Evander Holyfield on Mayweather vs. Pacquiao. No Pacquiao KO's because fighters trying to survive

[@Jorgito1121]

Pacquiao dont score tko since 09 cause fighters run for survive.. Thanks evander for clarifying that!!

[@khargalibang8461]

Jorgito1121 he’s a legend himself now I want to talk to smart audience who pretend they know boxing and throw some cheap critics of Pac-Man there you go listen to big daddy yea

[@carlobiendeluna8362]

Pacquiao ducks Valero

[@BringerofrainBoxingTalk]

Pacquiao still has A grade power...

[@hymenbreaker3246]

mayweather F grade power

[@vitamincisgoodforme]

Hymen Breaker But an A grade brain. Like Andre Ward.

[@hymenbreaker3246]

vitamincisgoodforme A grade brain but can't read? AMERICAAAA.

[@vitamincisgoodforme]

Hymen Breaker Has nothing to do with intelligence. Spent more time in the boxing ring than the classroom evidently..

[@didakeepa]

Hymen Breaker well De La Hoya think otherwise

[@alidaygo619]

I have to agree with evander on this a lot of fighters try to survive when they fight pacquiao so it's hard to get knockouts against fighters like that

[@Galwaybanana]

er counter shots are the answer mays pop counter shots i think will frustrate pac but u cant count manny out guy sets his own bar

[@alidaygo619]

BongZilla Cough yeah it's a tough fight Floyd is truly great but I personally think mayweather's patients and 1 punch pot shots would hurt him on the scorecards against manny cause manny will throw a lot of punches and outland mayweather in my opinion

[@Galwaybanana]

***** this is the thing you say manny will land but i have yet to see any fighter land an actual combination on may i can see may land that straight right before many lands that telegraphed right jab i see it like may vs oscar

[@alidaygo619]

BongZilla Cough good point but it's not about pacquiao landing combinations it's about him landing more than Floyd asnd when pacquiao throws combinations he will be successful at times yes pacquiao will miss punches but he makes up for them by continuing to attack and while he's attacking Floyd's landing 1 punch pot shots there cleaner than pac's shots but pac's landing more cause of his workrate and you have to take in consideration pacquiao is just as fast as Floyd if not faster so that's a extra boost in pacquiao's favor

[@alidaygo619]

BongZilla Cough lol bruh your sounding like a flomo to me there's no evidence pacquiao has ever been on anything so I'm not gonna be unfair to manny and be so sure he was on the juice when there has never been proof just speculation

[@PurpNapSwag]

Holyfield speaks the truth

[@kelvs825]

in other words Pacquiao has no Equal in the Ring He is the King! The Chosen one! like in a movie he achieved all but still a humble man what a man

[@mdiesel120]

Hit the nail on the head!

[@everythingkeeshia1140]

So much sense in 3 minutes. Thanks for the upload man!

[@aremdvnasophia]

Manny Paquiao vs Joshua Clottey is a perfect example of a fighter fighting to survive and not win the fight.

[@nklas9997]

Holyfield is always great

[@minhvo5313]

that's the words of a champ.

[@yodhangzien]

PAC man skill is good to watch 100%

[@stevieboy2009]

Now that's an solid experienced boxer talking boxing. I totally agree with Evander, regarding boxers trying to survive. Look at Algiri, he tried to KO Manny, and look what happened to him. I see Floyd trying to survive the entire fight, maybe throw a few straight rights each round, no combinations, Manny, I see busting up Floyds face and body. Both fighters have crazy stamina so it'll be interesting how much wind Manny takes out of Floyd. Age: Manny is 1 year younger than Floyd, Age doesn't mean shit in this fight.

[@vitamincisgoodforme]

Algieri spent more time taking pictures of his meals and posting them on twitter than he did training. Floyd is a bigger fish to fry. Longer reach. More muscular. shorter/lower centre of gravity. Also on Algieri he was probably under his ideal weight considering how tall he is compared to pac.

[@stevieboy2009]

vitamincisgoodforme So glad I saw the 24/7 for them.. Algieri introduced the Egg Avacado toast thing to me. lol its really good!

