Floyd vs. Cotto too. Floyd won, but I thought Cotto put in some great work. He busted Floyd's nose.

Watching Floyd fight is like watching a MLB Pitcher throwing a no-hitter. How the hell can you call that boring. You have to know and understand the fight game to appreciate the genius of Floyd Mayweather jr.

For those who don't think Floyd is exciting I'd recommend watching the first 27 fights of his career. He was 27-0 with 20ko which was the better half of his career. In his next 23 fights he only got 7ko because he was already past his prime and was fighting in bigger weight classes against naturally bigger men then he is. Floyd is the best 130lb 135lb 140lb and 147lb fighter of all time. At 154lb he showed the world he could still dominate the bigger men with almost nothing but defense. If you're a fan of greatness then please watch Floyd vs Ghatti & Floyd vs Corrales. Floyd vs Ndou was also a great fight.

+TJ Waldron I agree. To be honest with you, I can't understand all of these criticisms & innuendos about Floyd's style. He has never claimed to be a brawler, so what's beef about his style? I was never bored by him, simply because its not often you get to see boxing of that quality. But come to think of it, he's had his share of interesting moments -: He was in a war against Cotto, Hatton threw everything at him in their fight, including the kitchen sink, but he couldn't hit Floyd, & Floyd was seriously hurt against Mosely, & especially Corley, & he came back to win. He destroyed guys like Corrales, N'Dou, & Gatti, & even when he dominates with pure boxing, he actually lets fly with meaningful punches quite a bit. Okay, the Pacquiao fight was a stinker, but you can blame Pacquiao & his trainer for that - Pacquiao was hanging back waiting for counterpunching opportunities which never came, or maybe Pacquiao was worried about leaving himself open & becoming a highlight reel for Floyd. Whatever the reason, Manny didn't fight the fight he needed to, to win the fight. Floyd did what he normally does, he wasn't going to change, so it was up to Manny to make the fight. All these trainers who say that if you give Floyd nothing to counter, he's less effective, don't know what they're talking about.

Do you know what a shotgun jab is? You you understand how effective it can be against a less experienced boxer? Do you even know what it is to be shot in boxing?

He only wanted to test his skills against the very best...Paul Williams said that. Paulie was making fun of Manny and salt water healing him....more stupidness which you embrace instead of the fact that he lied. Tell me why the Manny of 2008-2009 REFUSED to BE TESTED and the Manny of 2015 willingly accepts. WHO looks suspicious? Mayweather is the only boxer to be tested rigourously by any Anti Doping body for so long from 2010 to 2015. The same rigourous testing Shane Mosely complained about....which Mayweather did as well.....the same that Manny did and agreed towards doing. USADA has been successful in bringing down the Balco scandal in 2003...it was their labs which were responsible to bring down the case...before USADA such doping was going on rampantly in sports. Shane Mosely was linked to that case....USADA also able to get Lance Armstrong to admit to cheating....USADA was not around before such cheating began...they came on the scene in 2000. Such cheatings began in the late 80's early 90's to the mid-2000's. VADA has come on the scene in 2011 and has had a few false positive tests done.....one such case is the one with Andre Berto who was tested with a FALSE positive and VADA submitted a statement clearing him as the result was due to CONTAMINATION. So your claim that Berto is juicing is also FALSE. However Pacquiao and his team's inconsistent statements on his injury have been the worst set of BS we have had to put up with including the fact that they are being sued at present for perjury in his statement that he was well on his form but later saying he was not. Bob Arum is trying to smooth the water and all Pacquiao kept on doing is messing it up. PR gone south. No pun intended.

Floyds style is the most exciting fighter the way he break ppl down is amazing i rather see him

maybe bonehead fake boxing fans will realize this years from now after they stop hating. No one has been talented enough to force Mayweather into a war type fight. It really does mean he IS great and has the "sweet science" figured out like no one else. It's factual. Everyone has lost trying, almost 50 fighters... so who's fault is it? It's not Floyd's. It's just 2 guys in the ring with a ref... it's up to themselves to figure out how to win. But people would slice their wrists before admitting anything positive when it comes to Mayweather. All because he chose to play the role of the villain for entertainment way back right before the Oscar De La Hoya fight and has somewhat kept doing so on purpose... but new comers to the sport don't know about that.

