Floyd bet on himself when he dropped out of high school to focus on boxing and it paid off. Fought his entire career at his walking around weight and beat everyone in front of him. Never failed a drug test, never missed weight, never even got knocked down. Can’t deny his greatness in the ring.
@@gymhustle1839I’m pretty sure his first fight after jail was Robert Guerrero and he missed a “catch weight” by 2 pounds against Marquez. But he also said he wasn’t gonna allow himself to be drained and just paid the fine. You see what happened to Cotto when he allowed himself to be drained to fight Pacquiao for his own title.
@@mikehansen7610 it’s not optimal, but it is somewhat smart if you’re extending active. most of it turns into good fuel for those long training session. i remember watching him drink mountain dew while training on one of the 24/7 promos and was kinda confused lol
Really didnt expect him to truly give him props, flowers, and the fact that he was better. The ONLY time he said he could have won, was with his Father coaching him (giving even more Grace to the Mayweather family and Camp), when asked if he could have won during a rematch... without hesitation he immediately said NO! Im not the biggest Oscar fan, but hats off to him for this interview because he really put Flloyd on a pedestal when he could have just tried to drag him through the mud... Great Interview
That's mostly because he doesn't want to make enemies of Floyd at this stage. Ryan Garcia was seen with Floyd just recently and he's in danger of losing his cash cow.

Floyd is almost a science experiment. The man was literally created from a boxer. Then said boxer raised him from the start as a boxer. Nothing else just boxing. And one continues that regiment mixed in with talent, you get Floyd Mayweather.
That’s why canelo isn’t seen as the best, that defeat made him look weak. He never truly recovered, had he beat him he’d be as great as he thinks he is.
@@cesarpac3723 I’d have to disagree real boxing fans and real boxers do look at him right not as one of the best if not the best . He was only 23 years old when Mayweather was 36. Indeed it was a bad defeat but I’d say he’s beat some great people and also has bounced back from that loss .
@@cesarpac3723 I disagree. There's no shame in losing to Floyd when literally, zero boxers have beaten him. The Floyd fight made Canelo a better fighter, you see how Canelo tries to emulate Floyd's defense ever since that fight. Canelo learned from that fight.
Floyd is unique for 1. it’s in His DNA 🧬 2. HE has one of the Highest IQ’s in boxing 💥🥊 History. 3. Floyd’s conditioning is Top notch. He stays in the gym and stays ready. 4. He’s the reason why All of these new fighters are afraid to lose.
Yeah I've never seen Floyd tired, he was as sharp in 12 as he was in 1. One thing that really impressed me was Floyd's mental stamina. He was always super alert, super aware of what was going on all the time. His composure was also elite
After Victor Ortiz headbutted Mayweather then kissed him as an apology then got knocked out 5 seconds later was the best combination in boxing for me 😂😂
I thought so too. The way Merchant painted Floyd as the bad guy for that was crazy to me. When Floyd went off I completely understood. Years and years of biased commentating Floyd had enough.
I think you should watch that fight again bro. Canelo was skinny when he fought Floyd.. Canelo is 5’7 and Floyd is 5’8. Canelo was not in his prime and he lost because he played Floyd’s game.

Got a whole new respect for Oscar. He kept it real and giving out flowers, but I never thought he would say anything good about money may this was a good interview.
Oscar is so correct. The Mayweather's have a long history of boxing. Floyd Sr, Uncle Roger, and even Jeff. That's a lot of experience and knowledge to learn from. Floyd benefitted from all that experience.

Not sure if Floyd has the eye for talent, the only fighter he's ever had under his promotion worth mentioning is Tank. Curmel Moton has potential but can't say for sure yet if he'll be legit or not.
Idgaf how mfs feel. Floyd is the best pure boxer ever. Pound for pound. He’s fought every style and level of fighter and won. No other boxer can say that. All this talk about killers like Tyson , Ali, Frazier, Leonard, Chavez etc none would take Floyd. He doesn’t fight guys, he fucken outboxes them. This is pure boxing. Floyd is human and can be caught, but it will never ever be as easy as people make it seem. Undefeated for a reason, forever.
The Philly shell does not work against taller fighters, especially if you are a shorter fighter using the Shirley Philly shell. Mayweather would not be able to fight in the 1980s using that style. Imagine him against the 6 foot one Tommy Hearns shooting right hands and Sugar Ray Leonard was also taller than him and Roberto Duran, who had all the tricks in the world and of course, don’t forget about the vicious Marvin Hagler, who could fight south paw or just regular orthodox style. Any of these boxers could knock you out with either hand.
