In This Corner with Floyd Mayweather

[@chrispy4224]

so glad to have found a media interaction with floyd where they actually show him the respect he deserves. And you can see how nice guy he is when you dont treat him like a peice of shit for no reason like most other interviews with him ive seen :(

[@stretfordender321]

I've watched this like 20 times over the years. One of the best interviews and boxing lessons ever recorded

[@daboss000]

Best video to learn counters n change of pace in rhythm n looks

[@chanman201]

Great interview. Learned a thing or two just now. Changing rythm and counters.

[@sheepshitonastick]

really likable guy here

[@anonymous108]

Floyd’ was pretty like-able when he wasn’t being disrespected, questioned or discounted.

[@Sun432]

this is "pretty boy" floyd here. not "money" mayweather. i prefer pretty boy floyd

[@generalzod8400]

When he fights he is pretty boy floyd. Let's not get it twisted that other persona is out of the ring when he is enjoying himself. Yet he is not as arrogant as Adrien Broner. Floyd has calmed down due to getting older.

[@abshir9677]

Sun432 Money mayweather is a persona he created to make more money. It started after he left Bob Arum, he knew he needed to sell himself. Based off what he made over his career, it's fair to say he succeeded.

[@zedmak]

They both existed at the at the same time, his hands didn’t allow him to allow pretty boy to have free reign, so $ took over, pretty boy is still very much there...

[@rajendranadarajan8931]

I just realized how old this video is when the interviewer called Floyd 'Pretty Boy' instead of "Money'

[@dontbeadrone]

I love this guy. Very smart…as were Sugar Ray Leonard and Muhammad Ali. I don't think it's a coincidence that some of the smartest fighters were the greatest champions.

[@josegenuino5706]

For sure. All the greatests in this sport had good and inteligent minds inside the ring

[@melvincole3165]

Everyone seems to forget about PB😂 Tank B4 Tank😂 had to remind him of the defense 😂😂

[@nananyantakyi1549]

Ofcourse, boxing is a thinking mans sport

[@thlg2jr]

Great to actually view a fighter like Floyd, who fights with brains. Boxing isn't about getting your head beat in, just to win a match; better yet a brawl! The real art of boxing is making the other fighter miss; beating him to the punch, and still getting the job done. Enjoy your retirement, Floyd!

[@miguelmartinez-go6mb]

Smartest boxer ever

[@kayblock8009]

This man loves boxing! You can see the joy!

[@Dantedijon]

Floyd is humble and has a big heart, floyd choose to be the bad guy of boxing like he said, he foes alot of giving back but dont want it public, but he recently made a dying kid dreams come true who has cancer, the kid gave up but floyd yold him to keep fighting and he'll be praying for him, floyd donate, help poor ppl etc. i livein vegas i hear stories about him

[@cardiomanify]

the anonymous Yea, there are forums and comments on KZbin saying people who met Floyd in real life, say he is a nice guy. He did a lot of nice things. He funded a child's surgery, took guys off the street and gave them a job. Bought houses, cars, etc... gave them a means to live life. He's like a real life Bruce Wayne - a hated rich playboy for public persona, but in secret, a nice guy with a good heart.

[@kickinButtAlot]

this is a great video you can see mayweather for who he really is in this video no one is challenging him so you can see him as him i am a huge ufc fan but i also love boxing i dont think they need to compete with eachother total dfferent

[@NextSurvivor]

"real boxing fans appreciate defense" true, and why im a huge fan of the best boxer in the sport undoubtedly. it's why he's favored to beat pacquiao at the sports books and it's why he's going to beat a pacquiao who's used to fighting guys who stand right in front of him and come forward. great video.

[@Vitriolic]

around 1:50 floyd's natural defense. He's talking to the guy and subconsciously blocks his shot at the same time. Funny but it shows how his natural reflexes have gotten to a point where he can have conversations and remain defensive.

[@GambleDub]

this guys technique is amazing but what surprised me the most, is how likable mayweather is in this video. especially as im a pac fan :) who cares who you like better though, there both tremendously skilled fighters and its one of those match ups where in 10 fights you could get 10 different results, hopefully we at least get too see it once though!

