The Version of Floyd Mayweather You Don't See...

Floyd Mayweather is one of the sport of Boxing's greatest, he has slick defense skills, but many don't realize that he also had powerful aggressive skills too. Mayweather was in fact a power-puncher in his natural weight division of 130lbs. In this video we take a look at and educate in an entertaining manner the days where Floyd Mayweather was known as 'Pretty Boy.'
In this unique entertaining style of teaching, we look back into the past of the sport to talk about some fights that made Floyd Mayweather known for his power. We also breakdown the skill he had, as well as some techniques he used in the ring to get him the victory. Some opponents include Genaro Hernandez, his professional debut, Angel Manfredy and Diego Corrales. Not many people know that Floyd Mayweather was once before a knockout artist, in this video we aim to shine light on the history of boxing with regards to Floyd 'Pretty Boy' Mayweather. We hope you enjoy the video!

[@toneyclayton485]

What people really hated about Floyd was that he really had no competition. No one had his speed, reflexes, keen eye and not many at all trained like he did. This helped him be the best. But let us not forget the trainer..Roger. Floyd also came from a family of fighters ( the fighting Mayweathers). This includes his father and 2 uncles. Floyd was also trained by Pernel "sweet pea" Whitaker who was an extremely elusive boxer himself. So with great genetics and training and discipline, he became the best he could be...which made most, if not all of his opponents look like amateurs..eventhough they themselves were very, very good. Floyd was just better.

[@J-Hue]

The few fighters that had the physical gifts, like Zab who was actually a bit quicker when they fought, didn't have the mind. Like with other athletes of his stature, that level of dominance starts with outthinking and outworking the field from start to finish in training and finally in the ring. Floyd was a brilliant tactician from the start of his career to the end. There wasn't a single opponent who both outthought and outworked him.

[@toneyclayton485]

@@J-Hue Zab was not quicker than Mayweather. He was unorthodox and a leftt and this threw Floyd for a temporary loop. But he adjusted, waited for Zab to ture and picked him apart. Alot of people don't like Floyd. I understand this. For someone to have soooo much speed and skill, why not brawl?!!! Because he didn't have to. To utilize his skills, he chose evasion and countering. This is a martial arts thing believe it or not. Mostly in Chinese martial arts, Aikido, Judo Jui Jitsu etc..

[@J-Hue]

@@toneyclayton485 Zab being lefty might have been a factor, but he was def quicker to the punch than Floyd to start that fight. Floyd countered the speed advantage by going to Zab's body, taking his wind from him, and slowing him down over the course of the fight.

This is what happened to me too and it’s why I give him his greatest props. I was a 60 fight amateur only 1 draw 4 loses. About to go pro had a street fight with 4 guys. Knocked them all out even a dude who I saw right off was a boxer too. Tough as hell he was and the fight with me and him was vicious. I let loose obscene-owner punches while teeing his head with my left for range.. 6 of them straight bare knuckles. Hardest punches I think I ever threw. Didn’t go down to the last one. I was legit ready to soccer kick him in the head if he moved cause I don’t think I could throw another punch. I knew through the adrenaline that something bad was wrong with my right. Long story short.. broke 3 places & shattered knuckle 1 finger now like half an inch shorter than it was meant to be. Took 6 months to heal. About 10 months later pro debut, 1st round .. crack! Breaks .. I win the fight in 4 but I’m punching on a broken hand. If the guy I was fighting was any good I’m in trouble. 8 months later - 2nd fight … 2nd round 1st real hard punch… crack! Pain.. lots of it knuckle apparently moved , whole structure of the hand differential and pain… again he is a bum and the punch that breaks my hand again also basically finishes the fight. A year later, my management said I need to change my style to a points fighter. Tried a lot of stuff, becoming left centric switch, you name it. Developed a pretty good punch with the left but I knew it probably wouldn’t trouble anyone of any stature. Had my 3rd fight.. a half decent opponent, wining record, something like 5-8 ( when your a young fighter you fight real bums lol ) so I’m doing ok, I think I’m winning corner says I am lol.. round 4 he hits me with a beauty of check hook turning into a left half upper.. it was nice stuff tbh.. snapped me right out of points fighter mode and into demolition mode 🤣 within a round I finished the fight. I don’t remember much tbh except the guy had a decent chin and took some hard shots. By the last 30 seconds I’m throwing all out power shots. Crack.. Break again.. I remember coming to myself and being filled with an anger at myself and then him that I could hardly contain. After a 15 second frenzy he is out cold and I can feel terrible pain from my hand. I knew that was it.. never fought again. Cause I’m not Floyd and couldn’t wholly change my game. All this happened about 25+ years ago, nearing 50 soon. Still love to watch the game .