This is what's wrong with boxing. I mean from Floyd's perspective, being the much more experienced fighter, shouldn't be looking to fight young guys, but from the young guy's perspective, you should always take a fight if a legend offers you it. Canelo imo, got better after losing to Floyd, it was a huge learning experience for him, & yall see how Canelo tries to emulate Floyd's defense now ever since they fought. That Floyd fight made Canelo better.
Hearns was 22 in his 1st fight with 25 year old Leonard. De la Hoya was 23 when he beat 34 year old Julio Chavez Sr. If you started boxing around 8 years old like most of these guys, 20 is the beginning your prime. One of the biggest fights back then was Leonard age 23 vs Benitez age 21 & Benitez was the champ in that fight. Stop all this BS about 23 years old Canelo being too young & inexperienced as a 44-0 world champion. 36 is an old man in boxing terms. Was Floyd supposed to fight him when he was 40? Floyd was older & smaller than most of those guys. he fought at 147 & 154 lbs. People act like Floyd was 25 years old his entire 20 year career. I'd bet that Floyd has more Hall of Fame fighters on his resume than any other boxer.has.
your reasoning is flawed because every fighter doesnt peak or decline at the same age floyd fought him at the right time. by career trajectory we all know canelo would become a much better fighter years later so it's not Floyds fault but he didnt fight canelo at is best laura did
@@ryanr20091On the same point Canelo didn’t fight the best Floyd either. Age should’ve been an advantage for Canelo. I hated when Canelo was looking for the rematch when he was in his prime and Floyd was 40 and retired
Great point. What people don't realize is that at the point Floyd fought Canelo, he only had two more professional fights than Canelo (44-0 vs. 42-0). Canelo turned pro @15. Not to mention, he was a unified champion when he fought Floyd. Why fight for belts only to claim you're not ready when real competition comes to you. Be careful when you campaign, you may just get elected. All credit yo Floyd for beating Canelo.
The thing I think everyone should take from this was a man who knew he wasn't 100% but he "dared to be great". More of us should follow that example, just do it because you want it 👍
Prime for most humans in fighting not just boxing . Is at 30 plus . Some might make it to there prime at 27 : talking about canelo at 23 he was inexperienced , he was caught up in the fame and the hype . 23 is still a kid for a fighter . That he was a champ at 23 just means he was above his competition but in comment sense not ready for a mayweather experience type of fighter . It was a miss match that canelos team didn’t see coming (inexperience) . But most fighters have their prime past 30 ….
And at 24, tyson had been world champion. Ali was world champion by 24. So he was experienced enough, so I don't necessarily agree with the young lion theory
Floyd’s an all time great. He didn’t get handed his career. He fought tough fights coming up and won all of them. Man is a defensive genius, and people don’t give him enough credit for the fights he stood in the pocket his opponents and schooled them. One thing I hate is when people try to compare fighters like Broner or Devin Haney to Floyd… no there will never be another Floyd.
Club shay shay is on another level Stephen A wish he could do this Shannon sharp has took his podcast to another level the man grinded and it shows the way he introduces his guest and the study he does to make the interview dope and calm which gives his guest the ability and safety to open up ,again sports commentators and podcaster need to do their research on Shannon because he’s crushing it
People forget how good Oscar was because of how he acts now 😂. He may have even beat Floyd. Floyd’s father said that he lost. That 111-116 scorecard was outrageous.
@@dlowvala1683none of them are first ballot HOF, all those guys are 33 years old, Oscar de la Hoya at that age was a 6-division champion, 3-division lineal champion, Oscar was more accomplished than all of those fighters put together
This was a great interview. Props to Shannon, he low key understands boxing and uou can tell he does his research. Ps. Golden boy woulda got knocked out by Canelo. 😂 Oscar really hate Canelo
pac younger than him 45 and mayweather 47 there prime is at same time and Oscar only a bit older ....canelo thats just false cuz canelo would of still came in with same style canelo changed his style a bit since mayweather and conelo was 15 pounds over
Floyd is the best ever and he would have schooled the 4 Kings..🤡's will cope and try to bring guys from the past to manufacture a loss😂🔥..SRL had the power to pick his opponents too, so I dont want to hear it.
