Who's still looking at this in 2022 and still loving Floyd Mayweather 😜
Me bro. The man is one of the elite fighters. Nobody in the boxing world as the skill of Pretty Floyd period.
Me
👋🏽
Always go back to his fights
I came here to watch the ending of the match. To see how classy and composed Floyd and his team was after the fight, versus how Tank Davis and his team acted, will determine how Tank will be viewed.
I’ve watched about 15 Floyd Mayweather fights over the past 3 days. How anybody can criticize him in the ring is beyond me. Poetry in motion inside the ring.
Mostly a bunch of idiots who don't know what they're looking at. They're just sheep following the "hate Floyd" narrative....
@@Ispeakthetruthify exactly. The dude was a master
@@Drewski423 His fights just aren't entertaining. I watch fights to see 2 people brawl it out.
The greatest overall boxer I’ve ever seen
@@deedee1533 Go watch MMA. This is boxing, not a high school fight. You’re used to that rocky Balboa bullshit. Real boxing is hit and don’t get hit as much as possible. Muhammad Ali was the greatest Athlete ever and he said “Float like a butterfly, Sting like a bee.”
The fact they were still singing a minute after he went down is crazy 😂😂
Check hook, body jab, footwork, head movement. Complete boxer !
The straight right hand too, a thing of beauty 😎
U know they actually give Floyd credit for being the 1st to throw that STAB/Jab to the body??? I’m not sure exactly which fight it is but they mention it in one of the fights that no1 really used that weapon prior to Floyd
And elbows too when is Cortez going to see that
Arms so long his face got in the way. Hatton just got his ass whipped
R.i.p Roger Mayweather. Thank you for your contribution to the sport of boxing. 💙
What has he done for boxing?
@Jacob Sirak Give me a list of Champions he's trained.
@Jacob Sirak What exactly did Roger Mayweather do to contributed to the sport of boxing? It was Floyd Sr. who taught Floyd all he knows.
@Jacob Sirak *Yawn
@Jacob Sirak Negative, still waiting on what made him a good trainer/contributions to the sport of boxing.
This is the thing that pisses me off about people that hate on Mayweather. He's always extremely gracious and humble in victory. He always compliments the other fighters and gives them their due credit
+Ben Crouch yeah but hes black and really really good
+Ben Crouch That is so true...
+moe salem lol
+Ben Crouch I learn a lot about people expressing their opinion as they watch this type of CLASS A winner that is mayweather, and one thing is for sure, even they can't get in the way.
Did someone use the race card in this thread, fucking hell... GET over it
Back in 23 to witness greatness
Boxers today are lucky lol
Back in 24
I think that was the best check left hook knockdown in pro boxing to date. The way he set the trap down to the reaction the way he threw the way it landed how he dipped out underneath Ricky all of it was just perfect. To me that sequence of events was the epitome of float like a butterfly sting like a bee.
The definition of “setting the trap”
i think the check left hook in Tank Davis vs Romelo was the best till this day
@@tonyebiere551 Yeah that one was good for sure, but where I'm at with that when comparing the two... the rolly ko, was an opportunity that presented it's self to tank and tank took advantage of it. In my opinion what I think makes Mayweather's better, is Mayweather set that up and baited hatton into that check left hook and it was so short and fast hatton never saw it and Mayweather had already dipped out and under hatton before he went down leaving hatton face first into the post 😂. It was just cleaner to me, but again tanks was great as well take nothing away from tank for that highlight reel KO. Just my opinion.
@@ilovelulu8492 I agree with you on the baiting by Floyd, it was in fact genius. However, considering that Tank was much smaller, shorter and less powerful than Rolly and also considering that Rickey Hatton had been worn out for 9 whole rounds and was weaker at the time he was caught in the 10th round making it hard to recover, not taking anything away from Floyd, I would say that a 6th round K.O when Rolly was still very strong and was in fact the one wearing Tank down has to be my number 1 pick.
Beautiful take brother
A guy who has called over 845 world championship bouts says Mayweather is one of the best of the very best and yet the haters still want to try and clown on Floyd. smh
What's the commentators name
@@gametime6764 "the colonel" bob sheridan. Watch Ali v Foreman, hes the guy who made the iconic call that night
That’s because they’re just what said hater’s he’s definitely one of the greatest a whole lot long list that can’t say that bums 😊
This fight gave me Jack Johnson vibes.
Mayweather is top 5 all time.
I was a huge Hatton fan back in the day and the Brits still singing after the KO gave me goosebumps. I still love Hatton to this day, but Floyd is just on a higher level than everyone else.
Finally an honest Hatton fan.
Sang that man a lullaby
@@freudgv LOOL
Lmao hold that L
"Are you here to see Floyd? NOOOOO!"
"Here to see me? YAAAAAA!"
"Let's fuck-ing AVE IM"
::Mayweather destroys him::
The ricky hatton chants and the guy with the drums are hilarious😂😂
The British crowd just took over.
They even made Floyd smile 😊

TheRandomwizard lol I agree
easiest money ever earnt by anyone for real lol
I have thought that so many times. I go back and watch as many Mayweather fights as I can and I have seen his cutman get to actually do his job a grand total of 1 time.
