In This Corner with Floyd Mayweather

Smitty laces 'em up 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

[@sheepshitonastick]

really likable guy here

[@chanman201]

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

[@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 😂😂

[@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...

[@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

[@anonymous108]

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

[@kayblock8009]

This man loves boxing! You can see the joy!

[@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.

[@nobodyheree1]

Smitty is P4P all day everyday!

[@bangladeshibrilliance2446]

Crazy at how easy he makes it look!

[@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.

[@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...

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@sonoflurch]

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

[@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...

[@Artistimberlake]

i love smittys vids!!!

[@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

[@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 !

[@2009Thief]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@FearlessEvangelou]

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

[@singhy2k3]

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

[@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 !

[@daveinthetube]

thank you the only one!

[@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

[@kingstyle89]

Floyd Mayweather you are awesome!

[@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.

[@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

[@Uberboy07]

awesome shit.

[@hahhwuanybyisrael5590]

floyd is da GOAT!!!!

[@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.

[@brixtonmystery]

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

[@BoxingRaj]

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

[@GMPro24]

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

[@marcusceltic]

LOL, great vid.

[@IainLiddle]

Roughly when was this filmed?

[@pro818]

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

[@gemamalicious]

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

[@krazykizza]

wow amazing

[@vektacular]

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

[@MYTMIC]

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

[@yesu3atlas]

greatest skills i'v ever seen

[@pistolpete0500]

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

[@pnutbutrncrackers]

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

[@rajendranadarajan8931]

Easy work. EASY WORK!!

[@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 =)

[@taediabla]

Ditto, the truth has spoken./respect

[@davidrivers3492]

where did u hear this. i hope your right

[@hatebush1234]

i actually learned something from looking at this :D

[@chuko37]

deverian subir estos videos en español

[@therandomdude9448]

Back when Mayweather had hair and no goatee

[@HollowHill17]

Prince naseem Poster in the background YES :)

[@bgizze01]

that is true

[@JcLeopard]

Mayweathers done it and he has never been knocked out.

[@emrumpelstiltskin]

haha. that was funny. two thumbs up. =)

[@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.

[@1234anima]

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

[@morrills]

just thinking the same here

[@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

[@CraigKramer]

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

[@loudan]

thats right!! =)

[@Blackjesus3]

@kevizzle2020 yupps

[@richysowerby]

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

[@worldtrancecentre]

legend

[@beatmajinsephiroth]

what year was this around?

[@lawldep]

prob around 04-05

[@aksaboutm3]

@Maryjaneslave i like both

[@Rock4ever4ever]

Mayweather rules!

[@sugarraygras]

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

[@alekhine25]

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

[@jlfieldad]

nice one floyd..

[@amadeus5403]

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

[@lennard]

money!

[@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.

[@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

[@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! :)

[@PhillyPugilist]

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

[@Camion1232]

floyd mayweather jr great guy!

[@vanzetti7]

LOL:-) That's Great!

[@A7X101]

what gloves is mayweather wearing?

[@sofritopapi]

Scareweather!

[@Ayokellzz]

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

[@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?

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@zenkeith]

i will remember that (mark that said pacdbest)

[@vazer111]

well he aint going to beat like yes 1 day i wll lose because that will bring his confidence down
