Evander Holyfield says Floyd Mayweather has it all to lose against Manny Pacquiao

[@LeeHill66]

Evander is also a good guy. No trash talk, no show boating,no cheap shots.He and Manny are my favorites

[@mikem591]

Holyfield's analysis is always on target. He usually chooses the winner as well. His analysis is better then the HBO guys and he picks up on the actual issue. Floyd has WAY more to lose then Pacman. Pacman wins if they ever fight.

[@daviddennin9952]

Evander Holyfield , the real high-class person ! Love his analysis !

[@xgk3000]

man is there a part of this interview i would love to watch the rest btw great interview

[@autotunejamaica1]

This is the best commentary I have heard on the situation yet! cudos...

[@LeviJohansen]

@jr103076 sure, but he didn't expect pacman to move up to his weight division.

[@MADMAC572]

This is one of the most sentient interviews I've ever seen Evander give. I've always been a huge fan of his boxing, but here he's just very articulate and a class act. You give 100% and you lose, you've got nothing to be ashamed of.

[@caseybyrom1]

I'd respect Floyd more if he fought Pacquiao and lost than if he never fights him

[@Jonnyboy90s]

+Casey Byrom so now what?

[@caseybyrom1]

+drumslanga352 Props to Floyd

[@Jonnyboy90s]

***** most people would go on a bashing rant. Respect.

[@robertoduran2522]

all i can say is..floyd is not a real boxer. he is too soft for the sport,,

[@TheSunIsMyDestroyer]

give your all, wise words my friend, i had forgotten this a long time ago so thanks

[@TH3USUALSUSPECT]

hahah i love this guy, one of the greatest ever, never ducked anyone and such a likeable dude :)

[@hahabilis2008]

mayweather is jealous about mannys style of fighting very entertaining. when floyd fight i didnt realize i fell asleep i my couch.

[@b3at2]

Floyd is not jealous of being knocked out..but he is jealous that people love pacman even though pacman is not the perfect fighter floyd is.. i know that shit must burn him. Thats why i want floyd to beat the breaks off pacman.. i mean put his ass DOWN!

[@Shangrila777]

JRLM gayweather give shit entertainment, even if he beat Pacman it,s nothing compared to the entertainment that Pacman gives us. we all love Manny for that, guts and glory the real figher, not Chicken coop champion.

[@b3at2]

James tan He gives shit entertainment but his fights sell better than pacmans.. YOU fucking idiots dont even support pacman..

[@shawnrey6327]

JRLM be logical enough..Pacman is asian and Floyd is American..how can you expect an Asian to surpass PPV of an American? considering they are fighter of the same level.

[@b3at2]

Shawn Rey Let floyd fight an asian fighter in asia and see what happens.......................asia as the most people on earth.. lol you see what happens when an american super star goes there.. NUMBERS!!!

[@LeviJohansen]

@AliRidah619 right, but that is not one of the major titles major titles: wba, wbc, ibf minor titles: wbo, ibo poop: wbf, and a few others I don't even remember

[@bigdogfromnj]

Floyd is super rich I just hate to see a great boxer lose his self respect for money.and a dumb undefeated record that nowadays many question. Legacy lasts longer than money

[@b3at2]

I hate to see fellow black men talk like bitches.

[@mikemikes9849]

JRLM only bitches here are you and floyd

[@markinfante6374]

This is the most humble comment ive ever heard. see your self " 1:11 " thankyou for your wide experience in boxing.. i believe of what you said.. well done..

[@chrmunoz]

I watched Areis Spears do his impersonation of Holyfield before this,lmfao it was really hard to watch this interview with busting out laughing...

[@rickmarks5179]

I can't leave out Sugar Shane Mosely and Alexis Arguello as boxing's true gentleman. Gentleman Gerry Cooney was also a good guy and a friendly and approachable person despite of what they did for a living.

[@rogerandout1010]

floyd gayweather nothing more to argue !

[@MrSnapy1]

Good ole southern boy! Direct,Humble,Honorable and a nice guy. Perfect nickname the REAL DEAL always respected this man what you see is what you get nothing fake about this legend Much in the same way I respect Pacquioa both are just good people.At the end of the day titles and money mean nothing.A person is remembered by how they treated others....That's a mans true legacy.

[@squelchdown]

Holyfield.. what words of wisdom. You inspire me !!! =)

[@Lcowand1]

great interview. Evander is speaking the absolute truth.

[@BoxingPride]

It's great to see a great fighter like Holyfield talking REAL TALK on this subject...

