After watching Mayweather Sr. absorb this amount of punches in this video, I can now see why he's instilled it into Floyd to be so evasive with his boxing style today..
Yeah I agree . Floyd Sr. was terrible defensive wise . Floyd Jr. Of course is one of the best of all time . Floyd Sr. speed was slightly better.
@@alfredmcglothen6050 *the best
@@champarr9278 pep was very good
Sugar Ray In his prime would have destroyed Floyd JR and shut his big mouth just like he did his father!
@@871jamie I think Sugar Ray Robinson in his prime would beat all three
If you’ve ever fought in boxing you realize how insanely in shape you have to be to throw punches like that my goodness
Vegan Phobic and to take a beating like that
Yep. Most people would have blown themselves up and have been worn out
Vegan Phobic why this username?
But basketball players are also in shape, but they punch like elementary students.
@@bai_qi idiot🤣
2 things
1. God damn Sr has a chin
2. SRL was a killer
Same conclusion.. Holy shit sugar ray and holy iron jaw wow what a crazy fight
Wr did u see a human without chin?
@@harbatpakusimungpapa4835 Means he can take a Hit 😅😅
Hand speed by Floyd too...
and having a fractured knuckle injury while in the ring ... that's a real fighter
When you grew up watching this era of boxing, it’s very hard to get excited by what you see today.
Omowàle Zaquir not really. The lighter divisions are always more explosive. The heavyweight division is a bit more dead though. The newer fighters have all developed more fundamental skill sets and its not as flamboyant as the old school fighters that paved the way. Nobody uses the cross guard or the peekaboo style anymore. Very few heavyweights move with their hands down. Its all more technical.
Amen!
Boom Boom Mancini vs. Duk Koo Kim It was on live TV you never see anything like that again on a Saturday afternoon you could tell that somebody was going to be carried out of that ring
Miguel Maldonado
My brother and I watched that fight live. It was brutal. You’re right, I doubt we’ll ever see anything close to that again. Actually, I hope we don’t. I respected Kim a lot for finishing that fight. I was messed up when I heard that he died.
Tell em somethin , nothin but the truth
BOY! They almost allowed you to be killed in the ring back then!
IsCape TV this was an example. Big Floyd was getting his head bashed in!! 😔
@billy bobbert taking unnecessary damage makes you a real man??
@billy bobbert true but I do think the fight should've probably been stopped when floyd balled up on the ropes. He got hit like 10 times & wasn't even trying to move his head or get away
@billy bobbert yeah it can work but I'm just not a fan of fighters taking shots like that. Either fight back or stop the fight
Uncle Elroy his hand was broken.

I concur with the champ
He has the Foreman Killer punch.. with speed

2:08 they did the exact same combo, but Leonard was just a little bit faster
Good observation L
Good eyes
Good shxt
Right after as well
all boxers use that combo to open the head up
I’m impressed how Mayweather Sr was able to stand on his feet after all those fast and hard punches
Leonard was an absolute beast.
David Mazzini good boxer but he was an annoying wannabe.
David Mazzini At least his dady din't run.Leonard owns the Mayweather's
David Mazzini ABSOLUTELY💯❗
Sugar Ray... One of the Greatest to have ever done it. Period.
I'm not very big on boxing,but SUGAR is my favourate,he aspires everything for me,loved the power speed and passion he put into the ring,plus a loveley persona.........Pete from London....obviously bikes are my thing
Floyd Sr had good hand speed back in the day. But Sugar Ray was too much for him.
Ray is one of the best so not a suprise
Ray hits with bad intentions and great leverage.
Sht, Sr still has good hand speed for his age. He d of had a good career if he hadnt gotten his calf blown off.
Ray Leonard was too much to everybody.
atleast he did not run like his son..😁😁
I'm 54 and from DC, so Sugar Ray Leonard was my Era, and he is still my favorite fighter of all time!!
I’m 42, grew up on Iron Mike & say he’s the best.

@@enriquealviar2693 ok good luck. Hope everything works out for you.
OMG! Leonard's hand and foot speed in his prime was incredible.
Great as Ali's
That wasn't even his prime
sugar's rival looks like a moving punching bag for him!
@Paul Walters his foot speed might be better than Ali's but his footwork was definitely not, leonard only really knew how to use his feet to cut off opponents but he's far from being a great technician.
pacquiao can knock out leonard..
Now I understand why senior can't talk properly....
Crack
hahahaahahaahahaahahaahaahahaahahahaahahaahaahahaahaahahahaha Atleast he has his teeth fixed now lol.