[@MuddyVision_]

The PacAlgieri fight was a skill mismatch and the pacquiao fans know it ! Stop being biased and be honest the fanboy shit is getting annoying, comparing algieri to mayweather is a joke

[@stevieboy2009]

Manny will still beat Floyd, Will Manny school him? No.. will Floyd school Manny no.. But there will be some beatings.. and i'm pretty sure theres only one aggressive, fast, in and out fighter, Manny. Floyd has skills but I just think Manny will void those by applying his style. Lets see, I like both fighters but I just think Manny has it all, also hes not scared to get hit.. which makes him dangerous.

[@gabrielanselmo3218]

Carl Allen

[@ehmjeigh]

Very true.. Its not about manny dont have KO power anymore. Its about how his opponents fight him.. All of a sudden this big welterweights became defensive and counter puncher. Wants to land that marquez punch on him. Before they dont respect manny's power. Because of his reputation of a KO boxer everyones in survival mode.

[@darunna436]

Salute Respect

[@NosferatuNite]

Anyone notice manny kos started to end once he moved up to 147? Sure he's knocked guys down his power never left him he is fighting guys that are naturally bigger then him and also what evan holyfeld mentioned is absolutely true shane tried to just survive and so did algieri

[@abdulakeem7975]

very well said mr. holy field..

[@VAHOSS]

I don't know why people believe that myth that Pacquiao has a better chance for a ko than Mayweather does... Pacquiao ko percentage is only 4 % higher than Floyds.. Manny's around 59% and Floyd around 55%.. people believed that same shit about Ali back in the day, even though his KO percentage was comparable to most of his competition in the 60s and 70s..

[@boxingfocus]

Take away Pacquiao's early fights (when he was tiny - 106lbs debut to 112lbs) and that % rises massively. Don't forget, Floyd turned pro much later (and thus as a mature adult) than Pacquiao who debuted aged 16. Also look at the faces of the guys in with Pacquiao the last decade - pulverised. Look at the faces of guys in with Floyd the last decade - clean.

[@antoniabufalino5991]

well 80% of Floyd's knockouts came way early in his professional career. He starting losing his power or at least got hand problems or something around 2004.

[@HipBurRn]

on point mr. Holyfield. saludo.

[@MexlycanFilmico]

What Holyfield tried to said is this: I expect fucking Gayweather not to fight all defensive all fight and don't run all night to survive against pacquiao.

[@FearNot777]

i think Evander spoke from experience. well said.

[@Dyphen]

right on ! bulls-eye. 100% correct !

[@fatee5069]

Classic fighters are the realest! So much truth SPOKEN!!! I guess old people are wise. hahaha

[@jgyrwa]

Great assessment HOLYFIELD.

[@DjStabMasterArson]

He's right on the money, once dudes feel that power they backpeddle and get scared to throw their hands and open up, you can see it in their eyes.

[@powelldiesel7422]

Holyfield described Bradley perfectly.

[@FroopieLoopies]

The Spirit of Iron Mike is still on that ear

[@iAmFAUST]

Ok I made a comment on another video that sounded a bit harsh, but I do like this guy's interviews. He gives great interviews and asks very good questions.

[@codyrobinson22]

I'm calling it. Pacman beats Mayweather in 5 rounds via TKO. Mayweather gets overwhelmed. Worst possible scenario for Mayweather-worst possible combo & style to fight.

[@adrenacrumb]

If he actually gets hurt I don't think he has the balls to get knocked out, he's going to try and save himself no matter what. Getting beat down is better for him than knocked out. Going gets tough he's going to hold on.

[@mikehawk8198]

lmao your in for a surprise..

[@adrenacrumb]

Mike Hawk You got Mayweather tip-toeing his way to victory In 12? Do you think he'll bring a skirt?

[@mikehawk8198]

***** i got him outboxing pacquiao and taking him to school

[@adrenacrumb]

Mike Hawk So he's going to be the first guy to outbox him whose face didn't look like someone took a baseball bat to it for 30 minutes?

[@DuduBrownfunnyboxer]

The perfect example of that is..The Chris Algeri fight, Algeri had it all, except his heart was pumping koolaid, and i picked him to win but like i've said before, you can't really measure a guy's heart, once that bell rings.