Lol r.i.p tho
Imagine being mayweather and winning in front of all these hatton fans 😂
match is in vegas and fans are Hatton's .. if true think why .. coz mayweather is a point collector .. not a boxer .. he is more of a fencing guy than a boxer
BestCanKeanRob2 But he ended up with more money because of haters who prayed on his downfall
Yesssssssssss lmfao ✊✊✊

@@hwknswltr u r a shit head .. this is not a tennis match where we can see who won .. its a judges call .. enjoy the farce .. and feel good .. I will not see this escape artist even if paid to do that
I have what I call my “Floyd moments”. Occasionally coming back to watch all his videos. I’m pretty having one right now watching greatness. TBE❤
Floyd always had a tank. The most overlooked aspect of him personally was his insane work ethic, despite the public persona. He was nothing less than a stellar professional. Always in elite shape. Always prepared. Always game.
Always prepared to face prime threats at the optimal weight?
@@Kigoz4Life I can't tell if you are being sarcastic, or if you have never looked at the stats of any one of 100 high-pressure, volume punchers that regularly eclipsed his output.
one of the greatest boxers in the world,,,,, defensive 💪💪
@@sowediogola he was definitely great, but his reluctance to face the most legitimate challenges leaves us with no choice but to wonder just how great.
His most impressive defensive maneuvers came at the negotiating table.
@@niceguy1774 who did he avoid? Pacquiao when he was obviously juicing? Floyd cleaned up boxing and you're butt hurt by that? You just wanted to see him lose to a cheater and he did not oblige. Cry about it.
Floyd is one of those boxers that gets better as the fight goes on.
+QU3STION5 That is a bunch of bullshit right there. When Floyd was at Lightweight Ricky Hatton was fighting at Jnr. Welterweight already. When he fought Arturo Gatti Ricky Hatton was at the ringside and was already a Ring Magazine champion at Jnr Welterweight. My point is, if you have been following boxing and even better if you are a fighter, you would know that for a naturalized Jnr Welters, making a Welterweight is very easy. So your excuse for Ricky Hatton here does not fly. Floyd himself was once a jnr Lightweight. Just give credit to the guy.
+QU3STION5 u dont no shit about boxing
+Roy Mustang I'm a huge Ricky Hatton fan, I loved the man's aggression and determination. Every step he took was forward. But the plain and simple truth is Floyd is just a masterful boxer, one of the greatest of all time. If Ricky and Floyd fought 20 times, Floyd would win all 20.
***** Ha ha ha ha ha......Hatton giving Floyd a boxing lesson??? Oh my goodness........Woooow!!! This is the funniest thing I have heard today. Thanks man. Ha ha ha ha
***** Ha ha ha ha......really though....Hatton gave Mayweather a "boxing lesson".......Ha ha ha ha
Im going on a Floyd marathon today, its easy to forget just how good he was

@@dfw.soledout nobody beats father time my man, are you going to tell me Floyd is on his peak?
A Fijian brother and I were the ONLY two Black persons watching this fight in a pub full of white folks in Australia.All the white folks were 1000 BILLION percent certain that Hatton was gonna win by knocking out Floyd Mayweather...They were celebrating before the fight even began..The white women and men were full of confidence,excitement, and laughed out so loud over their beers....and when brother Floyd Mayweather knocked out their boy, the pub instantly became a funeral home.There was silence everywhere..They all looked like they were all about to cry..lol..hahahahahaha..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.I will never ever forget that day.
Watching this back as an adult now with more boxing knowledge. This man Floyd really fought Hatton’s style of boxing duking it out inside for 8 rounds getting Ricky tired knowing his cardio didn’t compare. Then he (Floyd) completely turned up the heat and switched back to his own style in the 9th and finished Ricky not much long after. Mayweather was really a master boxer. 🥊 The strategy was impeccable.
It took Pacquiao 2 rounds.
@@MrMarco855 Hatton was half the man he was after losing to Floyd
@@MrMarco855and of all their common opponents, Floyd beat every one. Pac...... finish that off
@@tyrossbaekon8610 Floyd shouldn't have fought Hatton to begin with. Hatton was a smaller man, fought his entire career at 140 except for one fight. Pac fought Hatton at 140, Ricky's best weight where he had never lost a fight. Floyd fought smaller guys many times. He fought guys that lost or had a draw against weaker opponents in their last fight. He waited to fight guys he feared until they were past their best, and he had to be embarrassed into fighting them. He also fought guys that never fought outside their own country, making them lesser quality opponents.
In his very best prime years, from 25 to 30, he fought these guys; Demarcus Corley,..Carlos Baldomir,..Carlos Hernandez,..Philipp N'Dou,..Victoriano Sosa,..Sharmba Mitchell and Henry Bruseles. Those 7 guys when Floyd was in his prime is an embarrassing fact. Only Baldomir wasn't 'c' level in that group, but he was past his best at 36. Floyd was about 9 years younger.
