I have always thought it's his strongest point that put him where he is. From his earlier fights he's been listening to him attentively and do exactly what he said.

[@charlesy3835]

Cant believe how good Floyd's cardio is, i think one of the most underrated aspects to him. To throw that kind of speed into EVERY punch takes tremendous energy. To be able to sustain those fast twitch muscle over 10 rds without slowing down even a fraction, unbelivable.

I know he worked really hard for good cardio but he has to have some crazy genetics too, sustaining that speed for that long

[@myronsmith2114]

Many trainers have said Floyd’s gift is his conditioning

[@jimmyv1753]

It’s his best weapon. He used it to destroy Conor. He came out barely through any punches until 4th round by the 10th Conor couldn’t continue. Floyd uses that cardio better than anyone else out there! It’s a combination of his defensive ability and cardio. He can stay safe and wear you out with out ever slowing down.

[@marcdikhoff4309]

😂Obvious you are from Floyd era, there are more than enough boxers that would beat him. Every fighter is beatable. Corrales in the first fight proved that. Fighters like duran, hearns. Pernall Whitaker, even a prime Oscar I think would have beaten him. He was a old time great but not unbeatable or the best ever. In the last years he ruled boxing never went outside Vegas never took big risks. The canelo fight was impressive. On his boxing style was winning more than entertaining never took any risks. Mostly one... One two but not combinations. With that defence and stamina, very very smart. Most entertaining was outside the ring and I personally do not like his attitude

[@NeverSober8008]

People forget that Corrales was favored in this fight! Floyd was the “ underdog “

[@decidingpaper6324]

Floyd was so dominant against Corrales that this was the last time Mayweather would be an underdog in his career.

[@MrMarco855]

Floyd cherry-picked his opponents after this fight. He was a favorite because he chose 'b' and 'c' level opponents.

[@decidingpaper6324]