[@victorjohnson9085]

Dangerous when he was younger...

[@nobodyheree1]

Smitty is P4P all day everyday!

[@jaytone11]

Master Boxer ! Has an answer for every situation

[@Marktheproducer]

hey we all need each other... america wouldnt be nothin without all of its races. truly

[@thenobleone-3384]

Every fighter that I watch has his own unique style. I'm 6 foot 3 so I use my reach and height to my advantage

[@theonlysaltspring]

Not my favorite guy as far as boxers go BUT this is a GREAT boxer/THINKER ala Ali, I love the way Floyd keeps that chin tucked in behind his shoulder. Beautiful.Just beautiful!

[@Rentovsky]

always admired his skills, but never appreciated his personality until I saw this! he actually seems like a down to earth kinda guy-no cockyness, no shit talking, I'd say he's actually modest... but I still want to see Pacman kick his ass, because that will give us another true genius...

[@bangladeshibrilliance2446]

Crazy at how easy he makes it look!

[@axel151]

I really can't help but like Floyd when he's like this, he seems down to earth and kind, like him or not, he's definitely one of the best ever.

[@MrDono215]

this is what i love about mayweather. he's intelligent, relaxed and extremely focused all of the time ! cant wait for may 1st to c another boxing masterclass from the true p4p king !

[@kapirock1]

Best boxer in the world , floyd is the 21th century fighter , skilled , inteligent and higly composed - everyone is talking about his defence but it's his amazing composure and ability to stand relaxed under attack that makes him so great . can't wait to watch him and Sugar fight . Kapi Rock !

[@krl4444]

how nice is it to hear floyd talking normally and with respect! in this vid he seems like a down to earth guy instead of the brass money fulled floyd u c on tv

[@2009Thief]

Finally someone who knows boxing and doesn't speak from their like or dislike.

[@sonoflurch]

i like this guy, amazing to watch in his fights, and he seems like a nice guy too.

[@TheMoiphy]

This is the how the real Floyd is. Not in character not putting on a show or playing the villan. His persona is an act and he plays it really well.

[@vektacular]

Floyd is actually a better person than people think...there are just things they don’t know.

[@elBighead208]

hes so damn intelligent to the sport of boxing id like to train with this dude for a few months to help out with my striking in mma i bet i could learn alot from this dude

[@pwkid]

I believe that's the way he wants to take his career. I remember him saying that after these handful of fights he wants to settle down and train young fighters.

[@singhy2k3]

wish i could of had tht one to one with floyd. would of learnt alot

[@FearlessEvangelou]

Pure Talent...this man was born for the art of boxing.

[@ChaodixsupersonicYT]

well put mate ...Real boxing fans see the beauty in Sweet Pea Whitaker defensive moves , or PBF defensive skills ... It's called boxing ...Hit and not get it Hit

[@Artistimberlake]

i love smittys vids!!!

[@therandomdude9448]

Back when Mayweather had hair and no goatee

[@ButOneThingIsNeedful]

This is the most likable Mayweather has ever come off. Good for him.

[@JediKnight1007]

Definetly a great vid. If boxing were a large tree than he just gave us a piece of a leaf. He has a lot to offer and it's nice to see him in vids like this. Showing other aspects of his personality. I think you make a good point brownhornet71. But I also think some of Mayweather's antics turns people off because they take him way too seriously. He is the fighter of his generation and he likes to have fun. What on earth is so bad about that?

[@daboss000]

floyd mayweather is a east boxing cant live without him on the real floyd is boxing period haters!

[@brownpk82]

somehow this is kind of a free boxing lesson from floyd =)

[@kingstyle89]

Floyd Mayweather you are awesome!

[@pistolpete0500]

If it does, IF it does. Maybe next year. I doubt it well be this year.

[@CraigKramer]

See when Floyd acts cool like this, I cant help but be a fan.

[@JcLeopard]

Mayweathers done it and he has never been knocked out.