Cotto was in the crowd watching him fight Bruseles. Cotto anticipated fighting Floyd soon so he went to check out the fight. Cotto was undefeated, in the same division, but he wouldn't fight Floyd for 7 more years. Floyd came out of hiding after Cotto had 5 brutal wars in a short period of time. Instead of the 7 bums Floyd fought, he could have fought Cotto, Mosley, Kostya Tzsyu and a long list of others that were much better than the 7 guys he cherry picked.
Floyd challenged Winky Wright publicly in the ring, Wright had his manager there in 2 days with a contract. He gave in to all of Floyd's demands, he wanted to fight Floyd. Floyd started acting scared and he backed out after calling Winky out. Floyd also took a vote from his fans. He told them whichever opponent they chose between Khan and Maidana, he would fight. They voted overwhelmingly for him to fight Khan; Floyd fought Maidana. After all of that, he lied to his own fans.
After Maidana pounded lumps on Broner, Floyd was scared of him as well. He bribed Maidana, paid him an extra 1.5 million$ if he would agree to wear the soft pillow gloves that Floyd picked for him. Maidana accepted, it was doubling his salary for the fight to 3 million$........ Maidana had more than 40 fights, none of his opponents had any problem with his gloves, he wore the same gloves in every fight. Only bitch Floyd whimped out, secretly bribing Maidana to wear marshmallow gloves. That's a coward if ever there was one. Imagine Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson or any fighter for that matter, asking his opponent to take it easy on him by wearing soft gloves. Then Floyd still has the nerve to claim that he's the GOAT. He's not the Goat, but he's definitely a horse's ass.
@@marcusclarkson2657 Pac beat every one of them and beat them much easier than Floyd. You don't want to go down that road, Floyd is the bigger man by 10 lbs. or more to begin with. Trying to compare him with Pacquiao as if they're the same size is nonsense. Even though Pac was always smaller, he beat the same guys that Floyd fought and beat them more convincingly. Pac beat guys Floyd ran from. Thurman beat the brakes off of Guerrero, then Floyd made Guerrero his next opponent. Ortiz just fought Peterson at 140, had to settle for a draw. If Victor couldn't beat a 'b' level guy at 140, why would chicken shit Floyd fight him next at a higher weight?
Floyd could have fought at least one or more of the new guys that came along or the toughest guys available, but he didn't. Instead of fighting Danny Garcia, Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter, Kell Brook, Errol Spence, Bud Crawford, Joshua Clottey, Tim Bradley, Paul Williams, Winky Wright, Erislandy Lara or some other top quality opponents, he chose Victor Ortiz, Robert Guerrero, Andre Berto and some guy that wasn't even a pro fighter. Which group looks like tougher opponents, the chumps that Floyd fought or the long list of guys I mentioned, all of which wanted to fight Floyd?
Ricky Hatton just received a boxing master class lesson from the best boxing professor in the world. The best part of the lecture was in round 8, and instead of 12 rounds Floyd decided to cut the lecture short cause Hatton wasn't learning shit.

Back in 2024 to watch this masterclass
I never get tired of watching Floyd Mayweather the best pound-for-pound ever
He'll no he didn't throw any lunges
Floyd is the best
Floyd ALWAYS throws the correct punch...
onlyjoetee Floyd is so accurate
That left hook was on time
👍👍👍
Even though his most effective is his left elbow !!
big yes
damn he broke Ricky Hatton down like good weed
Lol!
+Rastaman Miller Hatton couldn`t land to the body.
+Mark Anthony if Ricky could of fought his normal fight would a been lot closer fuckin elbows
Lol. Hattons game plan was grab and hold!!
kickerse13 lol ikr berto too he still my home boy doe
I literally been watching old Mayweather fights just for the commentary… When Roger said, “I told you he can’t fight, he doing all that wild ass shyt” I hollered! 😂😩 Floyd was just different. RIP Roger! 🙏🏽
I'm binge watching his fights as well...we're in science class lol. Roger was an OG for sure lol
Best Roger comments where at the Arturo Gatti fight i coul'nd hold myself.
😂😂😂😂😂
Roger never had to say a whole lot to Floyd. But when he did, it was pure savagery. 😆 Everything he said after after round 8 had me🤣🤣🤣
Yoooo lmaoo
To think Floyd fought most of his career in front of crowds that hated him and he still kicked ass. This guy had an enormous self belief. Like him or not Floyed was on another level to anyone!!
I cant stand Larry Merchant, he wont give Floyd credit no matter what he does
GULLY6290549 because he knows how bad Floyd Mayweather is and the asshole just won't admit it
Larry merchant want Floyd to keep on fighting unroll Floyd loose .
Then Larry merchant will be happy .. 🤔 but Floyd is smarter than that ..😂🤣😂
That's part of the reason he left HBO
Osirus B lol Floyd has nothing else to prove. He is the greatest
Should've never had a job!!
Hatton must've felt like he was stuck between a rock & a hard place in this fight. Floyd pot-shotted him from long range, walked him into his powershots, & once Hatton worked his way inside, he found out that Floyd's defence is just as effective in close, as it is from a distance.
yeah floyd puts you in a mixer. Conner thought he knew what he was doing but floyd was just playing him haha
kufujitsu abosotely✊
One thing about Floyd his whole team is loyal asf he stayed down with the same guys since the start never changed trainers had the same guys in the ring with him everytime and that’s how you stay winning loyalty and dedication
Great boxer but he did pick and choose the right fights at the right time too. Clever matchmaking. He avoided certain fighters like Paul Williams, Margarito, Khan and Pacquiao until Marquez KO'd him.