HAHA he would won some and lost some. Absolutely no way Floyd walks out of those fights without a few loses or gets knocked out. He would have held his own for sure, but some of those dudes in the 80s threw bombs and could truly box with the best of them.
Coming back in the Mosley fight was such a huge feather in the cap for Floyd man, that was insane that he didn’t only stay up without a count, but that he came back and meticulously took Suga Shane apart. He was also robbed of Mayweather vs Cotto being the REAL fight of the century because Margarito was plastering and Pacquiao was roiding so much he went from being KO’ed by BODY SHOTS at Flyweight and not being Erik Morales to KO’ing everyone at featherweight/light middleweight.
Floyd ducked and dodge the best fighters in their prime he would wait to fight guys he ducked manny for 6 yrs fight should have happen in 2009, sugar Shane, Oscar so many too name. There was no ducking in the 80s Floyd would have had 5+ losses and he would never beat Sugar Ray ever... Prime canelo over the last 6 years Floyd would have found a way not to fight him lol
Ask Hagler & Aaron Pryor about fighters ducking them. Leonard & Hearns ducked Aaron Pryor & he was 2 weight divisions below them. They both ran to higher divisions to avoid Pryor. Also, Oscar & Shane both tried to duck Floyd & he had to chase after them by going up 3 weight classes.
Floyd was the most successful anyone could ever be at cashing in on his ability to make people hate him. It even works to this day but anyone who doesn't just hate him and is a fan of the sport knows he's the 🐐. At the end of Floyd's career, there's was no one for people to say, "if he had fought this person, he wouldn't have been undefeated!" He beat all the champions in the weight classes he fought during his career and not a single loss. He barely ever lost rounds tbh!!!
What about castillo 1 the first fight and he had a split decision win against a shot de la hoya when he was 29-30 floyd is a great boxer but if he struggled with these guys Pernell whitaker! Tommy hearns! Leonard would beat him! at there best! Hearns would hurt him bad! It's the worst style matchup ever for mayweather! Mayweather fought alot of slow plodders who just come forward! hearns is long rangy has one punch knockout power in either hand is a great boxer puncher fast with the flick jab tommy aint got the best chin but Mayweather doesnt have that type of power or hand strength to keep tommy away! He couldn't stay at range with hearns he couldn't shell up and counter cuz hearns wouldn't be there for it! He's too long and too powerful with his range to get countered! Mayweather is great but just not better than these guys! Even zab was besting him the first half of the fight! And zab doesn't last 5 rounds with tommy or hagler or leonard!
@@cjlewis8311 Judah was never in that fight and neither was Oscar. Castillo was probably the only fight that was close and Maidana 1 was the only time he's even faced real adversity. I'm not talking about judges cards. The Canelo fight was a split decision but anyone who has actually watched the fight knows Floyd didn't really even lose a round.
Taking risks, saying yes, is what makes a great fighter, Canelo grew many years wiser in the fight against Floyd Mayweather and the defeat definitely contributed to his success today. Canelo is the man
Mayweather by far one of the greatest. He fought all the biggest names of his days. If there was any dispute of him losing, he did a rematch and would destroy his opponents. People will continue to deny his greatness, due to being haters.
It’s great that Canelo took the risk and Floyd gave him the opportunity. The fight could have never happened! This was 2013 and in 2015 Floyd retired. The loss was a passing of the torch and Canelo was in a win win situation with earnings and knowing what it’s like to fight THE BEST at such a young age. Back then Canelo hadn’t even formed his man strength. Canelo’s real strength showed at Middleweight or anything other than 152lbs catchweight
Oscar with a bouquet of flowers. Very emotionally intelligent man. Emotions aside. No wonder he's a business man. Enjoy you life Oscar I don't care if you're on the fruit spectrum or not.
It was the best decision Canelo ever did to box Floyd. His fight before he looked average against Austin Trout even though he won clearly. He learned so much from his defeat to Floyd his defence improved dramatically, so did his conditioning and added new tools to his Arsenal that he learned from Floyd mainly defensive techniques and counter punching. Mayweather taught him elite boxing
So… good that he didn’t listen to Oscar then. Canelo grew immensely as a boxer after that fight. Before that fight he was a fearsome up-and-comer but after that fight he carried himself like a champion. Also props to Canelo for actually taking on that challenge instead of focusing on having a perfect record.