[@destineetyson7756]

I love you Mr evander holyfiled you are my favorite boxer of all time ❤️❤️😙😙😙❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊

[@eyebeebak]

Hey Fighthub, what camera did you use for this Q&A? clear and beautiful.

[@sean7854]

Floyd going to hug all night

[@jstyles448g]

Hell nal.....marquez, rios, Bradley, algieri, cottey, margarito. ....none of they asses was avoiding contact. He just an over rated puncher. Period

[@RedAxl71]

LOL. Look at all their faces after their fight with Manny. That only means they can take strong punch.

[@antoniabufalino5991]

Algieri, Clottey weren't avoiding contact? Really? Wow.. goodbye

[@crankyboiy]

Grizz Girl ikr.. This guy doesnt know what hes saying.

[@freddiekuger9854]

so your saying your a better boxing analyst than holyfield? ROFL

[@neometalx9]

are you kidding me? algieri was running for his life, he was avoiding contact.. clottey was covering up all night, he was avoiding contact.. margarito should have been stopped like 3 times in that fight already.. the referee was a butcher that night.. marquez has a hell of a chin, and he was getting punch the shit out of him until manny got caught.. who knows what might have happened... Rios? he was a freaking punching bag, his game plan was not to get countered, he stole a page from clottey that night and covered up a lot, he only wanted the in fight, head to head... he didnt even want to jab because at that mid distance he would get countered by the right hooks all night, thats why algieri whos a jabber btw, stopped throwing that left... back to rios, he didnt want none of manny at that mid distance or else he would end up badly like margarito..

[@SuperMpalo]

So much class..

[@jaykingboxing4337]

That mayweather vs pacquiao commercial was so badass!!! Holy crap I can't believe it's official

[@dylanseen7298]

Damn! He's right on the money!

[@johnrodriguez1129]

If HBO and Showtime won't agree to terms, They should sell it to another network. ESPN, MSNBC Sports, ABC Sports, Fox Sports, TNT. Broadcast should never be a road block.

[@espinozaporever4988]

thats !! classy !!! EVANDER HOLY ONLY FIELD!!!!! LOVE U WELL SPOKEN CHAMP!!! FROM YOUR LATIN FANS !!!! ALL OVER THE WORLD!!!

[@MrYoumitube]

This guy not the most powerful or talented fighter in Heavyweight history, but what he had was a heart of a lion and tough as nails and was not scared of no -one. I just hope this Manny,Floyd fight is not pre-arranged and has already a winner. I still give Floyd the advantage he's unbeaten and has won over fighters Manny has lost or had trouble against. But you never know..I hope it's a good fight and they can set up a "Genuine" 3 fight battle before retirement!

[@Tusc9969]

I don't think this will be a "fixed" about...the fight is too big for that and both opponents are under different promoters. As for who will win and why, Floyd has the advantage, not because he's unbeaten..you can't really compare Floyd's opponents to Pacquiao and vice versa , but because Floyd's skills and style will give Manny a little trouble. The only fighter that beat Pacquiao that Floyd beat was Marquez...doesn't mean Floyd will "automatically" win just because he beat Marquez...Styles make fights.

[@PopeAssassins]

Mannys our man if he can't do it no 1 can ! !

[@jerryjones7472]

hollyfield talks about boring fights, his fights with tyson were boring he spent many rounds hugging and holding, is that boring mr. hollyfield?

[@layagvlog]

Eversince Pacquaio beaten Margarito, his following opponents got afraid and avoided to fight toe to toe, except for Marquez and Rios. Mosely,Bradley,Algiere,Clottey-->>These fighters only fight to survive against Pacquiao.

[@MrHeadshot1982]

Who cant stop looking at Holyfield ears.

[@manb4war]

LOL, people are in the ring just trying to survive? Tell that to Marquez.

[@negrodomain9765]

manb4war Marquez was getting clobbered at that fight blood dripping from his nose... before the knockout punch..

[@negrodomain9765]

manb4war Look at the fight again.. pacquiao broke his nose.. pac was winning the fight before the knockout.. marquez would have been finished if it wasn't for the knockout.