Lmao
Mayweather Sr. Is game
He hopes you enjoyed the fight against one of the best.
Sugar was a Bad man! And Sr wasn't no punk!

#Solid
Thats the most empty statement i ever saw
Sr was eating a buncha right hooks to his lower back. Is that even legal?
If Mayweather wasn't a punk in this fight, what exactly was he?
@@taitran8431 yep they are called kidney shots ,goerge foreman was good at using them
Unless you hit the spine that is, then it becomes illegal
Crazy how Floyd Sr. used the philly shell and then taught it to his son who absolutely perfected it
Someone once said to me when looking at a tough guy, "it's not the 1s with the broken noses and cauliflower ears u have to watch out for, it's the 1s that still have their looks" sugar ray encapsulates that point
Nah its other way around
Doesnt matter what they look like as looks can be deceiving.
@@cammodadon5097 agree... You'll get cauliflower ears when you've wrestled at a competetive level long enough and you'll get your nose broken when having boxed long enough competetively.
this is why floyd jr stays defensive
Indeed but you also have to understand, srl forced mws to come out of hes shell with rapid fire combinations and hi work rate, forcing him to do standard boxing face guard witch srl was still getting through, till this very day a fighter like srl would give mwj problems because srl would not give him no room to doge and to muve he would have to come forward like he did with cohnor but hes work rate and speed is not like srl.
Mareta Alo this is the reason Floyd runs lmao
He stays defensive because he hears his dad mumbling now!
@Tahir Mohammed
Exactly, if Floyd gets knocked down then knocked out, they'd say Floyd lost...Fury gets knocked down then knocked out, they say Fury won lol
Ur not a real boxing fan and never followed Floyd Jr's career
mayweather sr sure has an impressive chin to take that many brutal head shots gaddammit!!!
Mr Grandi now you know why he can't talk 😂
Mr Grandi LOL I was about to say the same thing as old boy but he beat me to it,,,, but seriously have you seen the dude try to put together a sentence these days??
And from who...imagen who was fighting him in that ring..a legend.
Mayweather jr has a great chin too..
That why he can’t talk now
Damn Floyd wasn’t lying.. he fast AF
Sugar: sweet but deadly when consumed in large quantities.
🍏
S😂U 😂G 😂A 😂R 😂
Savage lol
This was prime Sugar Ray. He was swinging so hard and it looks like he never got tired. Sheesh. This fight would have been stopped in today's boxing.
That's Cold....
Sr. did quite well in the actual fight they cut out. He gave Leonard trouble in the early rounds, but Leonard went into fifth gear and destroyed him.
Agreed.... He went against his style and paid for it still a very good boxer.
For sure. That’s crazy. This is how they brainwash us. With everything else. Even by speeding up or slowing down a speech it will change ur entire perspective
If Sr. didn't get shot in the leg he would have been able to move better. Imagine Floyd Jr. with no legs
@@myronsmith2114 yea. But jr still has much better head movement and reaction
Leonard don't get tired and Floyd could not hurt him.
Floyd Sr is a OG... Fighters aren't like this now day's
Krispy Mane run or sit on stools lol.
Probably because we know what brain damage is now 😂
its because nobody wants to get open so much and get hit so much in the head.
They're better now days
Yea ..maybe it's for the best. That's why alot of these older dudes can't talk straight
These cats were throwing some serious leather! Damn!
4 Real huh! Not like that today
For real! And with the quickness too!😀
Warren Doris for real, right! Speed equals power.....and I’m like damn.....every punch was a bomb!
RicoTorreze word! Both of them!
This was prime Sugar Ray. He was swinging so hard and it looks like he never got tired. Sheesh. This fight would have been stopped in today's boxing.
Floyd Sr in today’s era would be world champion many times what a freaking heart and chin, and Sugar Ray makes Floyd Jr. look slow! That was hellacious!
@A C H Well you're too young to understand him.
@A C H Nice dream you got. Maybe one day it'll come true 😉
@A C H bitch don't try to year down Leonard fot floyd Jr gtfoh fliyd didnt have the balls to fight a former flyweight let alone anybody credible
@A C H floyd in his early 20s didnt do half the shit leonard in his prime could do and he lost to Castillo
@A C H there was no small welterweight fighters because they we're natural welterweight Floyd Pac man Crawford are natural 135-140 guys
Guys back then left everything in the ring
mayweather SR had fast hand's
+Deano Montano and big guts too, very brave, it a shame that his son never had the father's balls.