@@MrMarco855 Let me give you a graph of every Floyd fight AFTER Corrales: Carlos Hernandez, 33-2-1 future IBF Super Featherweight champion, had wins over Gregorio Vargas and Narciso Valenzuela Romo (who knocked down De La Hoya in their fight), went on to beat Justin Juuko, a 23-1 Steve Forbes and former world title challenger Juan Carlos Ramirez. Jesus Chavez, 35-1 future two division champion with wins Emanuel Augustus, Javier Jauregui, an 18-2-1 Louie Lejia, Troy Dorsey, and 33-1 Juan Jose Arias. Went on to beat Sirimongkol Singwancha, Carlos Gerena, Carlos Hernandez, and Leavander Johnson. Jose Luis Castillo TWICE (first fight was a robbery) Victoriano Sosa, 35-2-2, former world title challenger who had wins over Francisco Lorenzo and perennial contender Harold Warren. Philip N’Dou (no relation to Lovemore Ndou), 31-1 with wins over 21-1-2 Jesus Zatarin and 26-0 Cassius Baloyi. Demarcus Corley, 28-2-1 former WBO lightweight champion who had wins over hard punching Randall Bailey, Inaugural WBO Latino welterweight champion Felix Flores, and Ener Julio. Would go on to become an underrated journeyman, and also went on to beat Darryl Tyson, an 18-0 Gabriel Bracero, a 23-1 Paul McCloskey, and a faded Vivian Harris. Henry Bruseles, 21-2-1, basically just a crappy version of Miguel Cotto. Only notable wins were an old Ben Tackie and an old Cesar Bazan. Then came Arturo Gatti, who he schooled with ease, back when the two weight champ was still at the top of his game. Gatti had beaten Wilson Rodriguez, Jesse James Leija, Gabriel Ruelas, Tracy Harris Patterson, Calvin Grove, Micky Ward twice, 55-3 former champ Joey Gamache (although the weight advantage was INSANE) former champion Leonard Dorin/Doroftei, and 32-0-1 Gianluca Branco. After Floyd he beat 37-0 Thomas Damgaard as well. After that, former world champion Sharmba Mitchell, who had beaten an old Bazooka Limon, 32-2 kickboxer turned boxing champ Khalid Rahilou, Rocky Lockridge, Terron Millett (who once dropped Zab Judah), Felix Flores, Vince Phillips, 38-2-2 fringe contender Carlos Vilches, Ben Tackie, Lovemore Ndou, 35-1-2 Michael Stewart, 30-2 Reggie Green, and he went on to beat 33-1-2 Jose Luis Cruz. Speaking of Zab Judah, that fight’s up next, he was a former Undisputed Champion at Welterweight, in addition to being a multi-weight champion. After that, one of the slowest unified champions of all time, Carlos Baldomir, he beat both Gatti and Judah but had insane weight advantages over them. And now we get to the bigger fights: Oscar De La Hoya, five division champion with a stacked resume. 43-0 two-weight champ Ricky Hatton, whose aggressive style got dismantled by Floyd (albeit with some help from Joe Cortez) A slightly past it JMM, above where he fights best, but still dangerous, and also a good counterpuncher. Then came three weight champ Shane Mosley, who actually had Floyd hurt at one point, however Floyd recovered and won the fight. 29-2-2 Defending Welterweight champion Victor Ortiz, he had wins over former WBO Bantamweight champ Alfred Kotey, Mike Arnaoutis, Nate Campbell, Vivian Harris, 27-0 Andre Berto, Tomas Barrientes (who had a win over Augustus)and Emmanuel Clottey (1994 Commonwealth Games participant), former champ Carlos Maussa (albeit he sucked as champ), and 1996 Olympian Dairo Esalas. Then came a 37-2 Miguel Cotto who was already elite by this time but went on to be a legend. 31-1-1 two weight champ Robert Guerrero, had wins over 23-0 Selcuk Aydin, Michael Katsidis, Malcolm Klassen, Vicente Escobedo, 35-1 Spend Albazi, a 23-1 Jason Litzau, two of the worst champs ever Eric Aiken and Juan Polo Perez, 30-2-4 Enrique Sanchez, and a 28-1 Berto. Went on to beat 24-1-1 Yoshihiro Kamegai, Victor Ortiz, and got a 2nd win over Berto on the last ever Showtime card 2 months ago. After that was a 42-0-1 Canelo who got schooled by the more savvy Floyd, but bizarrely CJ Ross scored the fight a DRAW. Followed by the two Maidana fights. Maidana was a former champ on the comeback trail after humiliating the undefeated multi-weight champ Adrien Broner. The first fight was tough for Mayweather, the second not so much. Then came the Manny Pacquiao superfight that turned out to be a stinker, and I will not elaborate on the fight itself but Manny was already a legend by this point. Lastly in terms of world level fights, the Andre Berto fight. Berto was 30-3, was a former champ, and had tried so hard across several years yo get a Mayweather fight. When the time came however, this man looked terrible against Floyd, just looked like a deer in headlights. As for the McGregor fight, it’s the weakest in his entire career so it doesn’t count toward much besides Conor’s fame from being a two weight UFC champion.

[@pandarasengan6709]

@@MrMarco855like Canelo Alvarez?

[@MrMarco855]

@@pandarasengan6709 Canelo was obviously a top-level fighter, but he was still a kid at the time. Floyd still deserves credit for beating him, but Floyd definitely cherry-picked his entire career. You can only find a few fights in which his opponent was top level and not compromised in some way. Smaller, at the end of their career, coming off of a loss, he even closed out his career against a non-pro fighter. Hard to defend that. If you examine his career and most of his opponents, you'll find the same thing,. In his very best prime years, Floyd had 8 fights. Most/all were against lower-level opponents or guys compromised in some way. Guys like Baldomir and Mitchell were old/far past their best. Guys like Victoriano Sosa, Philip N'Dou and Henry Bruseles were overmatched B/C level guys. Corley had just lost to Zab Judah when Floyd chose to fight him next. Zab had just lost to 36 year old Baldomir when Floyd chose him next. Gatti was washed up, far past it, he retired soon after. Those were the 8 guys Floyd fought when he was 25 to 29. Meanwhile there were a dozen or so better fighters in/near their prime ready and willing but Floyd ducked them.

What to feel about Mayweather as person... Well, first off he packed his wallet with hefty and healthy networth; Does not take any crap in his body and does not get wasted. Did not have any felony charges and did not beat his women. He does seem to be a normal person just like anyone else.

[@nj1255]

@@ondaride777 There's still people who don't like him for his cocky attitude, and for some reason think that he's a boring and too defensive fighter (like that would be something bad to begin with).

It wasn't until he started having problems with his hands that he became the GOAT in defense.