[@leynd000]

u need glasses lol. you clearly didnt see that marquez was struggling breathing. he was breathing with his mouth that fight. if pac didnt get knocked out, marquez wouldnt have survive for another round.

[@manb4war]

Do you even hear yourself? Marquez was struggling but knocked Pacquiao out cold...lol...ok

[@HipBurRn]

manb4war with all due respect to Marquez, he was having a hard time to breathe because of the broken nose when he got the opportunity to land his so called luckiest punch of all time. anyway Manny took a pity on Marquez thats why he was off his guard when he got knock out.

I always thought that Floyd will out box Manny like he did to everyone else. Now I think floyd may even go down at least once. Once Floyd tastes manny's power his game plan will change. Manny for decision

[@joekornecki6445]

We'll see, excuse me. But yeah, both fighters have different styles, but Floyd might have to be more aggressive in this fight

[@warrenbfeagins]

LMFAO!!! "Well everyboby knows dat God." LMFAO!!

[@jayjaytolentino3069]

evander is right

[@joekornecki6445]

Good opinion! These guys are still in their 30s(still young and experienced) Oscar Del La Hoya fought both, and he thinks Mayweather is the better fighter. But there are reasons to go for either fighter. We'll see

[@varrelck3292]

mannay just llike u in 1999 1987

[@skillz1855]

Evander has a bit of jealousy towards Floyd,,Evander blew 300 million and a 190 room home that he should've never purchased,, Floyd has that spot now but more so.....

[@lickheaddarry9123]

LMAO skillz1855 Seriously? Why are most of FMJr. fans like that. When they here something bad against their "god" They say it's jealousy, hater. Man wake the fuck up. The dude was a professional boxer. He knows boxing more than US.

[@skotiskiller]

Holy Dave No no no .You don't get it. Holyfield said bad things for Mayweather so obviously he is a hater.Also i like to eat μακαρονάδα.

[@gelzmuzik2465]

Thats exactly what im talking about. Manny's dont have knockouts bcoz fightera trying to survive

[@rogueshinobislash]

The fact that my comments been removed says otherwise eh feuhrer j.smith. :)

[@iRoyalpriesthood]

[@MR.BRODYMAN]

Floyd's gonna turn back the clock one more time.

[@neometalx9]

been saying this since ages, but people like to accuse manny of juicing, to the point they wont listen at all..

[@Elvathar]

I'm calling it Pacquiao getting stomped for 12 rounds and getting stoped in the last round.

[@JoHDify]

well, both fighters tyson and evander choose pacquiao to win the fight.

[@theeadvocatus3343]

I keep hearing people talk about Pacquiao knocking people out. Q: Besides Ricky Hatton,(a few years ago) Who has Pacquiao knocked out in recent memory?

[@bromero64cr]

who floyd ducking mayweather ?hahaha

[@theeadvocatus3343]

??????????

[@samuel1441]

Floyd makes adjustments, not Manny.

[@Flexb123]

This really is a pick em fight. I give the edge to floyd but he has slowed down and if he wants to run, manny has the footwork to keep up with him. I read this somewhere else and kind of agree, Pac should go balls out for 6 rounds, try to take Floyd out, I don't believe Pac can outbox floyd and win on the cards, I think he should give everything he has to fight a 6 round fight, only train for a 6 rounder. I think that may be his only chance to win. Throw absolutely everything at Floyd, just keep coming and make floyd very uncomfortable. If he doesn't take him out within 6, Pac will be dead by the 9th -10th round though. its a risky strategy but think its worth it, he ain't gonna outbox floyd I don't think. Go kamikaze, Tasmanian devil on Floyd for 6 straight rounds giving every ounce you got to KO him. I think that could be a strategy that could work for Pac.

[@Flexb123]

***** If Pac starts slow, gives Floyd time to think, he's finished. He needs to PRESSURE floyd and keep him uncomfortable. By mid rounds I think he will have Pac figured out and don't believe Pac can outbox him to a win on the cards. He CAN and needs to take it right to him and put him out of there. I would LOVE it.

[@Righteous628]

Through his rambling I got theimpression he thinks Pacquiao is better than Floyd.I agree 👍

[@khibaalbuluk6586]

Looooool.. Just look to his right ear.. It looks like a monster ear..

