Floyd Mayweather Jr training 72 hrs before De La Hoya fight

[@tomxixtus]

Utter professional. Nothing short of perfect condition every time he has ever fought. No one could ever deny his dedication or attention to his craft.

[@comboman]

With all respect to the many great athletes out there. Floyd in my view is the most perfect athlete I have ever seen.

[@pbf316]

then you really haven't seen him fight then have you. he's not only a defensive wizard, his accuracy on offense was the best in boxing, period. watch him against corley, n'dou, jukko, and who can forget his fight with gatti, that's offense at it's very best.

[@FightFancom]

"The Big Payback" Floyd had some great Tunes playing. Aside from 50 and Akon, he had classics like James Brown and Stevie Wonder.

[@allankles]

Yeah. I heard that PBF-Marquez was the best selling fight outside of a non heavy weight fight not involving DLH. PBF sells big because people know they are getting a really good fighter fighting good opponents.

[@douker]

exactly. Floyd would definitely be favored to win, I would expect. However I don't think Floyd would "DESTROY" Manny as people say he would. Let's be honest, Floyd doesn't really "destroy" people. But what IS true is that Floyd has not fought anyone of Manny's caliber in speed, power, or stamina. Judah is probably the closest, but Judah tends to melt down halfway through his fights.

[@shuriken86]

im not a floyd fan but he's got beautiful shadowboxing and movement, you can see his style in his shadowboxing

[@Ho11is2Ho11ywood]

Floyd IS boxing.He is the epitome of the craft. Everyone else out there is a fighter,which isn't bad,but if your really into the fundamentals and your a boxing enthusiast you have to appreciate floyd as the best in a long while.

[@spriterkeroro]

Mosley's fast and strong no doubt.. If supposing he puts that strength into good use against floyd then his chances might be bigger than I thought.. If mosley keeps the pressure on floyd I believe he'll win, IF HE CAN give a barrage of kickass on floyd all night, that I highly doubt.. Of all of floyd's fights I noticed he does'nt do well being pressured for too long.. consistency of pressure is 1 boxer characteristic that I can only see in pacquiao..

[@bogdan_05]

Agree

[@BurnInTheLight]

i like floyd hes small but is pro as hell

[@Maniak5100]

They're both Amazing! Personally, if I had the opportunity to get a training session from one of the other, I think I'd chose Mayweather over Pac. Floyd's plathora of skills is probably just a bit bigger then Pac's. Pac is probably the most fit and most fierce fighter I've seen. I have an opinion on who would win but who cares. Lets just hope that we'll see it happen! It would easily be the fight of the decade.

[@dan_4531]

Mayweather won :)

[@FightFancom]

It's "The Big Payback" by James Brown

[@hamzah429]

u will see when he fights marquez and pacquao

[@diszis]

Hatton said the same. He got Ko'd with Folyd going back!! That wasn't sissy slaps to me. When was the last time you saw that?

[@jjkidifyouknew]

(This is for jmspbbb) I'm a Mayweather Fan but I agree with what you are saying. True shit

[@FightFancom]

The scoring was/is simple. Clean effective punching. One guy made the other miss, constantly, and threw and landed a significantly higher amount of clean and effective shots. Not only was it obvious to watch Floyd out box Oscar, all the statistics supported it as well. Anyone who scored that fight for Oscar did so with a blind bias, or ignorance towards how rounds are scored.

[@theguy1224]

Its to simulate fighting on the inside where punches are gonna be short and crisp coming to him. His goal there is not really to hit back, hes hitting the pads to show that he knows where the punches are coming from, almost picking them off. It helps with speed, accuracy and reflex. Thats why floyd is such a great defensive fighter.

[@thebonecracker]

well not all of the mitts focus routine are set to improve strengh..in mayweathers case its all about hand speed, timing head movement, etc

[@pbf316]

what counterpuncher? have you ever actually seen any of his fights?

[@kinggoalscorer]

James Brown? Don't be ridiculous man! Where did you get that notion from? The song is called "Volare" (which is Italian for "Fly") and is performed here by Dean Martin. : D

[@Elvathar]

No matter what you say, A guy can't be a bum if he have won the world title in different classes and never been beaten. This guy is a good boxer that's it.

