective, i stil dont like it the way he attacks but i have great respect for his defense. floyd is a great fighter
if i was getting into any business whether it be, sports, marketing, accounting i will claim to be teh best and strive to be teh best so that i will be the best
The problem is nowadays, are the "fans". People don't even understand the rules anymore of boxing. They just wanna see a middle school type fight with a first round knockout, and if a fighter like Floyd is taking his time and picking apart his opponent, they call it a "boring fight with no action" or "hes running away from him the entire time". They don't wanna love the sport, they wanna say their fighter is the best and that's the end of it, every other fighter sucks to them.
@Hannibalscousin It's compelling to see a smaller guy taking big risks against a dangerously larger opponent. It amazes the crowd. Exciting fighters lay it on the line. Floyd landed no punches with authority that would hurt Oscar or even swell his face. He landed some quick surprising shots that Oscar didn't see but not enough to slow him down. Floyd's defense is not all that impressive with a good ref who won't allow the elbow wrestling. Floyd's an HBO fighter who De La Hoya christened for PPV.
@pkbosslac if floyd doesnt want manny then i think it would be better if he went ahead on what his other stated option was and move up to fight martinez or something...because he & pacquiao are the only good welterweights now
With Floyd Mayweather you gotta let your hands go! Just because he popshots doesn't mean you have to. Castillo proved that & Oscar had his best rds when he let his hands go! No clinching, no elbow wrestling. Center of the ring combos! Oscar had a great plan. Due to his age and inactivity, he couldn't carry it out properly but backed Floyd away with the jab which is very important. Just couldn't time good counters shots or score inside. Age, inactivity and decrease in hand speed was the problem.
Floyd has fought top competiton records of fighter when they fought floyd Ricky Hatton 43-0 Oscar De La Hoya 38-4 Juan Manuel Marquez 50-4 sharmba mitchell 56-5 Zab Judah 34-3 Shane Mosley 46-5 Miguel Cotto 37-2 Victor Ortiz 29-2 Arturo Gatti 39-6 Jose Luis Castillo 45-4 Phillip Ndou 31-1 Gregorio Vargas 40-6 Jesus Chavez 35-1 Carlos Rios 44-2 Tony Pep 39-6 Genaro Hernández 30-1 Victoriano Sosa 35-2 Henry Bruseles 21-2 DeMarcus Corley 28-2 now show me Manny's competition not even close lmao
HE is the best boxer ever he has the highest percentage of winning rounds ever with 85% he has the most 120 fights with 5 currently he is the quickest boxer to win the world title ever he is the only boxer to ever win 6 world championships in 5 different weight classes retiring undefeated HE BEAT 13 WORLD CHAMPIONS WON THE OFFICIAL BELT WHICH IS THE WBC BELT HE HAS THE HIGHEST GATE IN HISTORY HE LANDS ON THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE HE TAKES THE LEAST PUNISHMENT
yea i agree pal williams is a quality opponent who would gie martinez another run dont know why they didnt have a best out of 3 i think chad should stay were he is comfortable and that fight was boring for a second i thought u said the dawson vs pascal fight was boring that fight was great but i dont enjot watching hopkins any more since he is older and i think he should have walked out a while ago ... think martinez should fight chavez, williams tie breaker and ward before he retires
But i think the bradley could be interesting, bradley looks very hungry and he is in great shape, stamina is great he thinks in his mind he is top five. he is a very smart and aware fighter. but he has a suspect chin, take a look at his fight against kendall holt when he got knocked down with a left hook bomb, he got up quickly but he was wobble he had the presents of mind to take a knee and recoparate but i think he will rough up many with headbuts and those lopping right hands,what do u think?
pt 2... and i do agree that ward is a problem at his weight and i agree he will not budge by getting drained yea they were boring no really a fan of dawson but respect his fight game
@Hannibalscousin I could point out 2/3 occasions in every round of FM's 41 fights that would 've worked to the advantage of his opponents. Yep Ortiz is a brawler & if he can make Floyd trade he could win. Mosely didn't really catch him on his own, I'll call it a lucky punch but the right punch. Floyd seemed to be carelessly setting up to block or counter & inside punch, but Mosely threw the straight one two from a distance. Great Instinctive punch! The 2nd punch Mosely landed proves my point.
@onlyjoetee Well, I'm just gonna wait and find out for everything for this one. I just realized but I've had myself thinking and being excited too much every time this card comes up. Judging by their age, neither side should chicken out on this one.