[@masterdelrap]

evander holyfield is the best of all time

[@manievonhvang3019]

LOL turn on the captions on this vid. they cant catch what hes saying and it doesnt make any sense lol.

[@MJsERnie]

mayweather has a legacy to lose. but to be the best you gotta fight the best.

[@MJsERnie]

not the biggest joke we understand hes not the most fan friendly fighter but no matter how you put it he has won his fights.

[@ItzzSaVvy]

Ask yourself this how can fighting someone who lost 2 of his last 3 fights be considered fighting the best?

[@MJsERnie]

he didnt fight him at his prime before the 2 losses. i do not know the reason why but 1 loss to a great fighter doesnt make him a bad fighter. the people still want to see this fight because it will generally be a good fight.

[@b3at2]

almighty savvyone Pacman is the best of A level fighters. where floyd is an A++ fighter.... floyd stands alone but pacman is the next best thing...so he should fight him one day. floyd wins anyway but people still want to see it.

[@Shangrila777]

JRLM A+++ boring not worth my money to watch. the Ducking Chicken Gay Weather. I will rather watch Manny and Morales give my moneys worth whoever wins.

[@makeitfunkyfolks]

@ThankGodImBlack370 - Thanks, I'm glad someone said it. Though I don't agree with Mike Tyson biting his ear, Holyfield was PURPOSEFULLY headbutting him the whole fight.

[@hauerjet]

this is the best thing i hear on all the comments out there about pacman and mayweather. sooo true.....

[@b3at2]

Of course floyd has everything to lose.. he is an undefeated fighter.....but manny thought 40 million was a bad deal.. now floyd is making mega deals with showtime and pacman is one fight away from retirement.

[@b3at2]

Supernova12034 they all pick who they want to fight...

[@shawnrey6327]

Floyd knows he's not sure on winning against Manny thats why he doesnt like to fight him..that's the truth and lets admit it. Floyd is not just afraid of losing but afraid of getting hurt, he said before its about being smart fighter and to avoid being hurt or hit in a fight. He knows what kind of fighter he avoids.

[@josacra]

Holyfield reads people's heart. He is not rooting for anybody, he's just telling that people will like Manny win or loose. Manny has nothing to loose while Mayweather's legacy is on the line. I like his comment.

[@mikem591]

I always like listening to Holyfield. He is so upbeat. His attitude is his greatest asset. Always so inspiring. My favorite fighter. :)

[@12triggaman12]

Evander Holyfield vs Riddick Bowe 1 (Round 10). If you haven't seen it, youtube it! Evander's heart and spirit are inspiring.

[@ETHANGELIST]

Well Pacquiao still has plenty to lose. He has a whole nation behind him. 90 million people (not including the foreign filipinos) would be in tears and would be super pissed off if Pacquiao lost to the villain of boxing.

[@growinscrogstyle]

especially with some of the shots he took in round 10 of the first fight with bowe! those alone were enough to do damage, but he really does have a thick southern drawl though

[@chronic124]

what he said was true people like Holyfield win or lose because he's got mad heart, fights his guts out and is a humble guy.

[@Mr-zt2dc]

watching mayweather fight is the best thing ever compare to mother`s lullaby, sleeping pill and counting sheep

[@lunupe83]

Who the hell posted this with no ending?

[@sneal261]

Does anyone else find it funny how Evander Holyfield's voice completely changes when he says Mayweather near the end?

[@GregoryCarneiro]

I think it's common in high level fighters, speacialy the heavies ones, like him....

[@illyrian4life]

if this fight happens, it doesn't matter who wins or loses. they are both great fighters.

[@Ma007rk]

I have to say this about Evander Holyfield. For all of the punches that he has taken in his career he comes across as someone who is able to articulate himself very well and you can actually understand him when he talks. Some of these boxers you can not understand after a couple of dozen fights.

[@withey11]

Suprised how well spoken Holyfield is considering the amount of damage he took through his carrer.

[@rickmarks5179]

Evander Holyfield and Manny Pacquiao are both really the nice guys of boxing. Buster Douglas, Razor Ruddock are also good hearted guys. My father and i met Razor Ruddock in 1996 when i was 21 yrs old and he signed a pair my of gloves and took a pic with me and my old man. Razor Ruddock was huge and intimadating looking, but Ruddock was a true gentleman and he was just the nicest and sweetest guy ever.

[@xyxean]

@MrConnolly25 which fight are you talking about "judge scored a round wrong costing Marquez the fight" because I think you got it the other way around.. lol..