[@Mike348749]

Listen to Holeyfield in the 90's compared to now. Holy shit (pun intended). Dude is clearly suffering brain damage.

[@freddy21ify]

[@quocnguyen9501]

There's no way Pacquiao could knock him out. Floyd won't even get in the ring with him.

[@jeremiahpangilinan8026]

great boxer like manny fight the BEST of the BEST, floyd can't afford to RUN now pressured by two2 giants HBO and SHOWTIME.

[@Raiderfred]

Floyd whooped that ass how you feel now and don't come with that shoulder shit

[@chriszarganis774]

possibly best style and one the greatest fighters of all creation .. i believe him for "some" reason .. i'v been saying same things for ages ..pacman also..they run.. marquez ..god i was sorry for him he was been destroyed ..manny fell for it cause he was bored and without respect ..he paid for it though but in all ..pacquiao creates the most g's out explosive nad sudden punching ..negative acceleration and thats whats makes a punch deadly .. tyson had snap of course but put lots of concentrated mass and muscle behing his deadly straight right .. awesome but different .. mayweather is explosive and fast but not as pacman ..different level ..manny will catch him and eat him

[@justray9235]

If Floyd kept clinching and running from Maidana to avoid getting tagged, then he will definitely jump out of the ring when Pacquiao's in pursuit. LMAO

[@nickname2446]

I didn't realize that Holyfields English is so poor that he can not express his thoughts effectively. This may be due to his boxing career, or his lack of a proper education. He supports Mayweather because he himself was a defensive boxer. Holyfield has been knocked out by using this style. Hmm.. this may run true with Mayweather too.

[@asswuppin]

Bullshit. Pacquiao hasn't had KO's because Pacquiao rarely if ever had one punch KO power. The last KO Pacquiao had was Hatton in 2009. Holyfield is basically saying that fighting "smarter" is a cowards way .. which is idiotic. Bradley and Marquez showed that Pacquiao's opponents aren't merely trying to survive. Bradley in 2 fights and Marquez in 4 fights. Pacquiao hasn't declined in the slightest. His punch output is the same. His tactics are the same and his team is the same. What some have difficulty accepting is that the real change that has Pacquiao seeming as though he has declined is choice of opponents. When Pacquiao got real notice in the sport, it was because he fought men coming off of losses and used MANNYWEIGHT CLAUSES to slow them down and sap their stamina. Once he began fighting men coming off wins and healthy, Manny didn't look so hot. But his fans will hear none of that.

[@dru-chambers]

I agree. thumbs up for the intelligent comment :)

[@dru-chambers]

correction his punch output average has slowed down from 80-50 per round average since dela hoya. I agree on the rest.

[@asswuppin]

CircleInfinite Are you absolutely sure about this???? Because Pacquiao's approach has only seemed to change since he was put to sleep by Marquez. Also, I can believe that his punch output dropped since the DelaHoya fight being that the DLH fight was pretty much at the beginning of his foray into the WW division. But that statistic does not necessarily reflect a decline in performance. Only an adjustment to the new weight in a new division against heavier opponents than he was accustomed to. That was the context of my original comment that you addressed.

[@dru-chambers]

I could tell his punch output and ferociousness was a lot less as i watched the cotto fight not long after the bradley 2. Roach says that pac might have low testosterone, i can tell you another ex roach fighter with low T's James Toney. Hmm suspicious... I thought it was because he was fighting more cautiously than before and would just have a higher connect % www.tooposhtopunch.com/journal/2014/4/18/6ay2wde72x9ozl0nd3vtdix7vfvojv

[@sccs9166]

how can Manny Pacqiao do the knock out if his opponent just ran away from him when they did taste the powerful left (see pacman fights w/ clottey,mosley and algerie? try to fight toe to toe with Manny just like hatton did and the other brave mexicans who got KOed in the end of the fight.i hope mayweather will not bore people on keeping himself too many miles distance from Pacman. Manny did not KOed Margarita and Brenda Rios 'cause they've just wore their gloves to cover their faces like masks and these two cannot execute power punch anymore in the end because of that. har har har har...