@Blackjaynut Oscar was a middleweight on the night while Money weighed 147, so I think it would be in his best interest not to trade and/or wait for him to tire wouldn't you? Floyds best punhces for me are the Left Hook and the straight right hand, he didnt land many hooks but landed several straight rights. He actually made Oscars legs dip at one point, not bad for a welter. Now I cant think of one clean noteable punch from Oscar in that fight and I watched it a few times.
Pac fought De la Hoya (Hatton, Mosley and Marques 2 out of 4 also, as a matter of fact) after Floyd (so they were even older, ergo if Floyd's fights were irrelevant because of the age, his were even more irrelevant). Pac has been KO'd 3 times in his career. Floyd never. Pac was KD'd by Mosley, Floyd wasn't. Pac was KO'd by an even more aging JMM, FM not even KD'd. Floyd didn't refuse to fight Pac, Pac refused to take the test.
paquioa and roach has stated they have two more fights left, the one with bradley and one more with whom ever. and mayweather says that he will not give manny half of the share. Plus mayweather said he is retiring at 37, floyd makes 36 in february 2013, plus he will ge out of jail in september 2012. and u know he isnt going to fight again until probabaly may 5th 2013, since a mega fight takes six months to build. i think if manny beats bradley he will face marquesz one more time then retire.
@pkbosslac thing is we dont know how strong floyd's chin is since he took those shots from mosley and went forward and still threw punches too...and we dont know if he has any power since he doesnt look for knockouts anymore and just looks to embarass his opponents with his technical skills...i would like to see some of the old floyd though watch?v=-04I1Wmbpwo&feature=related
@pkbosslac thing is pac fought hatton oscar and now mosley who is old after mayweather and people act like manny is p4p king and then with all the catchweight fights for belts??? and mosley couldve fought floyd like he said he would when floyd calld him out the first time...like u remember back in the late 90s early 2000s floyd was calling out people but he was up & coming and nobody wanted to fight him because of how good they saw he was...so he had to wait on fights
@Hannibalscousin Floyd is very good at distracting his opponents & they end up behind on the cards through inactivity. Not exchanges. Actually keeping Floyd thinking is the key to beating him. Nothing occupys a guys mind more than punches coming at him. There are blueprints to beat him, but nobody can make Floyd fight guys who have them. He's a great fighter but not unbeatable.
Yea adrien is a problem fo real he would be the next star if he keeps his head on and doesnt underestimates anybody. Gamboa is as good but he has know defence, he is lightning quick with ridicoulous power, brandon rios is more of an inside banger, he lost his last fight but they still gave it to him, devon i think is a good boxer, put he needs alot more power if he wants to fight at 147 with the likes of , berto,ortize, mayweather, pacquioa etc. But check gamboa out.
Pacquiao fans usually dont have answers for your questions. Thats how it goes. JMM gave it to Pacman and instead of making him fight JMM shortly after their fight he draws it out for years so he can get older and slow down. Mayweather weighed more than JMM that night, but the weight hurt him more than helped him. So why use it in an argument? He beat him with speed not power
I like your research, thats exactly my point manny didnt start fighting anybody before he fought barrera before that nobody cant name one fight from their head who manny fought, He fought Barrera and morales they were past their prime, he fought marquez three times all the outcomes he lost, he fought hatton and de lahoya after floyd had beaten them, cotto (145) and margarito (150) catch weight they were not at full stregth. Lets not talk about Joshua Clottey he just stood in front of pacquioa
@pkbosslac im not forgetting pac is small...im saying it makes no sense for him to have fighters come down to his weight to fight 4 belts that are weightclasses above him....why does he have margarito come down in weight to fight catchweight for a vacant belt? y cant pacquiao go up in weight? cant say nobody else has gone up...the best example is roy jones jr when he put on 18lbs to go up 2 fight for a heavyweight belt and the guy he fought still outweighed him by 33lbs...he won though
@Ronz93 if u knew anything u'd kno it takes 6 months to make a fight happen in these modern times which makes it impossible to fight as often as they used to
Floyd clearly won the first round. Oscar won the second but the best punch was thrown by Floyd at :57 seconds til the end of the round. Hard straight right lead caught Oscar coming in
Preach. And lets face it Mayweather/Pac has just become a mythical prized fantasy fight. Its more hype than anything else. The longer it doesNT happen the bigger it gets. ANd if a fight is not that great, is not that big a deal or is not really worth its weight then JUST b/c more time passed without it happening does not make it special or anymore mean it SHOULD happen. Am I making sense. Its not like that in even near every fight BUT this is definately a case. I doesent happen so fans wonder y
@jcpnw sorry meant trainers. but regardless. roach has been defeated by mayweather once already. he didnt have a good gameplan. what makes u think he can get another plan to work this time? manny isnt as smart as dlh
@Megaman310 and look at hatton how great he look against pacquiao than he was when he fought a bigger mayweather. same as marquez how great he look at 130 when he fought pacquiao than when he add 12lbs when he face an overwieight and much bigger and younger mayweather.