People would say "he came in overweight and got fined, if he didn't come in over the limit it would have been a different fight" I always respond with this 'even if the tables were turned FM still wouldve put on a clinic, he might have lost a round or two instead of pitching a shut out against #3 p4p at that time." the amazing part was that he hadnt fought for nearly 2 yrs. People argue that he looked more impressive against Gatti, which is true, he dominated the entire fight but boxing fans expected that type of performance against Gatti, it was entertaining, mean no disrespect but Gatti was a C class fighter at best.

Floyd was a savage if he didn't mess up his hands people would be looking at him differently.

[@ritzkola2302]

It was more than just messing up his hands. He went up 5 divisions. He was usually the smaller guy fighting against very aggressive naturally bigger men by then. A style adjustment needed to be made. Nobody here on our keyboards would fight a man 15lbs bigger/3 ft taller then us- the way we’d fight someone our size.

[@VABornG703]

Exactly

[@lgilles7]

I Just don’t see how a 130 pound Loma beats Floyd. All that getting behind his opponent with angles wouldn’t hold too much weight against Floyd. It would be the first time Loma would be fighting a boxer with this speed,movement, defense, IQ, power, In-ring generalship, conditioning, and chin. I forgot to mention Floyd’s arm reach, inside fighting, and his ability to make adjustments.

[@darrelltowles4099]

Damm honey, you need to go work for ESPN! You said it perfect. Loma couldn't do anything with Floyd.

[@faridmk3707]

Floyd is bigger than Loma but you can not discount High Tech. Lomachenko's ring IQ is unrivaled and his leg work is p4p #1. He is missing the punching power at 130 and he does not fight dirty (which I think is an absolute must at the p4p level) but to assume Pbf beats him is shortsighted. It would be an incredible fight and I lean towards pbf simply because he is a bigger fighter but it would be the hardest fight of his career.

[@UnKnown-nq5hj]

Chenko should never be in the same sentence with Floyd, it's not even close.

[@MrJAMESTAKER]

Floyd would destroy Loma

[@ritzkola2302]

Farid MK Where is Loma’s ring IQ unrivaled in? In what sport? Do you just mean in his current division? Because Bud has the greatest ring IQ of current fighters. His Footwork is arguably at the top. He’s been beaten a dropped. I won’t take away how great and elite it is- but it depends on what we’re looking for...Flashiness or efficiency? PBF at 130 and Loma at 130 are the same weight. Floyd only has an inch on him in height. There’s no drastic size difference. Only noticeable difference is reach. Diego Corrales was thought to be a more than great fight. The hype surrounding that matchup was insane back then. It’s modern equivalent would’ve been Wilder v Fury. Actually that’s a pretty great comparison. Loma has never done that to an elite opponent at 130. I’d still pay ppv to see it though. I’m certain it’d be entertaining. I’m leaning towards a clear victory and stoppage for PBF though. When chums like Linares can drop you there’s not much question whether PBF could hit & hurt you either.

Mayweather was not a boring fighter. Sure, he had some few boring fights but it happens. It doesn't makes him a boring one. Philip N'dou, Chop Chop Corley, Arturo Gatti, Zab Judah, Oscar de la Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Juan Manuel Marquez, Shane Mosley, Victor Ortiz, Miguel Cotto, Robert Guerrero, Canelo Alvarez, Marcos Maidana. If you think this fights are boring then I don't know what's exciting means to you. The media just simply made the people believe that lie. They keep repeating the Floyd is boring narrative until people (even among some of his fans) accepted it like a gospel of truth.

Actually Floyd fought more aggressively under his uncle Roger. Roger Mayweather was an aggressive fighter himself. Floyd Sr hated it and you saw a large shift in Floyd’s style when his dad cornered him, who urged him to be defensively responsible

[@TCthaCrisis]

His style changed because his hands broke down as he himself stated. And him moving up in weight but then fighting on average guys with a 10 to 20lb advantage on fight night. Floyd and Pacquiao are the very rare few that fought very close to their walk around weight. While their opponents cut then rehydrated for weight advantage

[@XGlite015]

Boxing analysts like Larry Merchant and Jim Lampley praised the exciting PBF, but didn't like the boring defensive style of Money May. Floyd had to become a more defensive boxer because he got damaged hands. He fought with injuries like a torn rotator cuff that forced him to switch to southpaw stance and at one time knocked himself down when he hurt his hand.

