He really had amazing power before he started moving up. Knockouts off of counters. Insane Speed. Kudos to TBE. This tape is so motivating. You can really see the growth as a fighter and a man throughout the video. Say what you want about him, he's a rolemodel for real people, trying to accomplish real things. Tells it like it is, and not how he thinks people want to hear it. An ambassador that teaches the youth that hard work and dedication is the only way to get anywhere in life, and you're not always going to be loved, but you'll always be able to back up anything with the proper work ethic. He isn't without mistakes, as none of us are. But if you're looking for a success story. Rags to Riches. Amateur to Pro. Boy to Man. Rookie to Legend. Then look no further than Floyd Joy Sinclair Mayweather. Dude motivates me to be great everyday. Heres the tape. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4C2XGMS5fp4 Enjoy.
absolute genius,if only he would take on all challenges,he could be a genuine top 5 all time I believe if he fought the best.i think hes got the beating of anyone but his bull**** affects his legacy,skillwise and boxing brain second to none
Pretty epic video. Don't like how it loses chronology during the beginning-middle, but other than that, a great video done in the way I like highlights to be done.
I'll never understand this. WHO DIDNT HE FIGHT? Outside of the obvious, and MAYBE Sergio. He fought everyone he was supposed to. Paul Williams didnt deserve a shot. I dont know why thats so hard for people to understand. I think it comes from people saying he had the style to trouble Floyd. But in all reality, what did he do to earn that fight? And in all reality, where does P-Dubb rank on an ATG Scale? Hell, where does he rank on the greatest fighters of our generation scale? Plenty of better fighters than P-Dubb on Mayweather's resume. Sergio was out of his weight class, and he probably could have gone up to fight him. But other than Pac and Sergio, who else was there? 2 fighters do not discredit an entire resume. His resume is full of champions and #1 contenders.
Sergio can't seriously be listed... People only ever clamored for the fight after he won the Middleweight title. Middleweight. If he had started his career at WW or had ever fought at Middleweight before even just once, then you could start to have those thoughts without being a "hater." Otherwise, you are simply that. Does Henry Armstrong lose credit for not fighting any of the great top 10 Middleweights (Overlin, Zale, Bivins, Moore, Mauriello) during his reign as WW champion? Of course not, that would be foolish. Don't change your standards or opinions to fit your agenda. And that's what anybody who cites him not fighting MW's is doing.
I think its the standard that he's held to. Im really trying to think who else he could have fought. Who else Smoak?
as much as i like floyd, pacs story and development is much more inspiring imo plus i think he is the better role-model by far. nice vid though.
I wouldn't say that Floyd doesn't have balls, I also don't think that he has a small ***** for a man his size, but that is a different topic. Floyds main problem is his intellect and ignorance. "What has Africa ever done for me?" Seriously? atsch
People forget Floyd was a boxer-puncher in his early career. He did have pretty significant power in both hands in those lower weight classes. A horrible H2H matchup for pretty much anyone ever around 130.
Do you know him personally? Or are you a guy on a forum judging and reacting to an pseudo villainous image created to increase revenue and exposure? Not trying to be sarcastic, that's a serious question.
Yeah just about anyone. Would loved to see he and Duran at 130 though. I'd die for that. Great contrast of styles
(earlier) Cotto, (earlier) Mosley have all been proven to be rejected by the other side. Kostya and Pacquiao came down to promotional warfare. Williams and Margarito never made sense for a specific date or time frame. It just didn't, regardless of how hard people try to find one. Honestly I'd respect someone's opinion more if their list of guys Floyd avoided was Joel Casamayor and Stevie Johnston, even Vivian Harris or now Amir Khan types, then I would if they listed any combination of (earlier) Cotto/(earlier) Mosley/Pacquiao/Sergio or other MW's/Margarito/Williams...