@kimanthonydavid His hair line isn't receding. I've seen him when his hair starts to grow back or isn't shaved as close and he still has plenty of hair. I just always wondered because most people who shave their heads do it because they're going bald or just don't like the way their hair looks.
A young fighter has the best chance against Floyd Mayweather. As Mosely pointed out in his comments about this upcoming Ortiz fight; Floyd's movement may have decreased with age and inactivity. The most effective weapon against Floyd's style is FRESH LEGS.
Not to mention, If you think that Marquez outclassed Pacquiao because he has excellent countering, yet Mayweather beat Marquez and counter punched him all night, completely outclassing him..what do you think would happen with Mayweather-Pacquiao? He would outbox Pacquiao all night. Just like how Ali was able to beat Foreman and how Leonard could keep up with Hagler.
Boys, you make me happy, every other Floyd video is littered with Pactard comments whereas there are some actual intelligent responses and exchanges going on here. Thanks for helping me keep at least a little faith in humanity.
the fight we'd love to see many and floyd no doubt about it.. if there is an analogy to it it would be like a siege of a castle. Mayweather's superb defensive tactics vs manny's relentless offensive barrage anyway the one who wins in the above match up is the one who makes his opponent commits blunders and the one who loses without a doubt is the one who get's too complacent (I'm not talking about floyd's boxing style here). anyway as for me i don't like technical fights its quite boring.
@pkbosslac people act like they dont know other fighters ducked mayweather and now complain about him not fighting pacquiao...like why didnt pacquiao fight mosley after mosley took the belt from margarito? instead of turning down mosley twice because he didnt wanna fight catchweight and now they go after mosley...the first fight against castillo could've gone either way...i watched that fight and it seemed pretty close...but i dont know if judges socred it on the fact castillo fought dirty
Besides Pacquiao, all the fights in the future for Floyd will be at 154 lbs! So he better start eating now. Paul Williams, Sergio Martinez, Miguel Cotto, and Canelo Alvarez would all give Floyd things in the ring he's never seen before.
@Hannibalscousin The flurries brought the action which should've counted on the cards. The only way De La Hoya lost was by fading in the later rds. He neutralized FM's best attack punches & kept him on the defensive for most of the the early rds. Oscar's combos were mainly used to agitate Floyd to make him fight. Floyd couldn't set up anything to throw at Oscar, which is why in his own admittance he was waiting on Oscar to tire out to land punches. FMs performance was not worthy of Pay Per View.
@1988jedi Mayweathers win seems more impressive though, Oscar wasnt too out of prime and didnt have a stupid weight picked for him here and mentally he wanted this fight more i think
Against a bigger ODLH who was comfortable at his weight....who fought a FMJ who was smaller than him.....and he abandoned his jab because Floyd would counter over it
The worst I think is that Pacquiao vs Marquez, this last fight, everyone and their deaf and blind Grandmother knows Marquez won, and Floyd Mayweather said it best "If Pacquiao lost, then HBO and the other promoters knew that the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight would never happen because he wouldn't be that great, but they let him win to keep the hype". I mean this fight isn't gonna happen, Manny is too old for someone like Floyds shape, theyre almost the same age and Floyd is still 2-3x faster.
@pkbosslac point is people say floyd cherrypicks...pac does too...every1 fighter cherry picks to end up in a fight beneficial to them...whether its to gain fame fortune or just to dominate their opponent...another point is people will create more hype over pacquiao winning because he'll go in brawling vs hit & not get hit...every1 has their opinion...when i first got into boxing i liked tyson 4 brawls...but now i think its funny watching a person try hard only to be outclassed technically
Thank you finally someone with some common sense about fighting!!
Floyd's corner advice in every fight: "Keep doing what you are doing, keep doing what you are doing". lol
How mayweather rolls these shots is nothing short than outstanding
He's always positioned to throw a good punch, and evade an attack if necessary. I agree: Very balanced footwork.
My 2 Fav Boxers of all time,Floyd Mayweather and James Toney,both defensive masters,both shoulder rollers,both from Michigan..