@@theonewhoisbetterthanyou3570 Good point on the Gatti fight, but I don´t think those 2 were his best performances. Why? Because neither could compete with him and Floyd just ran through them. He mainly showed off his offensive prowess those nights. I think the Alvarez and Cotto fights will always be the ones where Floyd showed off most of what he could do. And the Berto fight as well. Offense, defense, experience, ring generalship... he showed it all. And Cotto actually pushed Floyd, so he made him show grit and fortitude as well.

@@SuperCrazyEstonian i also like that about the Burton fight. Emmanuel gave Floyd a fight and Floyd showed a lot in that fight too.

His best performance is against Gatti but this is right up there especially since Corrales was undefeated.

[@WilfredoNarvaezsaez-mn3dw]

Floyd mayweather jr is the greatest boxing of all time love or hate more skills speed and power

[@WilfredoNarvaezsaez-mn3dw]

True

[@Gio-yo8nt]

Am I the only one who wanted to cry when Floyd was crying and telling his dad I LOVE YOU and IM SORRY DAD.

[@stay-rootednlove2794]

😢 Nope!.. I was searchin' for a kleenex too😢😂😂 *Factz*

[@CuttyMonsta]

I heard somewhere that FMJ still helps the family of Corrales (RIP) and paid for Genaro Hernandez' (RIP) funeral.

[@peupedrolemos9912]

Nossa cara que luta incrível, foi linda a vitória do Floyd 😊

[@velimasuku8808]

That father and son moment at the end 😢

[@_Jay_Singh]

Only time in Floyd’s entire career he was the betting underdog going into a fight. People thought Diego was going to be number 1 pfp. Floyd had other ideas…

[@davidnewby8295]

Best part of the fight was HIM & HIS DAD!!!!❤️💯

[@nik57nik57]

Amazing info. Well said. Am only wondering about the financial aspect. Aren't there any gym that make a decent outcome of it?

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

Floyd was incredible. People who talk shit need to watch this fight. Chico was never the same.

[@Sovran369]

Yo Money is the shit. I love how they talk bad about him in every fight ... They hate to see the greatest boxer ever.. he always make them put some respect on his name... Every fight ... It's didn't start until 26.23 in this fight... But this dude is the GREATEST BOXER EVER.... NO ONE HAS DONE WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR THIS SPORT!

[@jdakid156]

Jesus Floyd’s form was so crisp

[@BlackHandMACK]

Never realized that was Roy that gave Floyd Sr his credentials to be able to enter the ring, dope stuff

[@askia7535]

The best moment of this fight was wen Floyd hugz his Dad Can't get no sweet than that. Rip I miss my dad love always ASKIA 💯

[@gregmack3076]

This is the Floyd i really Enjoyed watching to bring me back to boxing. Now i have no idea what is going on everyone is afraid to lose

[@meshlaw5757]

When he said I am giving all I got yet he wasn’t throwing punches, they should have known right then and there that, that man’s soul had escaped him.

[@ayanrajbose]

How people can hate this legend..

[@TBE99]

It’s usually the white folks that are so desperate for a white hope so they hate on greatness like Floyd 🥊🐐

[@haroldbradley2380]

Chico in the 1st round tried some fair but dirty boxing and Mayweather showed him he can play that game very well with a push off after that chico plan switch and Mayweather does what he do turns a fight into a boxing match

[@ayanrajbose]

Fighters who fought Money Mayweather they are really lucky, They didn't fought Pretty Boy.. An intelligent Beast.. ❤

[@KeojiMaru]

Exactly!

[@lilbru]

Man respect to Hernandez who always showed Floyd respect and seen his greatness early on. Rip Hernandez

[@michaelevans4110]

A Masterclass.

[@bestofbothworlds4990]

Canelo, Mosley, Pacquiao, De la hoya, Maidana, Corrales, Cotto, Marquez, Gatti, Castillo, Hatton, Augustus 'the drunken master', Zab Judah, Berto, Ndou, Mc Gregor,....50-0 TBE

[@ostrichwayne]

I Love this fight so much, i Love all Floyd's fights that was early in his career because you can just see how technical he was.

[@Aaron_Davis]

I still get sad seeing Chico. Dude was a warrior. He said after this fight he'd rather die in the ring rather than quit. It sucks he died so young.

[@TBE99]

Floyd is the warrior. “Hardwork! dedication!” - Floyd mayweather jr 🥊🐐

[@sydneycampbell4233]

I Love My Brother Corrales!!! May He Always Be Blessed IN THE EVERLASTING KINGDOM OF HEAVENLY FATHER GOD ALMIGHTY... HALLELUYAH

[@guepardo8648]

Master in the clinch..using that elbow and attacking right on time.