[@YesterdaysHeadlines]

@hopelesscasewtf i agree here are some of floyds best combos - one straight right another one is - a single jab Another one of my favorites is -uno, inst, individual, single, lone, singular, one and only, solitary, sole, satu left hook :)

[@davidrivers3492]

yeh your probs right, but my game invloves lots of uppercuts and hooks on the inside as opposed 2 picking off with jabs which would require height and a reach

[@ZuluWarriorFromKenya]

It's a routine and it takes time but you'll feel that you've done something at the end of it though because when you spar with someone you will remember those punches you practised and you'll be able to use those combos and punches when you get on the bags you will understand where to punch and stuff like that.

[@AUpshaw85]

Did roger or Floyd sr developed that focus mitt drill or did someone else?

[@douker]

good point, I hadn't even though about how he'd have to adapt the philly/shoulder roll defense. It'll be harder for him to chill on the ropes with a high guard, and open up his body. interesting.

[@texan1120]

@rollingdub22 he has still accomplished more in boxing and life than you ever will....

[@lMsouthpaw]

Such great flow. Nobody can hit the mitts like money may

[@mansorygshaw236]

He makes every move beautyful.

[@davidrivers3492]

What song is that in the background? I'd really apprecite it if someone could tell me

[@davidrivers3492]

what is the best way for a boxer to put weight on? mayweather moved from super feather 2 light middle weight impressivley as his cheast and back appeared to widen. what are the exercises and diet for this?

[@JAMESRICKYCOWARD]

Best Fighter and Trainer on the PLANET!!!

[@kaperisk]

yeah he also has 25 KOs on his record. shows you dont have to stand toe to toe right there. mostly when he does not KO his opponent its because hes going up in weightclass. at his natural weight hes a beast.

[@mikemauriello943]

this is why he is the best, works out 365 days

[@davidrivers3492]

i have been boxing for 3 years now at light-welterweight and have a very stocky "5" "6" frame, very similar to ricky hattons. i am 16 so would you say i have hit my peak in terms of my frame and height? cheers

[@tjwess]

mosley is a legend man watch him train hes quick as hell

[@klachi7]

What is the name of the song at the right begining of the vid?

[@MrZainb]

whats that song in the background mayweather always listens to?

[@heatblazer]

Cool, Floyd, keep up the good job !

[@anjet148]

when is floyd mayweather's next fight

[@rockytotherescue]

@maravaluz. Whose Manny fought? Exactly. Mayweather fought all of them at their peak. He called out Mosley years ago but Mosley never stepped up to the plate.

[@davidrivers3492]

i fight at light-welterweight and i am 16. i am 5 6 and i ahve a stocky build like ricky hattons.......would you say i have hit my peak in terms of height and frame?

[@sonoflurch]

what is the name of the song when hes shadow boxing?

[@jonrad5]

@rollingdub22 would you fight De La Hoya? anyone who steps in the ring is not a coward anyone who argues that has never done it or are trying to make money

[@youz1uglybish]

another thing to consider is that floyd is a different fighter when hes in there against a tru southpaw..although he still has great D he's not as fluid and smooth with his counter punching when hes not using the philly shell..he wont be using the shoulder roll..in alot of ways fighting manny pacquio would mirror what floyd did with judah defensively..he'll more than likley be using a high guard an although floyd uses it well he's much better against an orthodox fighter in his philly shell D

[@XSVterror18]

@domdomcash Couldn't have said it any better myself. Great way to put it! People need to realize this!

[@TechLinkOnline]

You really can't call any boxer a coward, especially any boxer that has fought multiple championship fights. It takes 2 to tango - I haven't seen Manny step up with an offer Floyd can't refuse so it goes both ways.

[@Sms68]

Forget the charachter, This kid is the most purely skilled boxer since Ali and Leonard, and I would say even more so. I am not biased and I am white. I have seen Floyd fight live 3 times and I have seen Pac twice. Pac is a great fighter, BUT that is the key word "fighter" not BOXER. Floyd has every skill that this sport requires. His mind is still sharp bc the dude hardly gets hit, if he stays focused every minute of every rd, he will outsmart his opponent. Margarito would not of touched Floyd

[@comfibold]

Floyd is a tremendous boxer with exceptional skills.

[@racingmylife15]

kinda amazing how everyone's repeating what they've been told to say...every tough guy here is saying floyd's a coward...he's fought every top fighter in the world except manny,,,and he just fought in may...

[@samsunit144]

whats the name of the first song???