The way people talk so bad about this guy I thought he was just gonna bash all these guys this entire interview 💀😂 Cus besides the fight promos I never really seen him in interviews or just normally interacting with people.. Dude humble af. He had given credit to everyone asked about so far 🤷♂️
Floyd waited for Paquiao to drop off before taking the fight with him. Paquiao was active and FMJ "retired" to avoid that fight until he was ready (or Paquiao was washed up). That's an unofficial "L" to me
Oscar truly dared to be great…I appreciate him giving Floyd his flowers
Floyd bet on himself when he dropped out of high school to focus on boxing and it paid off. Fought his entire career at his walking around weight and beat everyone in front of him. Never failed a drug test, never missed weight, never even got knocked down. Can’t deny his greatness in the ring.
And the I.V.s
He did miss weight against Marquez, but yeah.. time to give Mayweather his flowers!
He did miss weight once. His first fight after being released from jail. He was over 3lbs against JMM

Floyd secret was staying so disciplined his whole career, he fought every fight like if he was fighting for his first belt. Dude is the best.

Nah. All those other fighters fought. Floyd played it safe for his career, not for boxing.
I got James Toney. Floyd certainly right there but he certainly had the best discipline or equal to of all time
Floyd has arguably the best defense in boxing history. He definitely perfected and mastered the Philly Shell defense.
The Philly shell does not work against taller fighters, especially if you are a shorter fighter using the Shirley Philly shell. Mayweather would not be able to fight in the 1980s using that style.

The fact that one judge had that fight a draw is why the sport is so corrupt. Canelo got dominated. He probably won 2 round at best.
This is spot on. It wasn’t anywhere close, Canelo got licks from start to finish.
“Canelo my easiest work Alvarez” -TMT
I think canelos record was around 40 and 0 when he fought a 36 year old Floyd NO Excuses
Canelo lost bc he flat footed. And too heavy and slow for such a smaller lighter fighter
This is what's wrong with boxing. I mean from Floyd's perspective, being the much more experienced fighter, shouldn't be looking to fight young guys, but from the young guy's perspective, you should always take a fight if a legend offers you it. Canelo imo, got better after losing to Floyd, it was a huge learning experience for him, & yall see how Canelo tries to emulate Floyd's defense now ever since they fought. That Floyd fight made Canelo better.
Yep
Floyd is the best boxer of all time... not up for Debate
Floyd and Cotto fight was very good fight that was close to score.
Floyd himself said " his fight with Cotto was his toughest fight".
I bet not see nobody in the comments hating on Floyd or saying Oscar is wrong, you can’t argue with a guy who shared the ring with Floyd
You're a talented creator, no joke!
Aaron Pryor never gets credit..
Fighting Floyd was the best thing that happened to canelo
Canelo had 30+ fights before he fought Floyd : they act like he fought a rookie : no he just looked like one vs floyd
Oscar hates floyd, the only reason he’s giving floyd his props is because he hates canelo even more then he hates floyd. Point blank period.
Facts because when Oscar & canelo was on good terms Oscar was saying floyd fought & canelo too young
Now he saying the opposite
@@NorthPhilly-zr7xcbut it’s true regardless, canelo ain’t that great
Oscar was a super talented boxer
Duran and Sugar Ray would have stopped Floyd about round 9
He would have never fought them😀
@elguapo8751 his father fought them, and Jr is way better than Sr.
He'd definitely fight
Keep dreaming!! Floyd would've outbox them. His boxing IQ is too good. Floyd is the king of adjustment and adaptation.
Hearns was 22 in his 1st fight with 25 year old Leonard. De la Hoya was 23 when he beat 34 year old Julio Chavez Sr. If you started boxing around 8 years old like most of these guys, 20 is the beginning your prime. One of the biggest fights back then was Leonard age 23 vs Benitez age 21 & Benitez was the champ in that fight. Stop all this BS about 23 years old Canelo being too young & inexperienced as a 44-0 world champion. 36 is an old man in boxing terms. Was Floyd supposed to fight him when he was 40? Floyd was older & smaller than most of those guys. he fought at 147 & 154 lbs. People act like Floyd was 25 years old his entire 20 year career. I'd bet that Floyd has more Hall of Fame fighters on his resume than any other boxer.has.