Thank god for CZcams! I love how we can go back and watch these classic
Can't nobody see him! Rest easy Roger!! You'll forever be in our hearts!!😢❤
Whatever happened with ol' Roger and that woman he beat up at a hotel?
I've watched a lot of fighters in over fifty years. I have never seen anyone better. Period. I just watch his matches over and over again. So smart and so supreme then anyone I have ever seen in boxing. Period.
Rickey Brown mayweather one of the best all time. I think Ali is goat though! We didn’t even get to see him in his prime
@@amitm1993 undefeated but the shittiest boxer? That makes Shane Mosley, Hatton, De La Hoya, and Maidana absolute bums then. Go watch WWE. Let the grown ups talk about boxing kid.
Amit M maidana was throwing a lot of punches that fight but he was missing a lot too
mayweather don't need to retire he can be champ till the end
@@amitm1993 you don't know shit about boxing
Hopkins wanted Floyd to lose so damn bad. Dude is literally in De La Hoya’s ear the whole fight. We are the only people on the planet that will root against our champs.
im a floyd fan and black but you gotta be the biggest brainwashed liberal ever to think we have to root for whoever is the same race as us instead of whoever we like more as a fighter. nothing wrong with a black man rooting for hatton
u reaching bro
@@nddavi58it’s kind of true though. Beat example is Inoue vs Fulton… Inoue had his whole country behind him while a lot of Americans wanted Fulton to lose
Even the British were surprised at how many white Americans were rooting against Mayweather. The British root for their fighters Black or White. America is just an ignorant nation.
I don’t think people really appreciate the greatness. Then when you watch this 15 years later in 2022 you realize you should’ve appreciated that time more
I will not appreciate holding the whole fight
appreciate the greatness? he was fighting with his back against the wall 9 out of 10 rounds. grappling and poking elbows.
@@Frietbakkerclan1wonder why Ricky's camp never called this out. Why Ricky accepts his loss as the lesser boxer.
Maybe you don't know wtf you're talking about.
I love that commentator that says "Floyd is just a master boxer" every Floyd fight. Literally only one and a half minutes into this fight I'm like "That's just pure genius, so smart etc." Floyd is that damn good!
So?
very true 👊👊
Master dirty boxers he was fighting always scared
All I heard the commentator do is complain about Floyd using his elbow and forearm to negate hattons constant clinching strategy. You can tell he was for hatton
You don't see too many check hook KOs. Absolutely gorgeous. I forgot about this one.
Only Floyd
ye you forgot this one because it was so memorable ye?....... mayweather worst boxer of all time
Ricky was a victim of that soul power 👊🏾💪🏾🥊
And overconfidence
Wow! I just watched how Floyd set up the knockout.
In the last 15 second's of 7 round, he back's into the corner, several times, allowing Hatton to follow him, but he does NOT throw his check hook, he only dips. This was done to train Hatton to NOT expect the check hook, or any counter when he follows him aggressively into the corner, Wow. Now the trap has been set for the Knockout because Hatton thinks when he follows Floyd into a corner, Floyd will just duck, or grab him. Then in the 10 round, POW!! In Chess, it's equivalent to the Queen's Gambit. Floyd was a master.
Floyd's boxing mind will be analysed for centuries to come. And it'll take top scientists to figure out how his boxing mind operates. The Greatest of them all! Yes, greater than Ali
@@tyrossbaekon8610 He cherry picked and snorted dope before every fight in his dressing room. Floyd couldn't carry Pacquiao's jock strap, never mind Sugar Ray Robinson and dozens of others.
@@MrMarco855 Juan Márquez knocked Pacquiao out cold. On the otherhand, Mayweather may or may not have touched the floor in one fight with Zab Judah out of 50 fights. Pacquiao even lost to Jeff Horn, good grief, JEFF HORN!!!
“He kept coming I hit em wit some big shots some big body shots and he kept coming. I see why they call him the hit man”....LMFAO.
Arturo Shotty You’re an absolute genius for highlighting the humor in that statement......wow! 🤣🤣💯✌🏽
BestCanKeanRob2 lol cheated ? Please explain
BestCanKeanRob2 then wtf was hatton doing lol
BestCanKeanRob2 he was only using the elbow to push hatton off from holding him , he gave his shoulder he never turned his back , hatton was the one hitting behind the head. Ducking isn’t against the rules. With all that said how would any of that be an excuse for getting knocked out with a clean blow. You wouldn’t be saying shit if the outcome was the other way around
Arturo Shotty 😂😂
I just can’t see how anyone could not see how great this man was/is
They all see, and they all know, but the hate is real. But! That's how Floyd made his multi-millions, by defying the haters.
They see it but they are pigs and have no honour.
because his not
Where?????😂😂😂😂
@@N-E777are you blind?