[@youz1uglybish]

i can def see how pacquiao can give mayweather some problems..pacquiao is just so active he never seems to run out of gas he's the same fighter in 12th round as he is in the 1st round..he's faster than floyd and as ive said b4 he def appears to have more pop in his shots..mayweather imo is the best in the sport at making mid fight adjustments..he's very adaptable and he's shown and proved that he can beat a guy in 100 different ways..im going with mayweather based on size skill and versatility!

[@ciokoye]

wht is this james brown song called??

[@ladyluck43223]

Thats a great statement NextWorldApparel.

[@nbagoats4819]

@rollingdub22 What other boxers called Floyd scared?

[@gonchito1]

are we all forgetting that welterweight was never mayweathers original wieght..sugar ray fought everyone at that weight because he had to to get a name., and once he made it he fought thomas hearns to unify it if mayweather wanted to do the same he would have had to fight cotto and margarito after bald. mayweather had already cleared out at least two weight classes to even get to welterwieght then he fought, gatti, judah delahoya hatton. when leonard moved up did he fight every middlewieght?

[@slimithy12]

forget the noise it makes, it's the speed that counts. speed generate's power. it also helps him avoid punches and then counter. floyd never his bags or mits very hard cos he's hand brake easily.

[@jo292002]

What is the first song?????

[@SuckMehDook]

@Young3Buck i meant manny has struggles w/ counter punchers, and mayweather with pressure fighters. my bad

[@614grind]

@resistnsmoke I agree with the second part of your comment for sure. One shot don't drop champions, especially ones in superb condition. Zab timed him, no doubt..but you gotta admit it did zero damage. Pac Man's ambush/retreat style is an all or none approach that IMO wont work on Floyd but if anyone can pull it off, its definitely Manny.

[@nyncc7367]

is the best

[@im_cold_blooded]

yeah, he does get hit alot. but alot less than ricky. He also has better punch selection and throws more. so that helps alot too. He's alot better than the hitman thats for sure.

[@masterphene23]

The fact is, your criticizing is methods,"That's not exactly a good thing. I mean, anyone who's ACTUALLY hitting the pads will look at the pad holder because that is proper technique." As stated in your own words, personally i thought that was a weak statement.

[@australiafinest]

was he ducking the best when he fought de la hoya, hatton, marquez, mosley, gatti, judah?

[@jones0787]

yup. the majority of the people pac man fought, mayweather fought before him. check the records.... i just dont understand why people say mayweather runs and pac is better when they fight the same people......

[@im_cold_blooded]

Not saying he had the winning formular at all bro, just saying, it worked the first time. Manny is much cleaner than castillo, all do respect to castillo. I pointed out floyds previous weight to make a point of how they really arnt too far apart as far as sizes. FLoyd just decided to move up firs,t ya know? I like Pacmans resume better than floyd, and think he'd give today's PBF a run for his money. Floyds seems to rely more on his counters and defense nowdays. Would be a good fight, imo.

[@1topgorgon]

the best welterweights in the world goes Floyd Mayweather jr, Sugar Shane Mosley,a tie betwn paul williams and manny pacquiao, tim bradley, devon alexander.

[@SuckMehDook]

@xmainevent dude my bad i meant Pac struggles against counter punchrs and Mayweather struggles with pressure

[@spriterkeroro]

@1pimpliciousss manny's got more speed now too.. cotto and clottey had difficulty with his speed.. which is why floyd WILL have LOTS of trouble if they ever face in the ring..

[@moonmadness9465]

@trinimon11 What fighter doesnt?

[@wwejeffhardyjohncena]

he looks kinda like apollo creed without the long hair :D

[@SuckMehDook]

@MiljasXx Not according to the scorecards. (:

[@FightFancom]

I'd hesitate to say "whooped", but I am flabergasted by the outpouring of people who seemed to think that fight was close. It was a one sided fight, with Floyd clearly out-slicking and out-boxing Oscar. Oscar fought in brief ineffective flurries and landed next to nothing clean. Floyd made him miss and landed the cleaner more effective shots.

[@onlyjoetee]

FLOYD IS THE ONLY FIGHTER

[@donnawilliams1825]

As an unbiased old 🏫 brother from killer CaLa, growing up with the wide world of sports, oneself can feel the chi energy flowing through the branches of 🥊's tree 🌲 of knowledge. OOO. G has been viewed by yours truly for as long as You Tubes been dropping gems for my 3rd. eYe. # Family Ties are a mOfO Blesssings Bloodlines!

