This is classic. Jeff and roger over there looking great. Floyd was always a beast 🥊🔥

[@youngslyy4516]

So amazing to see Young Floyd's first bout. That was a clinic. Cat-like speed, knife -like precision 🥊🥊

[@EugenioRodriguez-rr7nw]

Jeff and Roger and floyd the mayweather dynasty floyd was very young you can tell even in his voices

[@ringmasterjeb3453]

Golden Glove Gym was cool back in 96 in May and June. I remember Floyd was sparring with this young heavyweight kid. I never saw a guy throw that many right hand leads and land them all. He couldn't miss. I did talk with him briefly before I left for that day. Wish I had a camera, a pen to have a piece of History before he became the man.

RIP ROGER MAYWEATHER. Pretty Boy Floyd was something else man.

[@niceguy1774]

Ah.
Back before he made a post-Oscar career of avoiding the most legitimate challenges.

[@kesodabul]

He never changed!!!!

[@rosellejurd1348]

The Beginning of Pretty Boy

[@bankztheone]

he still young

[@silver_chain_1267]

Is that Kenny Bayless the referee?

[@CeazeDaGod]

And the critics say Floyd didn’t have power.. 🧐

[@chiarosuburekeni9325]

There are far better examples of this. The guy he was fighting here was basically like a mechanic or some shit lol. Just kidding but he was in no way solid opponent.

[@emmanuelashak]

he has power but in the latter part of his career he stopped relying on it and just fought to survive not to create any flashy KOs

[@cbcbrown88]

​@@emmanuelashak No he hurt his hands, so he adapted and changed up his style. It's more to boxing than KOs. Yall casuals really kill the sport man

[@emmanuelashak]

@@cbcbrown88 did i say that KOs are all to the sport? no i did not, i aint knocking Floyd for changing his style i’m literally defending his power by saying he never lost his power but changed his style. Man, people who can’t read are ruining our society

[@Ulexcool]

This is where the fraud begins.

[@Zayrius-tori]

Now keep it 100 this Floyd vs Shakur or tank or Devin or Crawford obviously just skill wise who winning all vs this Floyd in this vid

[@cypriankassiankavera9227]

Shakur devin tank will both lose, Bud is there most complete fighter ever so its hard to see

[@cypriankassiankavera9227]

[@johnnytran800]

[@richardbayson3014]

The Greatest of All Time

[@randomuser2789]

Second one here

[@daviddennen7479]

Most boring fighter ever.

[@raaxdrizzio9975]

But you came and watched him and left a comment 😂💀 people who say that are lowkey fans lol

[@decidingpaper6324]

This was back when he was Pretty Boy Floyd, when he was still a brawler, he made the change to his Money May style due to 1, hand problems and 2, needing to adjust against bigger fighters.

[@ashishchettri-1239]

Floyd is running 🏃‍♂️ 👎🏻 his playing style is boring 😂

[@user-kk4xj4ku2m]

Money don't make man..