+wolfenix Dumbass...
niga u
still does lol
Deano Montano yes he did..I wish he would have planted his feet a little more to get some power on them shits... DAMMM that Sr was fast😃
4:10 The GOAT acknowledged,the shuffle
Mayweather was good, but Leonard's speed and left hook was the key to breaking his shoulder defense.
Also tend to forget just how aggressive Sugar was.
NOW THIS IS BOXING! THEY NEED TO BRING BACK THE OLD SCHOOL!!!
Everything Android it was causing deaths
look at how floyd sr talks now...nah i thinks it was worse
Naw bra this ain't boxing that's a brawl...
Maybe so, but it's more entertaining like this.
Everything Android boxing i$ death now. All they want is money$
Sugar Ray is one of my favorite fighters of all time.
Whopdefuckingdo
Mine too. Leonard is also good though.
The fight he had with wilfred Benitez was legendary
@@ShareefusMaximus I caught that lol
Leonard,Haggard,Hearns from that era and weight classes and Tyson, Holyfield and Roy Jones Jr from the subsequent.
Sugar Ray was getting mad because he couldn't finish him lol
Saw that one as it happened. Greatness. That was a great match and a savage beating. Ray was one of the best Welterweights of all time.
Floyd Sr. has hella heart... But he caught a SERIOUS fade 💯
@Anthony James, sadly yes. But I pick Mayweather Sr over Mayweather jr big time. Mayweather Sr was a beast.
Mario Morua he might have been a beast but his son was bred for this since birth the difference in class is apparent
That was sugar ray tho man...
😄
I mean prime sugar ray Leonard would do that to 99% of all fighters
fight so good they had to skip the comercial break. haha
That Guy I
Damn he's tuff. Crazy chin. Looks like he tried make him tired when he covered up but he never got tired
Holy shit! That's some intensity you rarely see. The speed, power, endurance, heart, and grit displayed here are all off the chart.
floyd sr has heart all day but the fight shoud have be stop earlier. terrible ref.
The Last Man Standing Floyd senior was the one winning
The Last Man Standing It was different back in then.
The Last Man Standing no doubt
both had mad hand speed
The Last Man Standing Thats how fights went down back in the day. Refs were not required to stop a fight like this. Now commissions require a ref to. Mayweather put up a really good fight that shows u how great Leonard is.
Floyd Sr is as tough as they come! He also had ultra fast hands and hit extremely hard! Sugar is just sugar! But that's off to Floyd! There is no quit in him!
He might of had some serious brain trauma from taking that kind of damage. But damn Sr was fast AF
Damm Floyd sr can take some shots
willy figueroa the nigga should of been bobbing and weaving like his son
@@terrencejones1823 bobbing and weaving is a terrible strategy against Leonard because he is just too fast and skilled. That's why Durant tried to make it an ugly fight in their first match because he knew that skill for skill, he was not match. The strategy paid off
nigga took every shots
willy figueroa now he can't talk lul
Ovidio 99l. Ø
Even though he lost that fight in my eyes he’s a true champion the man had mega heart much respect for Floyd Mayweather sr
And he was still trying to do his thing
Bro dude took so many shots and didn’t give up absolutely crazy I applaud him for that shit.
But his son is gay
what’s the use of the heart if you can’t win
@@renzyldomingo7144 go.play piano boy.coz obviously boxing ain't your thing
Sugar ray was on a different level, that hand speed can never be matched by today's fighters.
Great highlights!
Sr's hand speed is ridiculous
This is DBZ speed
Facts im dead
Suger ray had that ultra instinct shit.
Or because the frame rate and quality are Terrible. Lol record yourself on a older camera throwing some loose punches you’ll look quite fast too.
Lol hahaha 😂
DO IT BROLY!
Ray was just 22 years old... He's got to be one of the most advanced fighter ever in terms of fundamentals, skill, speed, pure talent & power (even though he's not known as a Hearns-like puncher at '47). Within By Sept '81, he'd fought Benitez, Duran twice, an undefeated champ in the division above his own (Kalule at '54) & Hearns... He took on all comers & his people knew he could compete with anyone - early on...
Jr aint even been hit this much in his whole career. This fight had ta play a roll as why Floyd Jr is so defensive.
Romero Montgomery I was thinking same thing bro
Floyd Jr use to bang in the ring if he really wanted to take someone out but his hands would break so he switched up from bein a fighter to a more defensive boxer in the ring.
Jr never fought anyone half as good as Leonard and when he did fight anyone half decent he run
@@sbnqy SRL would never beat Jr fighting like this. He's a brawler who would 100% punch himself out while Jr would beat the breaks off him.