[@zachweaver599]

I was so mad at that fight...it was funny lol but felt like I wasted money

[@BallKnower88]

himode the reason mcgregor was able to take rounds from Floyd was purely because floyd didn’t know what he was capable of in the ring , as soon as Floyd figured him out mcgregor was not going to outbox him anymore , Floyd is probably the smartest boxer ever

Some things must happen a particular way for us to learn. Floyds hands became brittle, and he morphed under his father to become a defensive genius. However, imagine if his hands had not become fragile. He would have been even more devastating as a pugilistic genius with KO power.

[@raulratonmacias1377]

Mayweather was not a boring fighter. Sure, he had some few boring fights but it happens. It doesn't makes him a boring one. Philip N'dou, Chop Chop Corley, Arturo Gatti, Zab Judah, Oscar de la Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Juan Manuel Marquez, Shane Mosley, Victor Ortiz, Miguel Cotto, Robert Guerrero, Canelo Alvarez, Marcos Maidana. If you think this fights are boring then I don't know what's exciting means to you. The media just simply made the people believe that lie. They keep repeating the Floyd is boring narrative until people (even among some of his fans) accepted it like a gospel of truth. But like I said, people who thinks those fights I've mentioned are boring then I don't know what is exciting means for them?

Pacquaio fan boys especially his Filipino Fans" don't know nothing about "Pretty Boy Floyd Mayeather"..Never watched any of Floyd's fights at 130.-135..No matter how many times you tell them or try to explain it to them that Floyd was a KO artist at 130-135 they rather choose to believe the opposite..The truth ain't hard to find...Nice video well explained..

[@kaisermudanza2624]

As a filipino, this is so true. Filipinos dont like to appreciate talent unless its Manny or another filipino. Most filipinos dont really watch boxing unless its Manny.

[@koolhandduke4087]

I can't blame the Filipinos for loving Pac, that's as natural as breathing. He is a national treasure in the Philippines. It's others, like many caucasians in America who have no great modern day fighters wax critical of Floyd. Many Mexicans are critical too, but at least they have a tradition of great fighters.

[@koolhandduke4087]

@Dont Care --The Mexicans have done very well also. Blacks and Mexicans have a rich fight tradition.

[@hakshustletv]

People forget that before Floyd messed up his hands and jumped up numerous weight divisions where he still dominated, he was practically a knockout artist. He had been fighting outside and above his natural weight class for a long time & noticed the smartest way to have longevity would be to fighter smarter which he did

[@Scout555]

He should have retired and preserved his legacy as a fighter.

[@hakshustletv]

@@Scout555 At which point in his career?

[@khalliddo1385]

Numerous weights you say? How many? 5?

Even though I didn’t like his style of fighting, he is one of the smartest boxers I seen. I saw his fights and sometimes I was surprised by his skills. Definitely one of the greatest so respect to Floyd

The only fighter that gives me butterflies when he fights. I be excited to watch him every time! Love you mane! Be safe!

[@bonganemahlangu9509]

One thing I've observed from his opponents is how smart Mayweather was in the ring. He could change his game and strategy every round if needed. Legend of the game.

[@jaypalma4322]

floyds reaction after his first belt is what it's all about 💯

[@shawnragland23]

No Floyd hater would ever appreciate his greatness or understand why he fights the way he does. He the smartest fighter in history and it’s not even a conversation

I do sir. Im a mayweather hater. But i realy admire his talent. He is a very very good boxer. Very smart. Hello from the philippines

@@marcoxrizzvlogs9850 HAHAHAHA! at least you're honest about it

[@marcoxrizzvlogs9850]

@@yg_7793 i honestly believe that pac will not win over floyd if pac wont k.o or even drop floyd. I cant wait to see floyd get dropped or k.oed bec i know that if the 12th round ends, pac is going home a loser. And i honestly believe that pac won that fight. Bec i watched the replay and a lot of pacs punches landed. Not solid hit but it is a hit. And that is hard to judge in the real time. Floyd hit pac with a very precise punch and that would be easier to judge. Sorry for my english

Gotta be honest I hate this man. But I respect his boxing. In fact, His Philly shell is one of my favorite boxing defenses.

[@dwatsonj]

I respect his boxing too. Can't say I hate him because I don't know him personally, but his style and technique is what it's all about

He was an upgrade of pernel Whitaker.

Why did u hate him? Everyone close to him said he was nothing like his stage persona.