This TKO along with Floyd’s victory over De La Hoya, made Mayweather a Superstar! ⭐️ TBE
I just love watching Mayweather fights, he’s definitely my all time favorite an absolute Boxing genius!! The fact that he walked away from the sport undefeated, with all his faculties and filthy rich 💯💪🏾🥇💰
The thing with Floyd is that his style looks so unexciting to the casual fan. But he is an absolute master of boxing. His intelligence in the ring is second-to-none. Ricky's style is far more exciting to watch but it wouldn't work for Floyd. He stalks his prey and waits for a moment to pounce.
Absolutely, yes, he gets away with more than he should.
SS it's part of his shoulder roll
This is fun artistic shit to watch right here. A true master at work, and yes the casual fan has no business. I'll watch any Floyd fight and be amazed at the artistry of his movements.
Craig Lee and that's what most fans notice plus the referee, judge's and who bank rolled him. That has been the boxing game but Floyd was a great boxer and I would have liked to see him fight others that where in his caliber in certain times but he made it his way and most highest paid athlete was a boxer so he's the greatest in that aspect. Can't take it from him so he owns it along with downsides that piss his fans off.
WTF SF yeah he's that good, he was always ready and what's your favorite bout in his career?
Pretty difficult to beat a guy who's still at 90% in the 10th round, while you're at about 40-50%.
And just as a reminder, Mayweather's 90% is still better than your 100%.
I like that, i like that alot lol.
🥶 true
Nice said
His 10% is probably better than our 102%
Basically
I always come back to this fight time and time again. The way Mayweather chose to fight Hatton’s fight from the beginning and got inside, rough housing with him only to switch to his slick boxing style suddenly in the late rounds; to finish the job. The rare feeling of conflicting emotions I always have watching this fight because the constant aggression between the two kept the Ref stepping in; but was still exciting. The check left hook he KO’d Hatton with in the right corner that will forever be burned in my memory. The way he began to set it up and catch Hatton constantly with it from round 8, through to the end. This is just another of many MASTERCLASSES by Floyd. Another World Champion of many he conquered for his own legacy. He truly is the greatest pure boxer ever in the sport; TBE. We won’t see a boxer this special for generations. Living and witnessing his reign was a gift to us Boxing fans around the world. Lovers of the sport will always appreciate his greatness; sooner or later. I love to see the comments from fans who come around years after they study the game. That’s real greatness. Misunderstood.
Well said my friend yes mayweather is the best 🔥🔥
He had no business fighting a little guy like Hattomn when a dozen or more full welter weights wereavailable. Easy to look good against smaller guys. Snorting dope before every fight should disqualify all of his wins. Want to see proof?
@@MrMarco855 go to sleep buddy lol
@@roelguerrero17 😂😂😂
This is a fight he wanted before he left Top Rank
He asked 20 million for Delahoya or 10 million for either Hatton or Cotto & Arum turned him down said the money wasn't there
The greatest decision he made in boxing was buying out his contract with Top Rank he made those fights he wanted & got paid a hell of alot more than what he was asking
One of the Prettiest Set Up Knock Downs leading to a Knock Out Ever!
Back peddled into the corner luring his Jaw Bone into a Left Hook that Damn Near Knocked his Head Clean Off.
VICIOUS!
I'm so glad they were singing that stupid ass song when Floyd dropped him.
this is probably the 50th time watching this fight and it still gives me chills. the support in the building for hatton... the confidence of hatton being 43-0 41 knockouts... fans chanting " there's only one ricky hatton " that fucking place was rocking !! wish i could have been their to experience this. floyd aka the GOAT!
31 knockouts and Muhammad Ali is the Greatest ever.
If he was the GOAT he wouldn't be fighting smaller guys and cherry picking his entire career. Snorting dope before every fight in his dressing room doesn't win him any votes either. Sugar Ray Robinson would beat Floyds ass all night long. He began his pro career at 131-1, was 85-0 as an amateur. Combined he was 216-1 in his first 217 fights. He had 109 KO's in the pro's and 69 KO's in 85 amateur fights. SRR ducked nobody, he fought 7 or 8 times a year and everyone knows that Floyd couldn't carry his jock strap. Floyd lost 6 amateur fights, none in the pro's because he paid the judges. Floyd knocked out Ortiz on a cheap shot and Hatton, a smaller guy. Those are his only KO'S in 10 years. SRR knocked out more then that on his way to the gym every day.
@@MrMarco855 He knocked Hatton sorry ass out. It was no cheap shot when you eat the last 10 punches. Ortiz headbutted Floyd and got what his dirty as deserved, knocked clean out. He's not the Greatest but i can't let you lie like that. 1 things for sure, he'll wear your ass out any day of the week. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
HBO Letterman & Emanuel Stewart picked Hatton lol
@@jamesm4047 So, PacMan picked Hatton to huh? 🤔 Foh. Floyd technically destroyed every fighter he faced. I don't agree with his technique but he whipped ass after going back watching those fights. He let them pass 5 rounds. All of them. He put on a clinic against Canelo's fat ass. Had him KO'D in rd5 and let him survive. As a matter of fact, I'm about to watch that shit right now. James M? I'll tag you in on the shout out. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Still looking in July 2023!
Never gets old!
Classic!
The best consistent cutman ever is in Mayweather Jr 's corner., I loved that guy
Hatton's game plan for this fight was to walk into every punch mayweather threw
Club-fighter talent.