Mayweather is really sticking to that shoulder block. He neutralize Oscar's right by pinning it. Makes me want to see the Judah fight with Floyd.
MAYWEATHER, THE GREATEST BOXER THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN.
It's like watching Bruce Lee do his thing! A man among boys. I love seeing the greatest at their best.
good quality, thanks for the upload
people constantly criticize Mayweather for not destroying DLH in this fight, but this was his very first fight at 154lbs, over an experienced hall of fame boxer after just moving up to 147. He had two fights at 147lbs before having to move up to 154lbs and barely managed to make 150lbs.
10:37 Roger Mayweather-" Let that bitch get tired, he ain't doin nuthin but walkin in. LMAO
@pkbosslac may traded with mosley...didnt expect him to take that shot in the 2nd round as good as he did...and that was the cleanest hit ive seen him land...he also traded punches alot in his earlier more offensive days before switching to his more defensive style tho...i miss that
You MUST keep it CLEAN AT ALL TIMES, you MUST PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES! What part of that Ortiz and Mayweather haters didn't understand?
And I love how its like "FLOYD WAITS FOR THEM TO GET OLD AND THEN BEATS THEM" Ya but Floyd ages too, so what you're saying is Floyd gets old just like the other fighters yet his ability to remain as good as he is, NEVER changes, which I can agree with because he's a great fighter. 50+ fights later and look at Pacquiao can't even knock people out anymore (Probably because of lack of steroids), whereas we see Floyd still handles opponents like their in grade school.
@pkbosslac most anticipated and most talked about fight 4 a long time if it actually goes down
mayweather's a little different now, older and slower, but seems stronger and more relaxed.
@PureMetalBrute Floyd has fought 4 southpaws Mitchel,Corley,Judah and Ortiz he handled them all quite comfortably
the thing is, almost every one of DLH's punches are blocked, partially blocked or dodged. It's very difficult to see, but you can tell by the sounds of the punches landing.
It's easier to do if you ignore the crowd and commentators.
Superb quality video.
@ashywigan777 How did Oscar win when Mayweather landed more punches and Oscar missed more?
It took Manny Pacquiao 40 fights to be finally recognized as a good fighter, he fought NOBODIES for 40 fights until he finally gotta chance with Juan Manuel Marquez in his 41st career fight. On Pacs 42nd fight, he had already lost 2 fights and had 2 draws, and his 43rd fight he would lost to Erik Morales. It took him literally 40 fights to actually make it somewhere.

Yea that's because Mayweather fought DLH at his natural walking around weight and Pacquiao fought a skinny drained weak DLH but people don't want to talk about that! And let's remember that this was Mayweather's first fight at 154lbs
@devilonthebay its the defense that makes Floyd so technically superior,that and his ability to adjust to every situation..
Any other Sugar Ray Leonard fans? I'm a huge fan of his and a fan of Floyd. Sugar beat Hagler the same way Floyd has beat alot of opponents, with speed and flurries. Floyd has a very good talent, its called WINNING!
@bobbytza13 how do you feel about that fight last Saturday? I told YOU that Floyd wasn't gonna fight Ortiz like he did Oscar. you just gave me some credibility. Thanks, dude.
@jmarron1993 I agree. I've always liked it when Bayless was the ref.
pt2... it just sucks that a solid fighter like bradley is going down this road and will take a loss but at the end of the day he has to feed his family and this is the biggest fight of his life and biggest pay day and proably the most he will ever get in a fight
6:50 Lenard Ellerbe.....this dude be havin too much fun rubbin ointments on floyd lol
a couple of years ago I thought floyd was a borring fighter, but in this time i think floyd its very good, his defense is spectacular, i practice little boxing my self and i try the shoulder roll and his metod is very effective, i stil dont like it the way he attacks but i have great respect for his defense. floyd is a great fighter
Unfortunately, Bruce died at a very young age. Short lived greatness.
de la hoya grampa body is hilarious!
With Mayweather's Stance, He'll never ever can beat Pacquiao
@pkbosslac shoot if we ever saw some of the old floyd in a fight it would be good
if i was getting into any business whether it be, sports, marketing, accounting i will claim to be teh best and strive to be teh best so that i will be the best
@RandomLevitation Thaaaannkkk yyyoooouuu good to know theres educated boxing fans out there
The problem is nowadays, are the "fans". People don't even understand the rules anymore of boxing.