[@BlueRice]

he made a point. although manny now have a big reputation as well.

[@kambodiaboz]

Holyfield knows what he's talking about

[@xtianthadon]

WOW what a nice and humble guy!

[@fordtruck7896]

Holyfield is an amazing man and a truly good person, it shows in his son Jr too.

[@patricioganio953]

Evander Hollyfield made sense in this interview. He knows what he is talking about, being a former heavyweight champion. So, to all concerned, make this fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather pull through for the good of boxing and for the satisfaction of the fans. Everyone is waiting for this to happen. The world is one in wanting to see this fight.

[@ghosalmartin]

so why did people still love Ali? after he bragged, lost and came back. I think that's what people respect more, the fact he came back. Unlike with Naseem who fought lost one, came back for one fight and stopped, a lot of people believed that he could make his come back, and if he did it would of cemented him in boxing hall of fame if he wasn't already for his style.

[@balduvio]

spoken like a real champ.

[@MrHoyakoito]

Evander speak honestly. He knows what he is talking about. Way to go Evander.

[@patricioganio953]

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao will be equally remembered. because they are of the same generation fighters and bothe are exciting to watch. The difference, however, is that Pacquiao generated more excitement in his fights, because he fought bigger fighters, while Mayweather did not. Floyd Mayweather, despite his perfect record of no defeat, will be remembered as the fighter who was afraid to fight Pacquiao. This, for the record, is a credit to Pacquiao's legacy in boxing.

[@HardworkDedication]

YEAH IVE SEEN FLOYD GET ROCKED BEFORE...ITS NOTHING TO HIM. COTTO GAVE HIM A BETTER FIGHT. HES NEVER BEEN HURT OR DOWN. PLUS HE STILL DOMINATED THE FIGHT. HE WILL MAKE PAC LOOK ORDINARY LIKE EVERY OTHER OPPONENT. TIME IS THE "ONLY" THING THAT WILL BEAT FLOYD. PAC STILL NEEDS TO PROVE HE DESERVES TO FIGHT FLOYD LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. HE KNOWS HE HAS TO BEAT RIOS OR ITS A WRAP ON HIS CAREER. HE'LL BE LEAVING EMPTY HANDED, NO BELTS, FLOYD WILL STILL GO ON AS MAYBE THE BEST EVER.

[@structures23]

What Holyfield is trying to say is that Mayweather isn't a nice guy... LOL!

[@IsaacGVideos0033]

the dirtiest HW of all time rush in headbuts master

[@crankyboiy]

i like this interview = )

[@janponga]

A real boxing genius indeed! RESPECT! True Legend!

[@andytahapary]

Holyfield is holy! A good guy recognizes its kind!

[@kneegrowNec]

0:08 when this man looks at you like this.. you fucking run.

[@SenorAaron]

He makes a good point. If mayweather loses, his career is basically over, so hes really making a good decision not fighting manny

[@makeitfunkyfolks]

@jwang604 Said Tygart: "We don't do anything that can potentially impact an athlete's performance. … It's a matter of learning about the process. There's just a lack of the knowledge about these issues."

[@aceyen3471]

your kinda of scaring me on my dreams to become a boxer haha!Is it just because heavyweights hit harder?

[@ikamfuey]

This guy seems chill as hell xD

[@PowerPlayersTV]

Was waiting for Holyfield to praise God

[@kkrr00nnicc420]

The Real Deal says it like it is.

[@hendep]

Right on the money. Floyd dont want to fight Manny because he has everything to lose.

[@buttpaincayude1248]

Righto! Even if pacquio loses. It won't hurt him. He's been good and patient.

[@fingers215]

Evander is one of my favorite boxers. an I think he's one of the best to put on gloves he fought everybody an anybody that stepped up. An won fights he shouldn't have had a shot at.. "heart of a loin" "chin of iron"

[@StreetArtillery]

True. Manny vs Floyd would be a good fight for the sport of boxing, but it isn´t a must have. The sport will continue regardless. Like Floyd said to Merchant; Out with the old, In with the new. If this fight never happens, it will be remembered in a way like when the Mogolic Empire never fought The Chinese Dynasties. It would have been a clash. Or when USA never fought the Soviet Union, another clash. But only remembered. Empires fall, new ones rise. Just like boxers

[@aceyen3471]

Thanks!

[@wilsonsmilk]

good point brother!

[@gamecollect101]

Evander is the man for saying that, a true champion.