SRL had no defense. His style was to just come forward and swing with hooks. Jr would do his famous pivot dodges and would never be backed in the ropes. The shoulder roll on Jr is 10x better than his dads.
His dad was a very lateral fighter who did no pivots or dodges. His shoulder roll wasnt very good because of that fact.
The legends of today like Mayweather and Pacquiao would beat SRL because their styles and skill set is way too diverse, complex, and fast. SRL was a good come forward fighter of his time though.
@@kniviz510 lol -
Sugar Ray Was a Savage!!!!
Yeah Ray was throwing hard ass bolos like every shot he was trying to destroy something.
4:08 Sugar Ray imitating Ali
Ali had influenced both Leonard and Mayweather.
That's why Angelo Dundee became Leonard's trainer. He was the small version of the great Ali
2:59 that speed
slim it’s just rays power was too overwhelming
Floyd Sr had impressive hand speed but damn he took shots
Sugar Ray Lenard....The best in his class ever
Benjamin Huggins Marvin hagler is the best middleweight ever. And Roy Jones and Gerald McLennan would have mauled Ray Leonard.
@Jamal Vines lol facts
Sugar ray Robinson is best pound 4 pound boxer ever he was a middle weight
Multiple classes actually
Those punches that Leonard is throwing are brutal. Wow.
I just happened upon this video.
Never knew of the fight before.
UNBELIEVABLE FOOTAGE !!!
WOW !
The 80’s was a remarkable era for boxing !!!
Is it me or boxers back then threw the punches differently, I mean damn the way the looked ripped yet slim and the stamina and ability to throw infinite punches are not common now. Too many chess matches nowadays with super technical fighters. I love how boxing shapes over time tho
I noticed. Only thing I could think of is PEDs
There were no testin back.then
Nah back then was way better than now and thats a fact!!
@@majthemayor468 youre just an ignorant homosexual
@@Rotten-Subhuman-Indian-Filth Pause
Leonard gave Sr some lessons like he would've done to Jr as well lol
Referee should've stopped this numerous times when he balled up and let him punch him. Ridiculous
Today maybe, but it was different back then, plus without the worry of it being stopped, some fighters would play possum against the ropes and wait for an opening, or for their opponent to get tired.
It’s called rope a dope dude and was a common tactic used back in this era. Ali used it against foreman and ultimately came back to win. It didn’t work as hoped in this fight. Professional boxing ain’t shit these days, hence why nobody watches it anymore.
Yeh I’m pretty sure he had a headache that night
It was str8 Gladiator bac then homie!
Did you not see the fight was in 1978?
And now we know why Mayweather Sr. talks like his brain never matured!
Sugar Ray Leonard looked absolutely vicious, focused and beat Mayweather like he stole something!
Leonard swarmed the shit out of that defense!
dantecry12 thank you someone with a brain
Yeah may sr defense is ass nothing like jr
Un Know broke hand and recently had got shot in the leg some time before the fight
Now you know why floyd senior talks like the way he does
Amazing performance by Ray Leonard!! Especially impressive given how good and tough Mayweather was.
Floyd sure can take a beating because my ass would’ve be gave up in that fight. Ray was just too good
I would choose prime leonard over prime mayweather jr all day
Unknown Critics Me to man! Leonard was bigger, stronger, more athletic, more agile and nimble than Floyd Jr. Ray was also crafty and slick in the ring. Leonard had a good chin, was also gifted defensively, Ray threw high volume of punches each round, Leonard was a ring general, he was more of a killer then Mayweather Jr. Ray Leonard hated losing and Floyd would've pealed like an Orange, if he was old enough to fight a 81' Sugar Ray Leonard. Floyd would've had to kill Sugar Ray to beat him.
Unknown Critics nah, the one thing that's obvious with Floyd senior is he shoulder rolls but has no head movement and his feet was planted. Mayweather simply won't be an easy target. I'd have to see it
Rick Marx their different weight classes. Can't compare the two
mattajas SRL was a huge WW in his 1st weight class. Jr. was a very small WW in his 4th weight class
bojack335 again people judge these guys the wrong way. Floyd should never be compared to these guys hth except for maybe Duran. If you want to compare them then you do it p4p and Floyd easily holds his own in that case
Damn good fights back then
Leonard prime I believe would’ve been the perfect matchup to take down Jr.