does anyone have de la hoya vs Wilfredo Rivera????? cant find that
ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Floyd's gloves are huge in this fight
Floyd Mayweather jr. for president 2016
@mavswegner age doesnt always matter and he did good in this fight the only thing is he stopped using his jab
@pkbosslac if floyd doesnt want manny then i think it would be better if he went ahead on what his other stated option was and move up to fight martinez or something...because he & pacquiao are the only good welterweights now
With Floyd Mayweather you gotta let your hands go! Just because he popshots doesn't mean you have to. Castillo proved that & Oscar had his best rds when he let his hands go! No clinching, no elbow wrestling. Center of the ring combos! Oscar had a great plan. Due to his age and inactivity, he couldn't carry it out properly but backed Floyd away with the jab which is very important. Just couldn't time good counters shots or score inside. Age, inactivity and decrease in hand speed was the problem.

pt 2... and i do agree that ward is a problem at his weight and i agree he will not budge by getting drained yea they were boring no really a fan of dawson but respect his fight game
larry said the first jab that ODLH threw snapped mayweather's head back! ahahahah that jab didnt even land 7:19
@foremanblessed what does the ring announcer's race have to do with anything ?? I'll wait for an intelligent response
@Hannibalscousin I could point out 2/3 occasions in every round of FM's 41 fights that would 've worked to the advantage of his opponents.

Does any notice Freddy Roach in Oscars corner at 01:53 ?????????????????
i wouldve luv 2 have seen a prime mayorga at 147 vs floyd, would b interesting in terms of style
its crazy how the ref let de la hoya hold like that man wow straight up bear hugs and shit
3:11 to start fight
gotta love roger
@pkbosslac thing is we dont know how strong floyd's chin is since he took those shots from mosley and went forward and still threw punches too...and we dont know if he has any power since he doesnt look for knockouts anymore and just looks to embarass his opponents with his technical skills...i would like to see some of the old floyd though
watch?v=-04I1Wmbpwo&feature=related
@pkbosslac thing is pac fought hatton oscar and now mosley who is old after mayweather and people act like manny is p4p king and then with all the catchweight fights for belts??? and mosley couldve fought floyd like he said he would when floyd calld him out the first time...like u remember back in the late 90s early 2000s floyd was calling out people but he was up & coming and nobody wanted to fight him because of how good they saw he was...so he had to wait on fights

@MEXICANCHUGGER you realize it was Oscar who demanded everything in this fight, including glove size, right?
Pacquiao fans usually dont have answers for your questions. Thats how it goes. JMM gave it to Pacman and instead of making him fight JMM shortly after their fight he draws it out for years so he can get older and slow down. Mayweather weighed more than JMM that night, but the weight hurt him more than helped him. So why use it in an argument? He beat him with speed not power
I like your research, thats exactly my point manny didnt start fighting anybody before he fought barrera before that nobody cant name one fight from their head who manny fought, He fought Barrera and morales they were past their prime, he fought marquez three times all the outcomes he lost, he fought hatton and de lahoya after floyd had beaten them, cotto (145) and margarito (150) catch weight they were not at full stregth. Lets not talk about Joshua Clottey he just stood in front of pacquioa
@i3RiCKxx thank you
@pkbosslac im not forgetting pac is small...im saying it makes no sense for him to have fighters come down to his weight to fight 4 belts that are weightclasses above him....why does he have margarito come down in weight to fight catchweight for a vacant belt? y cant pacquiao go up in weight? cant say nobody else has gone up...the best example is roy jones jr when he put on 18lbs to go up 2 fight for a heavyweight belt and the guy he fought still outweighed him by 33lbs...he won though
@Ronz93 if u knew anything u'd kno it takes 6 months to make a fight happen in these modern times which makes it impossible to fight as often as they used to
Great!
Floyd clearly won the first round. Oscar won the second but the best punch was thrown by Floyd at :57 seconds til the end of the round. Hard straight right lead caught Oscar coming in
Preach. And lets face it Mayweather/Pac has just become a mythical prized fantasy fight. Its more hype than anything else. The longer it doesNT happen the bigger it gets. ANd if a fight is not that great, is not that big a deal or is not really worth its weight then JUST b/c more time passed without it happening does not make it special or anymore mean it SHOULD happen. Am I making sense. Its not like that in even near every fight BUT this is definately a case. I doesent happen so fans wonder y
mayweather fast as fuck lol. credits to both fighters.