💯 Salvador Sanchez, Benitez, Tyson were not "too young and inexperienced "
Facts
your reasoning is flawed because every fighter doesnt peak or decline at the same age floyd fought him at the right time. by career trajectory we all know canelo would become a much better fighter years later so it's not Floyds fault but he didnt fight canelo at is best laura did
@@ryanr20091On the same point Canelo didn’t fight the best Floyd either. Age should’ve been an advantage for Canelo. I hated when Canelo was looking for the rematch when he was in his prime and Floyd was 40 and retired
Great point. What people don't realize is that at the point Floyd fought Canelo, he only had two more professional fights than Canelo (44-0 vs. 42-0). Canelo turned pro @15. Not to mention, he was a unified champion when he fought Floyd. Why fight for belts only to claim you're not ready when real competition comes to you. Be careful when you campaign, you may just get elected. All credit yo Floyd for beating Canelo.
If Floyd were to fight Canelo again he still would beat him
No way not today
The thing I think everyone should take from this was a man who knew he wasn't 100% but he "dared to be great". More of us should follow that example, just do it because you want it 👍
Floyd = 🐐. The End.
Manny is greater
💯
@@Milkdejean
He lost to Floyd
@@lilsaff21 8 division world champion
I’m the first to say Muhammad but what Floyd did with boxing and all that money definitely makes him the goat plus he never lost 😂😂
23,a champion, 40+ fights and hes not in his prime? When is a boxers prime then? Most boxers at 36 are old...
Usually 28- 34 I think, experience is a huge factor in boxing
Prime for most humans in fighting not just boxing . Is at 30 plus . Some might make it to there prime at 27 : talking about canelo at 23 he was inexperienced , he was caught up in the fame and the hype . 23 is still a kid for a fighter . That he was a champ at 23 just means he was above his competition but in comment sense not ready for a mayweather experience type of fighter . It was a miss match that canelos team didn’t see coming (inexperience) . But most fighters have their prime past 30 ….
@@abraham7140exactly what I replied . Fighting is skill & experience . Not just 1
So you’re basically saying Floyd’s prime was at 23 by your logic? 😂
Bruh Floyd beats canelo today the exact same way 😂😂😂😂 I don’t see canelo doing anything different he fights the same
Oscar telling the truth but FMJ haters wont accept it.
Canelo was 24 years old when he fought Floyd and he had 42 -0 when he fought Mayweather so Canelo was there the young Lion vs the Old Lion
And at 24, tyson had been world champion. Ali was world champion by 24. So he was experienced enough, so I don't necessarily agree with the young lion theory
The boy got schooled by the master....
Floyd’s an all time great. He didn’t get handed his career. He fought tough fights coming up and won all of them. Man is a defensive genius, and people don’t give him enough credit for the fights he stood in the pocket his opponents and schooled them. One thing I hate is when people try to compare fighters like Broner or Devin Haney to Floyd… no there will never be another Floyd.
Actually it was a blessing and RESPECT should be given to a young fighter in Canelo for fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr.🗣️💯
Club shay shay is on another level Stephen A wish he could do this Shannon sharp has took his podcast to another level the man grinded and it shows the way he introduces his guest and the study he does to make the interview dope and calm which gives his guest the ability and safety to open up ,again sports commentators and podcaster need to do their research on Shannon because he’s crushing it
A legend giving a legend his well-deserved his🎉 🎉🎉
People forget how good Oscar was because of how he acts now 😂. He may have even beat Floyd. Floyd’s father said that he lost. That 111-116 scorecard was outrageous.
Canelo fought NOBODY in their prime. NOBODY
Bivol, smiths bros , plant, , Jacobs
@@dlowvala1683none of them are first ballot HOF, all those guys are 33 years old, Oscar de la Hoya at that age was a 6-division champion, 3-division lineal champion, Oscar was more accomplished than all of those fighters put together

Great interview. I've always respected him as a boxing fan.