[@MrBrightSide77]

Boxing will never be the same after Manny retires cuz there aren't any other to carry on this gr8 sport.I am still watching boxing cuz of pacman.Populatiry of boxing has declined rapidly...there aren't any exciting fighters in the heavy weight, gone r the days of Rocky Marciano,Ali,Fraizer,Tyson n Sugar Ray...New sport called UFC have emerged as a rival to boxing and will take over boxing someday...sad but true.

[@michael11185]

This is why i feel this fight is not going to happen.

[@OAKLANDCHICANOS14]

Respect this Legend he is speaking some real shit

[@b3at2]

Its crazy how you need somebody to act a certain way to for you to like him... you cant like the man for simply being an amazing fighter...you need them to ACT HOW YOU WANT THEM TO ACT......who raised you.

[@J-Hue]

He may never have been a great talker, but he was def better at one point than he is now.

[@MrJuls09]

which ear did tyson bit chewed digest and shat out? is it left or right?

[@PNOYPWR]

I'll continue what Holyfield is about to say in the end of this article. "The point of the matter is that He's (Mayweather) trying to figure out how do I En....... entertain the boxing community in my style of fighting"?

[@tonyfressola]

Holyfield is right. If Manny and Mayweather don't fight it won't be the end of boxing.

[@Harryyoso]

all those headbutts did some damage..

[@HellsHighwayTrooper]

lol evander should just put up the gloves i notice some slurring going on

[@jayjoetube14]

Alliance of boxers. Pacquiao, Holyfield, Morales. There still more members I won't mention coz it I'm not sure.

[@IMNODOCTOR]

When a boxer brags that he never and cannot lose...he's putting so much pressure on himself. It only shows his fear - something he cannot handle well when that thing happens. Pacquiao does not claim he can't lose...all he said is that I already reached what I want to reach and just want to fight one or two more before retiring. Mayweather doesn't really want to be Pacquiao's last in the list...so he avoids the best because like he said: "I can still make money(even if it's not a big purse)."

[@SKILLvsPILLS]

Evander know Floyd is the best! He too was on a U.S Olympic Boxing Team! He see's Pacquiao's defense and he knows people will hate Mayweather win or lose...

[@jimmyamanita]

Interesting opinions and fascinating perspective from great commentators on this video. But, Floyd Mayweather IS the pound for pound king.

[@tpriest1914]

It has to happen Holyfield. And no there are no other boxers like these two.

[@martymendoza]

@BestMusic2012 He agreed to let them draw blood right after the fight even within after the hour after the fight ends

[@caloy2x]

But its even harder to see Floyd ever man up to fight this guy!

[@nystagmus]

great clip. i agree with evander.

[@vidz022]

We can keep on watching same 'ol videos here in YT... Pacman when asked, YES he will fight Mayweather but let his promoter do their job, and he'll do his. On the other hand, watch Floyd interviews, and he couldnt even say YES straight and direct. Its not just that he doesnt want to be careless with his answer, he is also scared of Pacman.. he respects Pac power and that is very clear why he demands a lot..

[@a5dr3]

Whoa dude. But keep in mind this guy could take Batman.

[@kadjatu5000]

i like the way he talks.

[@BRUZR66]

Holyfield is one of the Greatest heavyweights of all time. He may not speak as clearly anymore but that same inteligence he had in the ring is still there..

[@Oliiiverr]

Many has just as much to lose, he's been named fighter of the decade, 8 division champion and is dubbed as the only fighter capable of dealing with Floyd running away. Floyd has a lot to gain by taking the fight, since a large bulk of people doubt him and call him a scared pussy always dodging manny fights and undeserving of his title. If he takes and wins this fight, he'll forever lose the coward label that's become attached to his name and everyone will say he deserves his title.

[@fmkilledme5765]

He wants to be the fighter of the year and the man whom he is ducking from is the fighter of the decade. hahahaha. His career is just lying on having the 42-0 record, his career was never been in the "Best" categorization, but all about money. Manny vs Mayweather fight is the only way to save his self from all.

[@LeviJohansen]

@yfytgfjhgkjhg not he won the WBF title, barely known title and not recognised as a world title. the recognized once are: wbc, wba, ibf

[@MR.BRODYMAN]

@outlaw6066 where are you from?

[@DreiRN]

@connymat Yeah. The lesson is that always be humble like Pacquiao. Let the people say that you're the best. Unlike Floyd who is very outspoken about his being undefeated, and the funny thing is that there are a lot of boxers who retire undefeated.

[@raybitoy]

@skywalka17 ok you got a point but i'm not kidding about Manny being one of Floyd's favorite boxers. Look it up.