But he was too weak.. hopefully some other time if not never
Yeah it was. But to his credit he knew he couldn't box with him. He was just hurling himself at Floyd and hoping Floyd wilts before he did. Unfortunately for him that didn't happen. But props to Hatton for trying like a warrior.
Mayweathers dad has told his boy everything to do....cut the boys throat....sad times
big facts
7th round was always Floyd's transition takeover round. He had you figured out and totally disected after six. The best ever..
Now drake you da best I ever had
The way Shatton bopped his head on the turnbuckle was priceless... :)
That dome of Hatton bouncing off the ring pole is absolutely legendary .
This was my first time watching Floyd box many years ago. I hated his guts (didnt realise he was doing it to sell the fight, back then).. but after slowly watcing Floyd's previous fights, how he counters, dodge + pot shot, slip, roll, combo + def roll and slide, it made me realise he is master boxer. no one comes close or anywhere near his level.
None
Who can?
Chicken
Easy.....willie pep and pernell Whitaker to name a few...
Once Floyd took over Promoting he made sure the PPV numbers were correct and he was saving his hands.He was a superior fighter throughout his whole career
Roger at the end of rd. 8..."don't worry, they'll rescue that muthaf.cka" classic Roger
😂😂😂
Round 8 was when it all started to go wrong for Hatton. Floyd turned up the heat and really lit him up. Hatton was done after that.
This fight and Canelo figh are Mayweather masterpieces , pure flawless boxing🙏🏾
+Arturo Gatti was up there
Man if floyd said U.K. fans take y’all a** back home I would of died laughing lol
Like him or loath him, Floyd Mayweather is the Professor of Boxing, & in all aspects of Boxing. In all professional sports, we've all scene athletes lose their temper, & as such, they all lose their composure inhibiting their performance. They're called Frustration Fouls. It happens in Basketball/Football/Baseball...etc. Mayweather NOT once did he lose his composure much less his laser like concentration & focus. They say the Boxing is the calculus of fighting, therefore, Mayweather is the "Albert Einstein" of Boxing. It's my objective opinion that Floyd Mayweather is the greatest Boxer who ever lived. Yes, better than Mohamed Ali. I can't believe what I just witnessed, absolute greatness, with classy sportsmanship to boot.
🧂🧂🧂
That tenth round knock down at 49:40 is my top 5 favorite. I've never seen that happen before in my life. A double doink ko.
He did it to Canelo too but didn't drop him
Mayweather's conditioning is unreal. He never gets tired. Round 12 is like Round 1 for him. He hardly even looks out of breath.
I remember going to the gym the following Monday and trying to throw that check hook!! Lol😂
Floyd at 29 vs. connor at 29
Oh wait.. nvm ...he beat him at age 40 by simply walking toward him until Connor gassed and almost passed out on the boxing mat.
29 year old floyd man that would be murder lol. Imagine if Conner Faught Canelo or GGG right now? haha
Connor would be still in the hospital right now if Floyd was 29.
@jantje de bie your boy got saved by the ref at 229 and begged khabib not to kill him sit your ass down
That was a joke. Floyd made one adjustment and the fight was over. Connor was like "we didn't expect him to come forward like that". Really, nigga? U didnt expect one of the most versatile fighters ever to be versatile? Yeah, aight.
jantje de bie Mcgregor would try to box in the street too. Get his ass rocked by a quick check hook lol
Hatton and his fans back then were just as annoying as McGregor and his fans today lol Floyd been there and done that.. nothing new
And Floyd beat both noisemakers.
You don’t get fans like us in the uk
jantje de bie The UK has nothing to be that excited about in sports lmao.
@jantje de bie you don't have the American skill or talent
jantje de bie I’m sure the reason Europe has more Olympic medals is because it’s much older than the U.S. We’re only 243 years old man. On top of that the entire continent of Europe is split into many countries so that means whether France wins a medal or Spain or Italy or Greece or the UK, it all falls under Europe. As big as the U.S. is we’re only one country so our wins come as a whole. Another thing I forgot to mention is the systemic racism our country is built upon, which makes it even harder if you’re a minority here, which also equals crazy good minority athletes (you should be no stranger to them, Prince Naseem was an absolute beast). But either way it’s not a landslide, you guys are better at certain things and we’re better at others. Since we’re on a boxing video what’s your opinion on who dominates the sport?
Hattons post fight interview is so honest. Like, "he was better inside than I thought. Faster. Stronger than I thought. I couldnt find a way to be effective". Hatton was a beast and had nothing for Floyd.
Floyd is a boxing machine. He can adapt to any style of boxing and he prepares to use his opponents style offensively rather than only prepare to be defensive
He didn't start dat tyson
@@andraegarcia5104 never said he did
It's mandatory for many boxers to learn more than one way of boxing
Floyd was originally offensive with the phillyshell
Then bcame more defensive with it
this man was diving head first into floyd like he was a swimming pool and ppl wonder why floyd puts the elbow out there.
He just didn’t realize there was a shark in the water.
