You failed to mention the Pretty Boy era of Floyd's career. The vast majority of the 26 KOs he accumulated happened during that era. Not even the filthiest of casuals can say Mayweather vs Augustus or Mayweather vs Gatti were boring fights. The only reason he fought "boring" in the Money Mayweather era was because he had already broken his hands several times, and he couldn't physically punch like before. Great video all around.

The thing is the best have been fighting the best. Inoue moved to Bantam and literally fought all the best and is now fighting for undisputed against Paul Butler soon. Jermell Charlo just went undisputed at 154 this year, he has been fighting the best in the division hence why he has every belt. Shakur Stevenson just fought the 2 best at 130 and got 2 belts. Josh Taylor went undisputed at 140 last year, he fought all the best dudes at that division besides Zepeda. Canelo just went undisputed at 168 beating all the champs at 168. I feel like people think this is happens in a few divisions like 147 because Spence hasnt fought Crawford yet, but Spence litterally has been fighting the best welters for years the guy only needs one more belt. Mainly this narrative that the best don't fight the best comes from 135 though because its brings in the casual audience with fighters like Tank and Ryan Garcia so people think this happens in every other division without actually watching in other divisions .

It got a lot of exposure even to the mainstream public. Sadly, none of the people I knew where satisfied with the fight, they were like "that's boxing?" "He's just running" and labeled it as a boring sport which broke my heart. I have a lot of respect for Floyd and everything he has accomplished but he has done more harm than good to the sport.

I don't think Floyd himself ruined the sport but the way people/fighters misunderstood what being undefeated means did imo, not taking risks, imitated or coping how floyd thought, etc. I do think that the boxer being the promoter can work if done right, sometimes the promotion itself does jack all with them and were left wondering "man if only". As for YT Boxing, it's just armatur boxing but with people that have a big following in some way, that's how I see it, some of those guys in that scene have been boxing way before this sub genre accorded.

The only thing that I think you could blame Mayweather for is the sacredness of the undefeated record. Sanctioning bodies share far more of the blame as to why superfights don't happen because it's literally their job to make boxing a sport. And then to your point about Mayweather being too boring for casual audiences, how do you explain him being the most watched fighter? He was watched way more when he wasn't getting knockouts than when he was. And then finally, exhibitions and gimmick boxing predates Floyd. Muhammad Ali popularized them.

Couple of points: 1) interpersonally seemed like a super arrogant and unlikable dude, so he was just never my favorite as a younger guy looking back on OGs 2) Ali is the main reason my dude Larry Holmes gets basically no credit. Between the actual fight where the entire narrative was Ali's age (and Ali fans forever holding a grudge from seeing Holmes batter their fallen icon). I maintain personally that no matter when that fight happens, Holmes has the style, size and grit to get the job done. Due to circumstances however, Larry will never get his proper due from that victory, or indeed the scope of his career which i believe eclipsed Ali, and if not for 2 poor decision losses to Spinks that would be an ironclad claim. 3) Ali basically set the precedent that would eventually kill boxing; the idea that personality is more important than skills or the actual fights. No boxer before Ali used circumstances outside the ring to sway the outcome inside the ring the same way as Ali,* and he was the MASTER of that concept, which I personally despise from boxing, new and old. *My bad I forgot about Primo Carnera 😅 That was a lil different tho less about his personality and more his uh cultural background I guess you might say?

Pacquiao's style fit the description of what casual fans want and even Manny didn't out sell Floyd. Even now with Floyd retired he's still doing numbers participating in exhibitions. If anything he brought a lot of exposure to the sport. If people really thought he was the reason for boxing being boring, people would have eventually stopped watching him. But he's still watched today.

Boxing popularity has been declining for decades. He doesn't draw crowds, he loses them. A big part of the problem is that you genuinely have the organization thinking people don't like the "brutality". The actual organization doesn't do a good job promoting its own stuff. They would rather promote someone like Floyd because it's "a safe bet" as the sport for years has lost interest and expects people to pay more for it. Boxing won't really resurge until the organization behind it changes significantly.