@jcpnw sorry meant trainers. but regardless. roach has been defeated by mayweather once already. he didnt have a good gameplan. what makes u think he can get another plan to work this time? manny isnt as smart as dlh
@Megaman310 and look at hatton how great he look against pacquiao than he was when he fought a bigger mayweather.
same as marquez how great he look at 130 when he fought pacquiao than when he add 12lbs when he face an overwieight and much bigger and younger mayweather.
Roger Mayweather said "Most people don't know sh*t about boxing" You are a prime example...smh
@kimanthonydavid His hair line isn't receding. I've seen him when his hair starts to grow back or isn't shaved as close and he still has plenty of hair. I just always wondered because most people who shave their heads do it because they're going bald or just don't like the way their hair looks.
@BenGenio He's so technically brilliant that theres nothing else to tell him..
A young fighter has the best chance against Floyd Mayweather. As Mosely pointed out in his comments about this upcoming Ortiz fight; Floyd's movement may have decreased with age and inactivity. The most effective weapon against Floyd's style is FRESH LEGS.
Not to mention, If you think that Marquez outclassed Pacquiao because he has excellent countering, yet Mayweather beat Marquez and counter punched him all night, completely outclassing him..what do you think would happen with Mayweather-Pacquiao? He would outbox Pacquiao all night. Just like how Ali was able to beat Foreman and how Leonard could keep up with Hagler.
Boys, you make me happy, every other Floyd video is littered with Pactard comments whereas there are some actual intelligent responses and exchanges going on here. Thanks for helping me keep at least a little faith in humanity.
the fight we'd love to see many and floyd no doubt about it.. if there is an analogy to it it would be like a siege of a castle. Mayweather's superb defensive tactics vs manny's relentless offensive barrage anyway the one who wins in the above match up is the one who makes his opponent commits blunders and the one who loses without a doubt is the one who get's too complacent (I'm not talking about floyd's boxing style here). anyway as for me i don't like technical fights its quite boring.
@pkbosslac people act like they dont know other fighters ducked mayweather and now complain about him not fighting pacquiao...like why didnt pacquiao fight mosley after mosley took the belt from margarito? instead of turning down mosley twice because he didnt wanna fight catchweight and now they go after mosley...the first fight against castillo could've gone either way...i watched that fight and it seemed pretty close...but i dont know if judges socred it on the fact castillo fought dirty
Besides Pacquiao, all the fights in the future for Floyd will be at 154 lbs! So he better start eating now. Paul Williams, Sergio Martinez, Miguel Cotto, and Canelo Alvarez would all give Floyd things in the ring he's never seen before.
Ok so let me ask you a question, what's makes him a better fighter?
@Hannibalscousin The flurries brought the action which should've counted on the cards. The only way De La Hoya lost was by fading in the later rds. He neutralized FM's best attack punches & kept him on the defensive for most of the the early rds. Oscar's combos were mainly used to agitate Floyd to make him fight. Floyd couldn't set up anything to throw at Oscar, which is why in his own admittance he was waiting on Oscar to tire out to land punches. FMs performance was not worthy of Pay Per View.
@onlyjoetee
bro the game changes if your fighter is a southpaw you can ask floyd that too
Lampley was on DLH's joc this whole damn fight. Listen to him at 8:38 trying to argue against what Steward is saying which is totally true.
@1988jedi Mayweathers win seems more impressive though, Oscar wasnt too out of prime and didnt have a stupid weight picked for him here and mentally he wanted this fight more i think
you're on your own on this one lol :p
Against a bigger ODLH who was comfortable at his weight....who fought a FMJ who was smaller than him.....and he abandoned his jab because Floyd would counter over it
The worst I think is that Pacquiao vs Marquez, this last fight, everyone and their deaf and blind Grandmother knows Marquez won, and Floyd Mayweather said it best "If Pacquiao lost, then HBO and the other promoters knew that the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight would never happen because he wouldn't be that great, but they let him win to keep the hype". I mean this fight isn't gonna happen, Manny is too old for someone like Floyds shape, theyre almost the same age and Floyd is still 2-3x faster.
If Pac would have fought this version of Oscar(Energized & Hydrated), he would have lost.
@vIPOIPSIHOTv It wasn't Jerry Roth it was Tom Kaczmarek.
@pkbosslac point is people say floyd cherrypicks...pac does too...every1 fighter cherry picks to end up in a fight beneficial to them...whether its to gain fame fortune or just to dominate their opponent...another point is people will create more hype over pacquiao winning because he'll go in brawling vs hit & not get hit...every1 has their opinion...when i first got into boxing i liked tyson 4 brawls...but now i think its funny watching a person try hard only to be outclassed technically