Just retards who say these things haha they fight how they want and what works best, you see people go in on Floyd saying that he runs.... ok even if he crawls for 12 who gives a fuck. Just win
Ya these announcers are pro Hatton...Hatton is a clod
Tom Cass show me the part where I said he ran... learn to read.
@Tom Cass so true floyd never run he is stepping back to avoid punches then set for counter punches. People who say he is running knows nothing abiut boxing most of them are casual pactard fans.
That shoulder roll is something amazing
Deflecting at its finest.
It's not a shoulder roll mate, its an elbow roll in the face of hatton😂😂😂
Facts
@@jongbaltonado1082 hey MATE, HATTON LOST DEAL WITH IT. No excuses
It put him in the right position to throw those forearms and elbows.
Three fighters that had NO business in the ring with Floyd: Gatti (rip), Corrales (rip), and Ricky Hatton.
Bonus: McGregor.
Facts !
I'm back Dec 25, 2023 just to witness Beautiful Brutality! 🥊T.B.E.🥊
Mayweather’s greatest gift/talent/ability and what separates him from every other fighter ever is visible at 56:50. They had just brawled during the 8th round, and floyd isnt even breathing heavy when the round was over. His conditioning is second to none. He earns his check outside the ring, for sure.
Exactly. Floyd said he trains for 20 rounds
Floyd is so fast that he was dropping his hands baiting Hatton in knowing that he could read the punch and counter before it landed. His speed is unreal.
yea he literally does it to everyone, thats his pull counter, his straight right shoots out like a jab, he literally has the best defense and best counter in boxing history
6g yr ft uufc y⁵6⁶6th GTFO6 yo4 65tttH gyro t tu 7t
And people say a prime Canelo would beat prime Floyd lmao.
@Smokin insert name here pack bro r u 8. man said 'xD' in 2021.
@Smokin insert name here pack Mayweather beat all ur favorite fighters that’s why ur mad
Mayweather is a great and fought every single person who mattered during his reign. I would of liked to see him fight Sugar Ray and Hagler and Hearns and Chavez and Duran.
Damn This fight is like 15 years old. I was tripping because I thought I was older than him.
Round 4, wow what a performance by Floyd. The mauling on the inside in the corner at 24:43. The pot shots to the body straight after it. Making Ricky miss all his punches. The body shots on the inside at 25:43. The short uppercut at 26:06 and stiff jab straight after it. The pot shots up close at 26:28 and that FUCKING BEAUTIFUL step back, right hand to the face straight after it OMG. Then that one two and push away right after it. At 26:33 catches Ricky coming in with a right hand and lands uppercuts on the inside as Ricky is leaning in. Making Ricky miss every single punch while landing short sharp body shots. Floyd really started to time Ricky perfectly in this round, worked out his movements and punch patterns and woud counter in between so beautifully. Absolutely phenomenal. No words for a guy like Floyd. A true master of fighting
You nailed it, sir!! Just reading your comments a year later.
Natural god given ability. No matter how hard you train, you don't get to that level unless you have that god-given natural talent and boxing IQ. Unreal.
Talk to these Cassies lol. Yell
Round 8 was better
Sir, your brilliant Fight analysis was absolutely correct... Wow.
God damn larry merchant hates how good floyd is it's hilarious lol
true.. ive been watching floyds fights recently u would think floyd was a bum if you only listen to Merchant lol
Thay's why Floyd went off on Larry after that one fight.
Said, "You don't never give me credit."
@@J-Hue the Ortiz fight right? Lol
This is because they don't want to see a black man at the top.
@Bohanable Bo I thought Floyd did the fighting. You mean you helped him?
Floyd Mayweather, and Sugar Ray Robinson, two of the best that ever did it.
Woah woah woah your pushing it
@@xenotic_lowks290 Not hardly at all.
Roger Mayweather corner advice always so funny. Right b4 the 9th round. "Just keep doing what you"re doing. You breakin' that hoe down. Don't worry, they gonna rescue that muthafucka" 🤣
You don't know shit about boxing 😅😅😅RIP uncle Roger 🙏
Floyd "IP Man" Mayweather tells his student, "when you can take the pebble from my hand, then you'll become a real boxer."
That was David Caradine from kung fu😊
Floyd's shots in rd8 are so ferocious and sharp. It's incredible, he was unreal.
Even Barrera reacted to that 43:00
Ricky was never the same after this fight for sure.
Was that announcer really saying a makeup call 🤣🤣🤣🤣 they really hate this guy 🤣🤣
"Folks you're watching a master boxer at work."
All the Hatton fans went home heartbroken after this fight
Yep hatton may have lost but hatton fans won the night if you know what i mean american sports fans are awful this was in america too
@@olliered9924 no
And boozed up like idiots...lol
@@olliered9924 It perfectly demonstrated why England deserved to lose to Italy.
@@PlannedObsolescence Bit weird this is about boxing and im talking about the atmosphere idk how the english fans creating a better atmosphere then American fans demonstrated why england deserved to lose to italy?
The english people kept singing after their boy got shredded.
Lolllllll
A virtuoso fighter at work. What a performance!! Tne good thing is that his fights are all on video. Those fights seem to age well, I mean, the more you watch them the more you find in them to understand why he was so good.