I don't think the reason is people not liking "brutality." Pacquiao in that same era was a big draw. All his fights were brutal. I think boxing doesn't showcase their fighters enough. The fighter has to make themselves the draw. Boxing will never be like how it was in the 80s and 90s. Way too many issues with the sport. Fighters don't fight as often. They like to delay fights.

"we should be wanting the new fans to see their is more to boxing then just big strong dudes knocking eachother out" we already do. it's very rare for a fight to be like hagler hearns or a gatti ward type of fight and we have technicians like lomachenko that exists dude. also, you're kind insinuating that heavy handed fighters like mike tyson or george foreman are just dudes who have power and there's no strategy or technique to what they do. at that level you can't just get away with power.

@@bunnyman6321 if the "evolution of the sport" is running, not taking risks, being boring, clinching, making money above all else, then the sport is evolving backwards. take mayweather's cock out of your mouth bro

great video once again :)

Yooo let’s go another banger.

As a pure sport, I think it’s inarguably his impact is mostly negative, but as a money making venture and entertainment spectacle, his influence has been very good

I say KZread really boxing started with the exhibition bout between Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. After that fight, we saw not only KZreadrs, but also Rapper and Co doing it to. Every else I agree with.

Boxers deserve all the money they get, instead of getting exploited like in the UFC where the fighters are the one who generate the majority of profit but get small potatoes in comparison to what the higher ups pay themselves (for doing what amounts to nothing btw).

You give me jxmyhighroller vibes, just with a lot less graphs XD

The other thing is when Floyd became Money Mayweather he didn’t get knockout due to his hands and also fighting boxers who outweighed him by 20 or more pounds

I think the boring boxing problem comes because of the current rules and how these fights works. Floyd to his credit just merely made those rules work to his advantage, getting the most money with the least risk to himself and his business. He's pretty damn smart on and off the ring, leaving nothing to chance. Coupled that with his talent and hardwork resulted to his success. Perhaps a tweak to the boxing rules could make it exciting again. Maybe if the rules favoured aggression and knock outs more than points? Thats something for people who know more about the sport than I am to figure out.

Ali is the most influential of all time hands down, mayweather might be the most influential of the modern era though

Okay, so people have gotta be able to separate Floyd's amazing skills, and career accolades from his impact on the sport itself. Floyd is an AMAZING fighter and one of, if not THE BEST, defensive fighter of all time. Floyd is also unique because his career has two separate fighting styles and personas. "Pretty Boy" Floyd and "Money" Mayweather . Both having distinctive pros and cons. But ultimately, I believe Floyd's influence on boxing hurt the "Fan's" experience and not the fighter; Which ultimately hurt THE SPORT as a whole. First, the fans are denied seeing the best fights because fighters are so afraid of losing their UNDEFEATED status due to Mayweather promotions making such a big deal over it. This made young fighters TERRIFIED of LOSING, not necessarily of fighting eachother. This robbed the FANS of amazing fights like we got back in the day. It also drove up fighter's prices and purse bids. Which made fights harder to be made. But on the flip side, this let fighters have more control over their careers and how much they got out of the sport. So Ulimately Floyd was a FIGHTER'S fighter but ended up short changing fans. It's just the nature of the game.

You hit the nail on this one

If a sport can’t thrive when the star players have the ultimate say in how or why they play, the sport needs to reconfigure how it operates.

Very interesting video!

Bottom line, at the end of the day he will have the most money with the best health. People calling him boring don't understand boxing at all and are just there for a big punch, because it's easy to understand and you know people love easy stuff these days. I hope he makes another billion fighting no talent hype machines.

I’m glad you mentioned his style is not appeasing to the casual fan. Anyone who understands boxing and knows what they watching mayweather is arguably the most skilled fighter ever. Mayweather is a technician of the highest level. Boxing is a sport and the goal is to win no matter how boring it could be. Everyone wants to see a brawl

There is legit no correlation between KSI vs Joe Weller and the MayMac bout... huge reach

When you're the challenger you beat the champion or make excuses. The marcos Maidanna back to back fights derail your arguments about ducking. He literally granted the rematch because Macro was dogging him in the first 3 rounds. So much so that casuals had marcos winning. The best way to describe Floyd is adaptable some fights are won outside of the ring and the win is what's most important.