@J Anthony a prime pacman would have given floyd his legit beatdown
@IBBY d of course because the fight took place too many years and too many battles later for pacman...a true sportsfan knows that
@@ericjude8618 mayweather only won because the fight was held in vegas.
round per round scoring shows that pacman beat him 9 rounds minimum (solely based on the punches thrown, punches connected, power punches and before clinch pumches)
@jay tags maybe but definitely not in the judges scorecards
@IBBY i am not arguing against floyd winning that fight but for you to say whoop and destroyed, now that is your imaginary world...definitely coming from an uninformed fan
The ref was like if he dies he dies 🤷♂️
Floyd Sr is one of the fastest boxers i've seen
Sr stated that he came in that fight imjured
Check Check He is lying.
jake jakelia now how tf would u KNO dick head don't accuse a man of lying that's dishonorable for one..And sr did have a hairline fracture in his hand that's verifiable...but u would have no idea either way so stfu b4 u just accuse another man and tru fighter of being a liar yo that's sucka shit
Kyle Robinson Do you think he could've beat Sugar Ray if his hand was fine?
@@zsxdemon Not a chance but he could have done better
0:38 that's where jr gets it from
thats what I said
Dope as fight both fighters are explosive. Good video
Wow !!! Every second of this clip I couldn’t stop flinching. & I Love UfC. Legends!!!
Sr wasn't as good as Jr but im positive this fight played an important role in Jr's training
😂😂🤣🤣😅
Sr was good but this was sugar a real one even floyd jr might have lost in his prime to sugar ray
Yes that is why Jr is always running to avoid being hit badly
Joshua Ascano dawg we jus talking about training y u hating like damn
Don't you know about sugar??...the most of his opponents got ko...and sr still could fought him until 10th round..jr would have got ko in the first round by sure...
Wow! What a war! Then Sugar Ray used his special move to finish it! 🤣🤣🤣
Sugar Ray threw a 15 piece combo at the end! Damm 😂💪🏾
Still the highest level ever, Sugar...Roberto...Marvelous...The Cobra.
The Gods of boxing, fighting each other.
Dang senior had some hand speed
No wonder Floyd Jr" has a tuff chin!! Lol it all makes sense now. Senior was a soldier in that ring...
Sugar would have ended some other fighter, earlier in the rounds. Say what you want about the Maywhether's. But they can BOX boy!!
Mann..don't see fights like this anymore
Sugar Ray Leonard was the most beautiful,exciting,skilled and entertaining Boxer there ever was in my opinion.The GOAT
This is what I call boxing! Mad respect to both fighters! Sugar Ray was a beast though.
Nah this shit isnt boxing bruh this gladiator style fight til the death this shit should have been stopped SEVERAL times this is spectacular nd inhumane all at the same time
@@therealdg4458 I agree. It is entertaining but brutal.
4:10-4:14 FEET SHUFFLE BY LEONARD...GAME OVER MAYWEATHER!
I was always told Sr. Hand speed couldn’t be mirrored. Wow what a fast combo puncher. FYI Sr. fought with a broken hand the whole fight.
"We are going to hold on the commercials and stay with it!" - before pay preview!!!
Yeh that’s Sr listen to his voice: sounds the same til this day
Sugar Ray Leonard would beat prime Floyd Mayweather Jr
Yeah but prime for prime they would be different sizes. I'd rather see Duran vs Floyd jr
Hell tf no
Totally different era of boxing floyd jr would suffer a brutal loss!
Now this is what I call a real fight no running away no hugging straight up bobbin an weaving respect to these fighters
So you don't call "technical boxing" boxing?
First Time Ever seeing this Fight, all I could say is WOW!! Their going at it!
Now we know why SR had a speech impairment
Steven Diaz lmao
Mayweather had some heart ❤️🥊
Man I miss this so much, this is when boxing was real boxing and the heavyweight and welterweight divisions both were KING!
Sugar is a pure legend of the sport
Who else is watching this while taking a shit.....
Ps4 Gaming #Tunechiee425 my wife taking a shit and talking shit while taking a shit that's a hell of combinations
Wow! Leonard was just throwing bombs!
Damn...
The combos are CRAZY....
What a fight! Both men were beasts back then
Mr May weather took a lot of beating & still stood there.now he was a boxer.
It's a sad sight seeing the moment a fighter realizes he is outmatched and can't win. He knew it was over and there wasn't nothing else he could do but cover up and do his best to minimize the final moments of punishnent.
Bro he went berserk after that shuffle lmaoooooo
Why was this fight not stopped?
Am I the only one who think gloves were smaller during those days compared to Gloves using today? I mean look at the middleweights we have today they have much bigger gloves than any of these
The weight matters size doesn't.
Warlod CW depends what you talking about because size effects impact as well