Man!! I said the same thing about Roy Jones jr. I loved him as an amazing fighter, but he got away with so much because he was so fast and explosive , he didn’t need to practice fundamentals, hence watching him work on the spinning boxing target , showing his defense was way off. Mayweathers defense is smooth , his balance was on point and when using your mind instead brute strength allows you to anticipate what the opponents would do before he did it , and also knowing how to fight through adversity, which Roy didn’t know how to do , hence his ko defeats . Being a trainer myself , I’ve always liked Virgil Hunters training techniques. He’s one of the great trainers ...The problem with fighters these days are , the lack of quality trainers. Everyone who puts on mitts and watches fights believes he’s a great trainer . Or the fighters have people in their corners (yes men/women)but The fighters are training themselves . It’s why old fighters can keep up with most young fighters , hence the old champs contemplating on returning .

Virgil dont blink man!!

Talking that shit lots of gems here🙌🏽💪🏾

Perhaps the most intelligent commentary on boxing that I've heard. Floyd makes it looks easy. He made the dismantling of Canelo look so easy. And he's 100% correct in saying that less skilled fighters can't get out of each other's way. Ward vs. Gatti is the perfect example. Very entertaining to watch for fans, but the truth is that they both were much less skilled than Floyd. Gatti and Ward cannot fight like Floyd because they don't have Floyd's skills. Ward wouldn't lay a glove on Floyd. Floyd would be countering him all night long and would just pot shot him at will. And the same goes for fundamentals. Roy Jones Jr. had superior athletic skills. He was fast and explosive. But, as soon as he started getting older, and he lost his speed, he had nothing to offer. Contrast this to Michael Carbahal. Carbahal has SOLID boxing fundamentals. His hands are always up. He punches properly, and bring his hands right back to his face. He uses his jab, he goes to the body, he has good footwork, good head movement, and he's never off balance. This allowed Carbahal, in the later part of his career, even when he lost some speed, to still hang with Jorge Arce. Not just hang with Arce, but KO him.

Fantastic interview!

A measure of greatness for a boxer to me is when the Trainers and fellow fighters speak on what you are with respect (not fans/reporters)...Outside of Pac, Roach, Cross-dressahoya, and a Fame Seeker not even in the sport who is saying Mayweather isn't the best of his time? It is a shame Floyd is measured only by the last years of a 20 year career (amateur/pro)...he beat guys in every way and took minimal punishment in the process and made the most money in a sport where promoters and governing bodies have been using up and wiping their asses with the athletes for decades. Floyd not only beat each opponent in the ring he more importantly beat the system and is racking in hundreds of millions of dollars out of it. How do you hate that?

Gotta say that because I don't hear enough people talk about it. Pros like Anthony Joshua go to Floyd for advice on how to jab.

He speaks the truth look at Mayweather fights. He’s mastered his craft so well he can fight a whole boxing 🥊 match and rarely get hit. To bloodthirsty boxing 🥊 fans that would seem boring but that’s what the sport is about. To land as many punches as you can and avoid as much or all contact from your opponent as possible. Plus he’s learned the business of boxing 🥊 as well to the point where he’s darn near a billionaire! Give credit where credit is due.

What makes a boring fight is relative to whoever is watching it. You got a lot of guys who just want see two dummies get in the ring and punch each other's lights out.

Straight boxing truth

People who don't appreciate Floyd skill and greatness are just haters!

