The Philly shell does not work against taller fighters, especially if you are a shorter fighter using the Shirley Philly shell. Mayweather would not be able to fight in the 1980s using that style. Imagine him against the 6 foot one Tommy Hearns shooting right hands and Sugar Ray Leonard was also taller than him and Roberto Duran, who had all the tricks in the world and of course, don’t forget about the vicious Marvin Hagler, who could fight south paw or just regular orthodox style.

Oscar telling the truth but FMJ haters wont accept it.

[@whatch638]

Floyd Mayweather jr. is a Paper champion and that's that

[@tyroncline5978]

That's not what Oscar is saying. I'll take Oscar's opinion over yours

⁠@@tyroncline5978Oscar also said Canelo was too inexperienced for Floyd. You taking that opinion over everybody else’s too?

[@fvckyourcomments]

You just look at Floyd’s stats and not watch his film ? 😂

[@theblackhammer4344]

Go back to sleep

[@tyroncline5978]

Everybody who saw the fight you the confirmation ain't no need to believe they would have a different opinion. Go to bed son.

[@UnKnown-nq5hj]

Since Clap Back Thursday's, Oscar's been a buck 👊🏼 Respect ✊🏼

[@acito_20]

Best move of Canelo career . It put him on the fast track

[@borood1188]

Floyd lost to Castillo, La Hoya, Pacquiao and Maidana.

[@CooloWango]

Oscar gives Floyd credit because he acknowledges that Floyd cherry picked Oscar, Pacquiao, Canelo, etc when they weren’t in their prime 😭😭

[@althepal8018]

pac younger than him 45 and mayweather 47 there prime is at same time and Oscar only a bit older ....canelo thats just false cuz canelo would of still came in with same style canelo changed his style a bit since mayweather and conelo was 15 pounds over

[@mauiworld8022]

talking just to be talking 😂 engagement over facts i guess

[@lostee2001]

At the 2:42 mark, Shannon asked how Floyd would have fared against the 80s greats.. but kept on talking without letting the man answer the question.. Oscar was not able to say anything until the 3-minute 26 second mark.. by that time he had to respond to a different comment of Shannon's.. at the 3:23 mark, Oscar had to remind Shannon of the question that he had originally asked. Sometimes we can ask a good question and then talk ourselves out of it before we give the person an opportunity to respond. Sometimes we simply need to ask the question, be quiet, and let the person respond. It is not necessary to ask the question then tell the person how much we know about the sport..

[@gmac_sports]

Floyd ducked and dodge the best fighters in their prime he would wait to fight guys he ducked manny for 6 yrs fight should have happen in 2009, sugar Shane, Oscar so many too name. There was no ducking in the 80s Floyd would have had 5+ losses and he would never beat Sugar Ray ever... Prime canelo over the last 6 years Floyd would have found a way not to fight him lol

[@jamiethomas5849]

So basically you’re saying Manny ducked and dodged fights too because he fought Oscar, Hatton, and Sugar Shane all AFTER Floyd fought them

[@ejkboxing]

Ask Hagler & Aaron Pryor about fighters ducking them. Leonard & Hearns ducked Aaron Pryor & he was 2 weight divisions below them. They both ran to higher divisions to avoid Pryor. Also, Oscar & Shane both tried to duck Floyd & he had to chase after them by going up 3 weight classes.

[@georgepauljr5810]

I got much respect for Oscar giving genuine unbiased Props To Floyd While he's Alive. That's Real 💯O.G. Florida 🌴

[@Marv_1994]

Oscar is a likable person to me regardless of his personal issues. We all have personal issues that we are ashamed of the difference is famous people’s issues get put into the spotlight. I respect him more than Canelo because he at least went into the ring to fight the best opponents. And even though he lost some I respect him. I think Canelo needs to understand that he will be even more highly respected if he just fights the best fighters regardless of the result. But then again every pro athlete has their pride and few things can bring that pride down. Just my opinion.

[@yamabushiwarrior996]

I tuned in to watch greatness.

[@jasonmoses7785]

Let me tell you I trained with Floyd from 2k-2k2. That Mf 1 of a kind. Before the big fame I bragged About dude training. Never seen someone with that much passion and discipline

[@alCuerpo]

It’s great that Canelo took the risk and Floyd gave him the opportunity. The fight could have never happened! This was 2013 and in 2015 Floyd retired. The loss was a passing of the torch and Canelo was in a win win situation with earnings and knowing what it’s like to fight THE BEST at such a young age. Back then Canelo hadn’t even formed his man strength. Canelo’s real strength showed at Middleweight or anything other than 152lbs catchweight

[@barcaman1013]

One of my fav fighter never a dull fight with the golden Boy

[@RedNovaDello]

Respect Oscar for being real. Most fighters would’ve said they would won the rematch. Or things would’ve been different. He said it REAL, NO!

[@Auragamis]

Respect to Oscar for being honest & commendable in his speech about Floyd

[@KizokuOniiUzumaki]

People forget how good Oscar was because of how he acts now 😂. He may have even beat Floyd. Floyd’s father said that he lost. That 111-116 scorecard was outrageous.

[@Ryanphotos1]

Class act here from Oscar! Giving Floyd his flowers and telling it like it is! 💯👏🏻

[@user-fk8mm2qt7d]

This fight is what made Canelo go on to be great and he always kept progressing, so he did the right thing. Fighters shouldn't be ducking fights because theyre scared of losing their 0.

[@Marcocappp]

Met Floyd Sr, He Is A Cool Guy, Very Stand Up.

[@Flipkicker86]

Love this version of Oscar. Humble clear mind.

[@lousmooth]

This is a great interview but what is going on with Oscars thumb on the right hand

[@KRpr0ductions]

LOL. I noticed that in the original video. Not sure... maybe from fighting? But I never noticed it before...

[@bingdirt2091]

He replaced it with his toe!

[@ibaryabaq9197]

Oscar is supper articulate and insightful when he is "healthy." Lots of natural intelligence at display.

[@aliencity9309]

It's great to see that Floyd gets his praise from the other greats

[@cliffordhill2365]

I love listening to Oscar's interviews (I always learn things), but I've always felt that he envies Canelo

[@UnKnown-nq5hj]

Floyd beats all those guys you mentioned, shannon 🤨

[@jayjayjay021]

Was NOT expecting to click this and listen to Oscar give Mayweather props the entire conversation. Interesting.

[@jamesketa2073]

Respect to Oscar to give Floyd his props 👍🏾 Oscar was a great boxer , he fought everybody in his time he's a legend too !

[@boxingesq.236]

Exactly what 50 cent said. Floyd was a Golden Boy fighter.

[@JoeJokes-l8j]

Canelo showed no heart against Mayweather. Maidana however, did show heart.