[@de1onj]

he fought zab judah, castillo, corrales and baldamore as well as the fighters uv mentioned. his done his thing...people need to jus stop hating on him n appreciate that he is the best of his time. i dont reli like him as a person...wouldnt like to fight him tho

[@Cellardoor187]

I get what your saying. But trust me. Floyd's model of fighting is probably one of the best blueprints of how boxing should be. He's got a master's degree.

[@brixtonmystery]

@operation61 No doubt about it. I actually think he started training some already.

[@MYTMIC]

If Floyd is taller than this guy, Smitty short as heck!

[@chuko37]

deverian subir estos videos en español

[@gemamalicious]

Wow I wish he's oweiz like this...I love it.in this video I'm a fan of mayweather

[@1234anima]

now his talking about a bloody cross style so he is indeed very unique in that style!

[@GMPro24]

love this guy, love pac....just both u fight already!!!!!!!!!!!

[@davidrivers3492]

where did u hear this. i hope your right

[@IainLiddle]

Roughly when was this filmed?

[@sugarraygras]

I wish Ricky Hatton had seen this before he thought him.He may have saved some energy!

[@MichaelMurrayMUFC]

@thespecter2 well said man. I am a huge Mayweather fan but I agree that there are a lot who dislike him but even those who dislike him should respect him for the great boxer that he is. Just like I respect Manny Pacquiao as a great fighter even though I don't particularly like him.

[@richysowerby]

floyd is showing yous all what the philly shell is there thats why hes so good he never gets hit

[@leemajors28]

I don't understand why folks decide to search for a Floyd Mayweather youtube video where he's technique and the first thing they do is call him names and bring up other fighters. Funny thing is, I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of PBF detractors took mental notes while viewing this clip and probably tried to practice some of his defensive moves.

[@HaloedG]

This video raises a good point about Mayweather's mental game. This is why he talks trash and steps in his opponents' face. He tries to learn the fighter's personality and their reactions to try and create his gameplan in the ring. Does Pac do this?

[@hahhwuanybyisrael5590]

floyd is da GOAT!!!!

[@alekhine25]

this probably is the "nice side" of floyd. when was this taken?

[@averagejoe511]

My God I never seen Mayweather so humble and nice. This must have been when he was called pretty boy and not money mayweather

[@BoxingRaj]

@kevizzle2020 real talk man.. that was very well put.. couldn't have said it better myself

[@KingRhaul]

totally hear you bro but i dont think the world would get better if we stopped calling things as we see it..hope those 2 put up a good fight...i wish jones could come back and put tarver on his back

[@PhillyPugilist]

Like him or not Floyd is what u call a master boxer

[@cobrakingkai]

Im not two crazy about floyds personality or character but his my fav fighter cause of his AWESOME fighting style his smart his technical and his not retarded when fighting he doesnt go out there and gets punched in the face and gets wasted. His the type of boxer that i strive to be a mentaly healthy boxer due to smart defensive style that doesnt take uncesserly amount of damage and great footwork

[@itskpmofo]

MSMninja, while that may be true, he's using a boxing technique known as the shoulder roll. James Toney uses the same thing. It's also called the Philly Shell.

[@yesu3atlas]

greatest skills i'v ever seen

[@amadeus5403]

Floyd, one.the few that lead with the right hand.

[@rajendranadarajan8931]

Easy work. EASY WORK!!

[@extradutyfelt1]

did floyd come up with those technqiues himself or did his floyd sr & roger teach him that..

[@Kilomanjaro11]

this year me and my son are going to be boxers for halloween, my son is going to be manny pacquiao and I'm going to be a big ass chicken! :)

[@richandgaz]

mayweather is much bigger which would be a factor. be close if were the same size i think cotto would be mayweathers toughest fight at welterweight i also personally think that del a hoya won the fight and was unlucky to get a split decision against him

[@hatebush1234]

i actually learned something from looking at this :D

[@Adjuah38]

The man is a genius in the ring no doubt and he has nothing to prove. In fact it's the guys like Cotto, Margarito and Williams that have things to prove. I mean look at their records PBF would be the best fighter any of them would ever have faced if they were to get in the ring with him. They are all champions but what have they really achieved and who have they really fought?