The mind of Virgil Hunter = Wisdom

EVERY TRAINER(and most boxers)HAVE BRAGGED ON FLOYD/SKILLS. The only people he get heat from are fans who probably never had a fight in real life! Floyd 'checks' a lot of the boxes, HE DOES ALOT WELL. FYI: On Point about Roy. IF speed is your game(because Roy wasn't big on fundamentals,just his athleticism)and u lose half-step, u are now gettin hit w/punches u used to dodge.

he's a great speaker

Who said Floyd’s fights aren’t exciting?? Who are these fans that can’t appreciate watching boxing at the most elite level? When you watch a chess match you don’t say it’s boring because one opponent may take his time to think during the match- you grow in anticipation and understand a master is at work. Go back to the UFC with that.

What he said Hopkins is so true.. when he use to spar nick tiberi out here nick use to give it to him because he never knew how to fight going backwards. He changed that before fighting Trinidad

Virgil Hunter is one of top trainer in the sport of boxing you got to respect him.....

He is so right.

@Themachinegun Absolutely I've said it all over youtube RJJ was a talented once in a lifetime fighter but he took advantage of his speed and his natural gifts. He'd lead with hooks uppercuts hooks to the body overhands something we never saw, then when he got older and lost speed and reflexes he started getting caught and stopped. Had he been a fundamentally sound fighter he could return to that but sadly he never had that in his bag. I also use Bernard who was slow had little power but was so damn crafty which allowed him to fight at 50…

Well said Virgil.

Couldn't have been said better

Excellent wisdom. His thoughts are the same as mine have been on Floyd, Roy J., and Hopkins. No one had better mastery of defense blended seamlessly in with offense like Mayweather. Despite whatever issues Floyd may have had personally, he was the best (smartest and most effective) defensive fighter in boxing history. He made some phenomenal fighters look mediocre.

Very wise man

When you’re at master at what you do , you make it look easy . That’s why the great put in time to perfect their craft and practice the fundamentals, so I. The long run I’m, the wizards can remain at the top of their game

The fights are not exciting to those who wanted to see Floyd lose. To those who enjoy boxing and really study the sport, it’s exciting to see someone with that level of skill just totally dismantle someone purely using his skills, preparation, and mental ability to anticipate everything his opponent will do and nullify any strengths their opponent has and do it so seemingly effortlessly. That is also exciting. But again only exciting to those who love and enjoy the sport. It will never be exciting to those who just want to see Floyd lose or get touched up.

The fact is there are boxers and there are fighters Mayweather is a boxer👌🏽

@Ericston Sloan facts without truth can be dangerously misleading, fact: all boxers fight, but not all fighters box, and fewer still box as well as mayweather, but let's be clear he i every bit a fighter as any "blood and guts" warrior you can name, duran chavez, gatti etc, he assumes the same risk, and has to use the same tools to achieve his objective (you can't win a fight by slipping punches) you gotta hit your opponent, and that is the truth, "truth" is the tapestry that weaves the facts together in order for them to make sense✌🏾

I wish those Roy Jones fans were tuned in.. I tried to explain that same theory on Roy Jones to his insane fans.. If he would have learned the basic fundamentals of boxing he would have been a much better fighter.

Chief Don Reed Roy Jones was the best pure fighter. Wins silver in the Olympics should have been a gold. Olympics must be filled with bums. Beats a prime Bernard Hopkins. According to you Bernard was a bum. Beats a prime James toney another so called “bum”. Gets robbed in the montel griffin fight comes back and knocks him out. Beats Ruiz in a heavyweight match. He dominated all of these fighters but according to you they are all bums.

@@carlostorres8771 When Floyd fought, Gatti, Diego Corrales and others a "defensive" fight? You have not seen Pretty Floyd's career when he was TAKING out his opponents. Also, boxing is the "sweet science" hit and NOT to get hit which floyd mastered; that is, the Money Mayweather in the end of his career was more defensive.

He broke it down to its skin and bones!

I hear so many casual fans down play Floyds career, he cherry picked, he cheated, he boring etc.....but the problem with a casual, is they dont really know what they are watching when they see a floyd fight. The more you learn about the subtleties of boxing, the more of Floyds genius will become clear to you.