This was a great interview. Props to Shannon, he low key understands boxing and uou can tell he does his research. Ps. Golden boy woulda got knocked out by Canelo. 😂 Oscar really hate Canelo
Bernard hurt you. You went down to your kness
body shot fo
How is Oscar gonna sit there and tell that lie? "Floyd didn't hurt me"... If I recall, one of Mayweathers few knockouts was against de la Hoya lmao
Nah Floyd won a split decision against Oscar
Your channel is like a carnival in the world of entertainment and laughter. Continue to delight us with your entertaining and funny videos!🐈🥩🐂
Floyd beats all those guys you mentioned, shannon 🤨
Oscar gives Floyd credit because he acknowledges that Floyd cherry picked Oscar, Pacquiao, Canelo, etc when they weren’t in their prime 😭😭
pac younger than him 45 and mayweather 47 there prime is at same time and Oscar only a bit older ....canelo thats just false cuz canelo would of still came in with same style canelo changed his style a bit since mayweather and conelo was 15 pounds over
talking just to be talking 😂 engagement over facts i guess
Floyd fought:
De La Hoya
Hatton
Marquez
Mosley
Ortiz
Cotto
Guerrero
Canelo
Maidana x2
Pacquiao
ALL BACK TO BACK FIGHTS.
Floyd Mayweather jr. is a Paper champion and that's that
That's not what Oscar is saying. I'll take Oscar's opinion over yours
@@tyroncline5978Oscar also said Canelo was too inexperienced for Floyd. You taking that opinion over everybody else’s too?
You just look at Floyd’s stats and not watch his film ? 😂
Go back to sleep
Everybody who saw the fight you the confirmation ain't no need to believe they would have a different opinion. Go to bed son.
This is the best interview ever❤
I have subscribed to the channel.
Floyd is the best ever and he would have schooled the 4 Kings..🤡's will cope and try to bring guys from the past to manufacture a loss😂🔥..SRL had the power to pick his opponents too, so I dont want to hear it.
Lmfao he’d never beat sugar ray at 147
Boy… Roberto Duran aka hands of stones and Sugar Ray would def knock his socks off.
HAHA he would won some and lost some. Absolutely no way Floyd walks out of those fights without a few loses or gets knocked out. He would have held his own for sure, but some of those dudes in the 80s threw bombs and could truly box with the best of them.
Real talk. All of the 4 Kings fell, and Floyd remained undefeated. No one knows how or who “could” have beat Floyd because he NEVER lost 🐐 👑

Best move of Canelo career . It put him on the fast track
Coming back in the Mosley fight was such a huge feather in the cap for Floyd man, that was insane that he didn’t only stay up without a count, but that he came back and meticulously took Suga Shane apart.
He was also robbed of Mayweather vs Cotto being the REAL fight of the century because Margarito was plastering and Pacquiao was roiding so much he went from being KO’ed by BODY SHOTS at Flyweight and not being Erik Morales to KO’ing everyone at featherweight/light middleweight.
Floyd ducked and dodge the best fighters in their prime he would wait to fight guys he ducked manny for 6 yrs fight should have happen in 2009, sugar Shane, Oscar so many too name. There was no ducking in the 80s Floyd would have had 5+ losses and he would never beat Sugar Ray ever... Prime canelo over the last 6 years Floyd would have found a way not to fight him lol
So basically you’re saying Manny ducked and dodged fights too because he fought Oscar, Hatton, and Sugar Shane all AFTER Floyd fought them
Ask Hagler & Aaron Pryor about fighters ducking them. Leonard & Hearns ducked Aaron Pryor & he was 2 weight divisions below them. They both ran to higher divisions to avoid Pryor. Also, Oscar & Shane both tried to duck Floyd & he had to chase after them by going up 3 weight classes.
LOL Oscar "He's got power, but he didn't hurt me." Just lost credit my dude.
Since Clap Back Thursday's, Oscar's been a buck 👊🏼
Respect ✊🏼
Best thing for Canelo is that he fought Floyd. Nobody comes close for him after that.
Respect to Oscar for being honest & commendable in his speech about Floyd
They didn’t have a rematch because Floyd clearly won 😂
Lies....Oscar told Canelo and everybody that he had the blueprint to beat Floyd. Go back and watch the 24/7 episodes
Canelo showed no heart against Mayweather. Maidana however, did show heart.
Surprisingly honest answers from Oscar. Good to see him back in a good mental state and giving props to those who deserve it.
He said Bernard didn’t hurt he was on the canvas screaming lol
Floyd was the most successful anyone could ever be at cashing in on his ability to make people hate him. It even works to this day but anyone who doesn't just hate him and is a fan of the sport knows he's the 🐐. At the end of Floyd's career, there's was no one for people to say, "if he had fought this person, he wouldn't have been undefeated!" He beat all the champions in the weight classes he fought during his career and not a single loss. He barely ever lost rounds tbh!!!