[@Light3471]

Thank you for speaking the truth, these people dont appreciate what mayweather brings to this sport and hate him soooo much that they look for any fighter that has recent success (pacquiao) and say that he will lose to them. Mayweather is 1 of the greatest and when mayweather beats pacquiao, pacquiao can go back to his country and sell oranges.

[@Southpaw447]

Hatton pushes a furious pace. Nobod Myweather has fought has got in his face and made him fight. They playd right into his game. Mayweather has an obvious speed advantage but if Hatton can push the pace he can hurt mayweather bad.

[@shaochiavang]

Fact 6: The Mayweather and Marquez fight did not sell much tickets

[@spankybighead]

Pacman really wasn't on the radar. No one expected him to jump two weight classes to fight Oscar. I think Manny is good...he's gotten better since the first Barrera fight where he surprised a lot of cats. I just think Floyd is to smart and slick of a boxer to loose to Manny.

[@bryansediego]

miguel cotto's performance is better in beating some of floyd's past rivals. (sosa, corley, judah...) mayweather should defeat cotto, the undefeated current WBA welter champ to seal the deal as the best boxer in the world before he retires.

[@lennard]

what does it mean when he slaps him on the shoulder?

[@youz1uglybish]

well floyd and manny are 2 different fighters..i think floyd had hatton figured out long before 10 rounds..floyd is a technician in the ring he picks opponents apart with pin point accuracy..lol manny is a much more destructive fighter by nature he looks to finish fights quickly..manny is willing to open up his offense and throw punches in bunches floyd is very hesitant to do that if he does it at all theres a reason mayweather is undefeated he takes zero risks in the ring he's very saftey 1st

[@FootballFanatic141]

how does he know what combos to do without roger tellin him??

[@1topgorgon]

@dohboiii are you a boxer? maybe your a trainer? if not, how are you able to question training and to judge what is stupid from what is not? i think you would be better suited judging and commenting on ballet..

[@cvanich]

It's called warming your body up. You can't just go into a boxing match stiff and cold after a week's rest. Why do you think they jump rope and shit right before they get into the ring?

[@TEastB]

Bro U hit this shit ona a nail!

[@thechosenpeople2022]

you haters know yall love floyd

[@luvpumpum]

Maywaether has no loses you can hate if you want but his game has no weakness

[@Ep0nz]

I dunno, at the time Oscar was the champion, and it seemed like Floyd just sat there and let Oscar come to him, which would of been fine if Floyd was the champion, but he wasn't. Also, Oscar was landing shots, they might of been flurries, but they were still shots that were getting to Floyd.

[@gonchito1]

mayweather is one of the greats of all time to me, but to be ranked in the top ten or 20 in most fans' and writer's eyes I think he should fight shane mosley before he has his rematch with ricky..that would clear up everything and he would get paid quite a handsome sum... and yes i said rematch with hatton because hatton is going to beat pacquiao

[@VillainsvsVillains]

@onlyjoetee Wait what? Really? He already agreed to take the test and mayweather didn't respond to the deadline. Look it up. Its old news.

[@brixtonmystery]

@jabxhook Judah? Baldomir? DLH, at 154 no less? Mosley? All three WWs were top dogs, Oscar 154 champion, no catchweight.

[@llcjord]

when i herd this guy was gonna fight hatton i thought hatton had a cahnce... but then i watched him train n i thought c ya later hatton bruv lol

[@Foresythe]

Enter the Place by Tuface, already available on youtube.com

[@bull6599]

I totally agree. I dont believe in the tranisitive propoerty in sports, especially in boxing where styles make fights. I think a lot of ppl do it b/c Floyd & JMM have similar styles. Their both technical boxers who rely on defense & counter-punching. If u go back & watch the JMM-Pac fights Pac ate plenty of counter-punches from JMM in both bouts so u can imagine what it would be like vs Floyd who has faster hands, is more accurate, and maybe stronger than JMM.

[@theflyingyamaders]

nownow guys i know floyd talks trash, but you gotta admit that his skills are good as fuck.

[@Young3Buck]

i dont see why u got 2 thumbs down when u are right lol

[@theflyingyamaders]

dude i would kill myself to have a boxing family like the mayweathers.

[@harven23]

@mastephens1 you gotta update your post! Pac just beat MOsley!

[@BlackOwnedDollars]

@hxabc Its to sharpen the reflexes.