[@marvingaye7228]

His speed is insane

[@moisesguzman2750]

Rip Diego Corrales.!!😢 Mayweather masterclass

[@carltonp420]

I'd have to say it was Floyd vs Gatti was his best performance

[@ryanjansen8785]

diego looked as if he decisively chose to continue fighting each time, even if he didn't launch himself up right away. and it was surprising how well composed he eventually became after floyd's offense had been amounting later on in the bout....

[@bwmos]

Watching this fight for the umpteenth time still confirms just where TBE comes from. At the time, Chico was a monster of a puncher... He was reduced to a punching bag in this fight. Completely outclassed.....

[@blackwes5071]

They was hating like shit on Floyd he was so good he had the commentators going against him 😂😂😂 Goat

[@smokey_410]

Corrales was applying alot of pressure but Floyd controlled the distance so well and tagged him whenever he was thinking of throwing a punch.

[@guywilliams6569]

Everyone talks about Roy vs Vinny Paz "round 4" and how Roy didn't get hit... But Diego didn't land ONE punch in round 7!!!

[@MrMarco855]

Mayweather fans always make up their own stories. Corrales landed 4 punches in that round. Floyd should have been disqualified and lost the fight. He committed a double foul in the 7th round. He hit Corrales on the back of his head, foul #1. Corrales was down on one knee for 2 seconds before he got hit, foul #2. That's the same thing Roy Jones did and they DQ'D him. It was Roy's first loss.

[@guywilliams6569]

@MrMarco855 lol... giving up the back of your head should not win the fight... white dudes always find ways to discount Floyd's greatness... sorry non of your "hypes" were able to dethrone the king... bet you think "Conor did pretty well" in their fight too... lol

[@guerrillanation1862]

I had to come watch this classic after watching the Crawford/Spence fight!

[@gilmour81]

Oh my days THE BODY JAB from Floyd here should be in the sistine chapel. An all time work of art.

[@me.1475]

I love the total class and respect carlos hernandez shows Floyd in his commentary

[@reneguzmandmvexpert6172]

You mean Genaro Hernandez. He grew up a block away from me I was privileged to know him and his family. Hernandez was a true class act. One of the nicest professional boxers of all time. RIP.

[@chrisdamon1096]

That's because he respected Floyd! He actually boxed Mayweather notice when the other commentator talks negative about Floyd he doesn't say anything....RIP to a class act

[@theobaldbonaparte]

ABSOLUTELY

[@L0B0S]

The mayweather that no one talks about.

[@charlesrodriguez9529]

That was Beautiful picture, never forget. Father & Son.

[@lazyl950]

39:62 had me emotional knowing how difficult their relationship was. TBE

[@ZandyUEFN]

This is like Crawford Vs Spence in so many ways

[@citi360]

It really was. Many parallels.

[@flextv8088]

This fight gives me chills , thinking about how dominant corrales was but loved so lost vs Floyd

[@saltedllama2759]

Crowds always boo the moment a fighter starts moving laterally, claiming he's getting on his bicycle, running, etc., as though it is somehow against the spirit of the sport. Boxing, like any combat sport, is as much about tactics, adjustments, flexibility, and technique as it is strength. Intelligence will beat brutality most times, and the fans only show that they lack the former when they don't appreciate it. Diego was one of the hottest and most dangerous fighters in the sport, he was the much bigger man, he was supposed to be able to cut off the ring, withstand infinite amounts of punishment, and pressure Floyd. Instead, we were witness to perhaps the greatest pound-for-pound fighter in history that is still somehow underrated simply because he is too recent, people don't like his personality, and because he cherry-picked a few spectacles at the latter part of his career. The only real chances anyone might have had against him: -Miguel Cotto, if Mayweather had fought him a couple of years earlier, but then Mayweather himself would have been faster. -Manny Pacquiao, obviously, had they fought around 2008/2009 instead of when they were both past their primes. -Antonio Margarito, before he got caught with the plaster, as this version would have kept coming at Floyd no matter the risk, and would have thrown 1000 punches in 12 rounds. But I would put Floyd up against anyone from 130-147 in boxing history, and I would still like his odds. Yes, even against Leonard despite the KZbin videos showing how Leonard once beat a (much worse) version of the Philly Shell.

[@JohnnyScumbagg]

The way he just made corralles miss who was an absolute monster at this time miss is just incredible