What about castillo 1 the first fight and he had a split decision win against a shot de la hoya when he was 29-30 floyd is a great boxer but if he struggled with these guys Pernell whitaker! Tommy hearns! Leonard would beat him! at there best! Hearns would hurt him bad! It's the worst style matchup ever for mayweather! Mayweather fought alot of slow plodders who just come forward! hearns is long rangy has one punch knockout power in either hand is a great boxer puncher fast with the flick jab tommy aint got the best chin but Mayweather doesnt have that type of power or hand strength to keep tommy away! He couldn't stay at range with hearns he couldn't shell up and counter cuz hearns wouldn't be there for it! He's too long and too powerful with his range to get countered! Mayweather is great but just not better than these guys! Even zab was besting him the first half of the fight! And zab doesn't last 5 rounds with tommy or hagler or leonard!
@@cjlewis8311 Judah was never in that fight and neither was Oscar. Castillo was probably the only fight that was close and Maidana 1 was the only time he's even faced real adversity. I'm not talking about judges cards. The Canelo fight was a split decision but anyone who has actually watched the fight knows Floyd didn't really even lose a round.
Everyone knows he ducked Paquiao and fought him when he was out of his prime and injured.
Taking risks, saying yes, is what makes a great fighter, Canelo grew many years wiser in the fight against Floyd Mayweather and the defeat definitely contributed to his success today. Canelo is the man
Oscar is a true gentleman for this!!! Thank you, brother, for giving that man his flowers. You deserve yours as well, brother.
The older generation boxers wish they were businessmen like floyd. But as an industry matures the players get smarter.
Oscar is an all time great who fought everyone….just because he lost to Mayweather doesn’t mean anything! Throwback fighter
Was NOT expecting to click this and listen to Oscar give Mayweather props the entire conversation. Interesting.
Julian Jackson. Floyd would have wrecked Jackson, but Jackson always had the ability to one punch anyone.
The only knock on Floyd is fighting Manny when he was declining.
Mayweather by far one of the greatest. He fought all the biggest names of his days. If there was any dispute of him losing, he did a rematch and would destroy his opponents. People will continue to deny his greatness, due to being haters.
It’s great that Canelo took the risk and Floyd gave him the opportunity. The fight could have never happened! This was 2013 and in 2015 Floyd retired. The loss was a passing of the torch and Canelo was in a win win situation with earnings and knowing what it’s like to fight THE BEST at such a young age. Back then Canelo hadn’t even formed his man strength. Canelo’s real strength showed at Middleweight or anything other than 152lbs catchweight
Oscar with a bouquet of flowers. Very emotionally intelligent man. Emotions aside. No wonder he's a business man. Enjoy you life Oscar I don't care if you're on the fruit spectrum or not.
“Bernard didn’t hurt me” bro had him floppin like a fish 🐟 😂😂😂😂
Oscar says it wasn’t close but one of those judges gave it to Canelo on that card. I was like what fighter they watching.
It was the best decision Canelo ever did to box Floyd. His fight before he looked average against Austin Trout even though he won clearly. He learned so much from his defeat to Floyd his defence improved dramatically, so did his conditioning and added new tools to his Arsenal that he learned from Floyd mainly defensive techniques and counter punching. Mayweather taught him elite boxing
So… good that he didn’t listen to Oscar then. Canelo grew immensely as a boxer after that fight. Before that fight he was a fearsome up-and-comer but after that fight he carried himself like a champion.
Also props to Canelo for actually taking on that challenge instead of focusing on having a perfect record.
De la Hoya talks really clear for a former boxer.
The way people talk so bad about this guy I thought he was just gonna bash all these guys this entire interview 💀😂 Cus besides the fight promos I never really seen him in interviews or just normally interacting with people.. Dude humble af. He had given credit to everyone asked about so far 🤷♂️
Floyd waited for Paquiao to drop off before taking the fight with him. Paquiao was active and FMJ "retired" to avoid that fight until he was ready (or Paquiao was washed up). That's an unofficial "L" to me
Floyd would hang with the 4 kings and he would ko duran
Please stop it
@@Lefthook-poweroff duran was an easy ko Floyd to smart for him
Canelo was 23 and half when he fought MW. That’s same age Leonard as when he fought Hearns in first fight
Oscar is supper articulate and insightful when he is "healthy." Lots of natural intelligence at display.