[@PhillyPugilist]

NOOOOOO!!!! Mayweather vs Marquez has been POSTPONED! Due 2 a rib injury suffered by Mayweather during training. 1st David Haye now Floyd. Now i gotta wait even longer.....

[@bandamardu]

he got stopped against that guy larry holmes larry never got the recognition he deserved

[@MansaBusa]

There are rumors that Floyd is secretly training for a big fight. I think he will finally fight Margo.

[@taediabla]

Ditto, the truth has spoken./respect

[@MansaBusa]

Actually, Floyd was offered $8 million, right after He bought himself out of his contract with Arum. At that time it was more money than Floyd had made for any fight. I used to think Floyd wasn't ducking him. But I think he is. Right now is the time to Floyd to fight him. Lots of money for that fight. Although I think he would have earned more had he fought Cotto(if Cotto didn't lose.)

[@ninjasd1]

I totally agree with you PhillyPugilist, Flyod not fighting Pacquiao right away has nothing to do with him dodging Manny. It s just a question of time, as long as Floyd is still healthy HE WILL FIGHT PACQUIAO. The Marquez bout is a tune up fight for Floyd. It will also up the money for the Pacquiao fight wich is like you say inevitable. People will always say Floyd s scared of this guy or that guy then when he takes on the actual guy and whoops his ass they say the guy was a nobody.

[@A7X101]

what gloves is mayweather wearing?

[@HollowHill17]

Prince naseem Poster in the background YES :)

[@eltubster14]

Mayweather is a good guy if he's spoken to correctly.

[@aofnyc]

FM said it takes 6 months to promote a fight..... During ra rugged man interview. There u go.....MP vs FM is on!

[@IGIELI]

PROKSA GRZEGORZ boxing likes Champion Floyd,Look at this guy man,Imean his very good fighter.

[@kelvinw18]

Man u are so right. Oscar and Hatton were punchin bags when Manny fought them. Manny needs to move that head or he will be in trouble. People are rolling with Manny cuz he is the curretn champ but when there is another 1 they will forget about him. These people are not boxing fans

[@vnguyen06]

Back then, Pac was a straight forward one hand puncher & Mayweather probably could school The Pacman. Now, Manny doesn't move in straight lines & has increased his speed & power & accuracy at a higher weight, as well as improved right-hand. Pacman is without doubt most improved fighter in any weight? But still, I repesct PBF's talents, u can see no other boxer boxes or thinks like he does. I guess that's why he has many fans, he represents the thing called 'Sweet Science'.

[@Ayokellzz]

*So Upsetting That He Retired.. Stay Up Floyd!

[@Whyavier]

It's unfortunate that he doesn't attract fans as a likable guy. Ali, for example, was arrogant, though likable. As for Tyson, I think there may be more to his psychology than simply getting attention.

[@ElCocineroSolitario]

I actually like Floyd in this video. Get sense thats the real him. Not arrogant or offensive.

[@ZachRabbit]

Do your homework. Manny agreed to fight Clottey, which officially killed the Mayweather fight.

[@timflan1234]

4:34 seriously floyd has the best defence ever!

[@daveinthetube]

thank you the only one!

[@svp2010]

This interview was done in 2004; most of you so-called boxing fans didnt even know what boxing even was and PAC was a no-body in 2004 (he had just boxed Marquez to a draw; which wasnt even on PPV). MAY was considered the PFP best fighter when this interview was done.

[@vnguyen06]

All due respect, I dont think Baldamir, Gotti and Judah is in the same class as JMM, Pacman or Sugar Shane. I think Floyd would have schooled Pacman over a year ago...But regardless of fighting a weight-drained ODH (who everybody thought was gonna still whoop Pacman) & a defenceless Hatton, Pacman will be a completely new challenge, much tougher than anybody he's ever fought.