I think the most influential fighter in history was Joe Louis. He was the reason so many thousands and thousands of young impressionable, oppressed people of colour during the 1900s came to the ring to make a statement and prove they're worth to the overarching cultural racism dominated by people of lighter skin. The art of boxing was so influential, especially for those people. One of those boxers happens to have been a young boy, Sugar Ray Robinson, undoubtedly the most perfect fighter to ever have been recorded wearing boxing gloves. Not to mention Ali, the widely regarded greatest fighter to ever live, talked about Joe in high regard and was even inspired by him as well. Truly Joe Louis in my opinion is an amazing person, a hard worker and a good role model for any person no matter their colour, shape or size.

his impact didn’t ruin the sport even with these youtubers who can’t fight it’s good to see the sport growing

He knew he could walk the walk and talk the talk. After him boxing is now padded record galore

The obsession with being undefeated and the A side came from the Mayweather business and marketing model.

I think Muhammad Ali will forever be the most influential boxer of all time. Boxing today wouldn't even be as rich and vibrant as it is if it weren't for Ali

KZread boxing is not that different from any boxing promotion. It's just from a different medium. It's up to you if you wanna see non-boxers fight or not.

Floyd is rumored to be fighting Deji now lol

Floyd is my favorite boxer of all time, and I agree with the money part and undefeated part, but top fighters Ducked him when he was Pretty Boy Floyd.

Do you have twitter?

Modern boxers focus too much on Floyd's undefeated record and his earnings. They seem to forget he literally had to fight everyone to get to the position of Money Mayweather. Fighters like Lopez, Garcia, Davis, Charlo and Benavitez have yet to fight each other. They lack the old school mentality that the best should only face the best.

You can’t compare Floyd undefeated record to fighters now undefeated record cause he fought the top dogs. And saying he delayed the fights isn’t true cause de la Hoya and Mosley went up and weight and and Floyd offered to fight manny but it was manny and his team that refused to take a drug test.

The problem is casual fans want to see 2 sluggers with no defense go at it like Rocky and that's not realistic and not safe for the fighters. Y'all feel like a fighter has heart if he's willing to get his ass beat for 12 rounds for y'all's entertainment.

the first time i know and watch floyd fight was against Canelo. And as a casual myself back then i found the fight to be very interesting and i become fans of him. He didn't even clinch in that fight and just dodging all Canelo's punch and that was super exiting to watch

Floyed helped boxing he brought more eyes to the sport (=money) he showing that boxer can take control of their destiny. He showing how the 🌭 are made...Floyed broke the fourth wall. That is a plus. Retired boxer can now make money bcz of what floyed did. Don't be short sighted floyed is a Genius he created a whole new lane where "everybody can eat👏🏿

I have just finished watching the Canelo VS GGG III today. I mean...I don't know why, but I did find most of the matches were kind of boring...(except the last one of course). It is not like I dislike Boxing by any means, it is just that I think the MMA did kind of offer a little bit more action and KOs that I found exiting to watch.

Why should fighters not get the most money they are the ones who’s putting their bodies and lives on the line to produce the entertainment it’s only right they get paid what they are truly owed

Legend said" A brute man wanting a brawl fight!!

What's crazy to me is why do alot of Fighters from 2000's to last year Complained that The older Boxers don't give a fuck about them that the only Boxer who embraced them with open arms and helped them get recognition and advice was Floyd, they always say that Floyd was the only one who shouted them out since the beginning and that the Ogs of boxing the ones that everyone praises and likes are their biggest haters

I'm not trying to hate bc this is a good video but everything you said was happening way before Floyd was ever boxing. People were cherry picking, dodging, holding out, and more before him. It wasn't Floyd. It was social media. Jake paul is a great example. You can create hype without fighting the best

Is yt boxing really bad for the sport? Like I m new to boxing and still learning many things but yt boxing is what made me interested in the sport. After watching some fights I wanted to see what pro’s fight looked like so watched canelo vs ggg 1 and 2 followed by many other fights. I don’t understand why the community hate yt boxing like they r not claiming to be best in the world.