Anyone else see Denzel Washington getting hype in the back.😂
Michael Page yup
You see Mark Cuban??
I want to see this, when ??
YES, JUDGE MATHIS, AND WESLEY SNIPES THEY WERE SO HYPED.
Yup he saw what we r all saw
I remember leading up to this fight people was swearing that Hatton would knock Floyd out! Floyd gave him the old school beating that I knew he would 👊🏾🔥
#TBE #RIPUncleRoger
I remember this fight..I remember I was rooting for the ''Hitman " Hatton
Indeed
Facts
@walter white stfu with the dumbass excuses
C_Double_4 from Manchester myself, have to admit Flloyds just too good, those stats tho Jesus Christ. 38-0 vs 43-0
I was there that night. The atmosphere was supernatural. I really thought that Ricky could win the fight, right up until the weigh-in the day before, I could tell the occasion had got to Hatton. He was unusually arrogant and sweary with the crowd, not as focussed as he should have been. I couldn't believe some of the stupid mistakes he was making, like rabbit-punching in the biggest fight of his life, and it was so disappointing what a big-time loser this one loss made of Hatton in the years to follow, but Mayweather really is something special, it was a privelage to witness him in his prime that night.
He is an outstanding classic Champion! A thrill to see him outwit his opponents! I wish him well.
He'll naw outfit of mp
Must've been frustrating to fight someone on the inside and still miss a lot of shots.
The King of Adjustments is what Floyd is
Lmao facts you can only fight Floyd dirty but he still counter that smh THE GOAT
The king of the distance
Hatton was going for broke he knew Floyd was better on the inside & the outside
Floyd decided to beat him at his own game
Mayweather is one of the BEST boxers in the world! Just pure class and a master boxer as the man said. Those UK fans are wild as ssh!
Nazier Ahmed what “4 fights” did mayweather lose ?!
Like him or loath him, Floyd Mayweather is the Professor of Boxing, & in all aspects of Boxing. In all professional sports, we've all scene athletes lose their temper, & as such, they all lose their composure inhibiting their performance. They're called Frustration Fouls. It happens in Basketball/Football/Baseball...etc. Mayweather NOT once did he lose his composure much less his laser like concentration & focus. They say the Boxing is the calculus of fighting, therefore, Mayweather is the "Albert Einstein" of Boxing. It's my objective opinion that Floyd Mayweather is the greatest Boxer who ever lived. Yes, better than Mohamed Ali. I can't believe what I just witnessed, absolute greatness, with classy sportsmanship to boot.
He is not ONE of the best, he IS the best.
@@jahimuddin2306 Nah. Top 5 for sure. But not number 1
He is in the discussion of the greatest p4p in the history. In my opinion is close between him, Ray Robinson, Ray Leonard and Marvin Hagler.
Who’s still watching in 2023/5months left
This was the beginning of the end for the Ricky Hatton legacy. He was never the same after this fight. He left it all in the ring here.
You mean he realised he's just a brawler, not a boxer...
@@mymodel6 He was effective with his style for 43 fights until he ran into Floyd.
For those who don't know, Hatton was coined as The One to solve the Mayweather riddle.
Yep lol
He sure was. He was supposed to be the one to beat MWs ribs boneless, Hattons signature attack. I was rooting for him too. I was rooting for both, but i was hoping for a good fight and got one.
Because he's more of a wrestler than a boxer? Funny they
Enjoy this. We will NEVER see another boxer of this caliber again in our lifetime. Floyd was special.
There's literally nothing he CAN'T do. He beat Hatton in Hatton's specialty...fighting on the inside. The way he completely neutralizes opponents and makes it look easy is almost criminal.
It's a shame he will never get the respect he deserves from the haters because they don't like his personality. But his CHARACTER doesn't diminish what he did in that ring. Truly the greatest boxer to ever live.
You better to resign idiot
Agree 100% the Best EVER Better beleve it
Never know what you haVE until you lose it give him his flowers now that he can smell it...is HONESTY N DECENSY TO DO SO...
@Michael Lawson
PERIOD! In ANY weight class!
You can say what you want, but there's NO boxer in ANY other class who's beaten more world champions or Hall of Famers than Floyd. None.
Prove me wrong.
the fuck is wrong with his personality can someone kindly elaborate
@@DiaAkin his record of 50 wins is iffy as his record should be either 49-1 or 48-2 because of Maidana and Castillo, he’s a great boxer but he avoided fighters like Margarito and Manny. Sure Floyd used the excuse that Manny wouldn’t get tested but Manny later Sued Floyd for that and Floyd shut up after he lost his case.
As for fighting the most champions, ig he did but the level competition was different, he was arguably the best of our generation, well him or Manny.
It’s debatable how well he would of faired against Prime Manny, Leonard, Robinson, Durán, Hearns, Hagler, Whittaker, Nicolino Locche, or Chavez Sr.
I’m not saying they all beat him but he definitely would’ve struggled, Robinson, Hearns, Whittaker, and Hagler best Floyd 99% tho.
Them slow motion series of sneaky right hands that 3rd was REALLY a mf!!!🥊🥊
Just watched the Gatti fight and came back to this Floyd is incredible man so quick and precise
