Way above Jordan’s status, Jordan is definitely one of the greats no questions asked but there are other on his level and even considered possibly better. There is no one on Floyd’s level in and out of the ring, he is the smartest and most skilled boxer in boxing history and there is no denying that one bit. He makes bouts look easy even against some of the supposed greatest boxers like Canelo. He literally played with Canelo like a child and Canelo is still considered the best in boxing right now. He did that with many top boxers.
@@James_Edward59 he didnt make it look easy against Maidana, De la Hoya and Cotto. He was the clear winner but they were not easy wins like the Gatti fight. I dont know if he is the smartest boxer but he was smart in choosing fights. A small Marquez, Pacqiaou when he and Floyd himself were out of their prime, an irrelevant Berto as a last fight, Cotto who had seen better days but was champion, a faded Mosley who gained momentum from beating Margarito when Floyd should have been the one fighting Margarito (I know he is a damn cheat). And then a 22 year old delusional Canelo who really thought that he could beat Floyd.
When roach said he feed manny some extra info to hype him up more. I knew Floyd won the mental game. If waiting 5 years wasn't enough and being accused of taking roids (which I think manny was juicing 2008-2011) isn't enough to hype you up idk from a competitive stand point what will
He definitely was, Freddie Roach in an interview said it himself, as soon as Mayweather asked him to take a drug test as a condition, Manny got scared and didn’t want to fight anymore.
exactly why andre ward is the pound for pound the best now--Great teacher n trainer for him--many many years--he ll retire undefeated too--Hasnt lost a boxing match since 12 Krazyyyy

i am such a huge fan of boxing, i would literally pay virgil just to sit down with him and talk everything boxing..... hes definitely my favorite interview
Virgil really struggled with that first question, and he never struggles. After a lifetime training Andre Ward, I would think it's very hard to get "UP" to train less than A+ fighters. The only thing special about Berto to Virgil is that check.
Hunter is virtually useless in-between rounds though. He gives no advice on what to actually do in the coming round. He just tries to fill his fighters head full of belief which is good of course but as a trainer you should be spotting patterns of the opponent during the fight and look for openings and advising your fighter on how to capitalise on that. I never see him giving this kind of advice, maybe it's just his style but it always seemed a little strange to me. When you're not in the ring, you see things objectively and things your fighter may not be seeing up close.

I respect Virgil...I from the Bay Area, I got love for Andre Ward, Karim Mayfield and so, on however, Berto ain't mind fucking Floyd tomorrow...Floyd is going to be Floyd..Guerrero & daddy tried that shit & it didn't work...all Berto can do is try his beat & accept defeat...
Virgil Hunter bring a very interesting perspective, very astute in the psychology of boxing. Freddie and Manny lost the Mayweather Jr fight before the first bell even rang to start the fight, they lost the fight at the negotiating table. Acquiescing to all of Floyd's demands proved to me that Manny was ok with losing the fight, all he was interested in was the pay day.
All that shit he is saying has nothing to do with boxing... psychological or what ever... that dont mean shit when it comes time to throwing them hands... reason he wins is they cant hit him and even if they do he can take a punch. I love how people say mayweather cant punch but if you watch every fight he has had they stop coming forward... dont care who it is... they start back peddling... and if his hands were not prone to breaking every time he fights ... i wonder if he would have knocked out all of them.
+Sean J It may not make a huge noticeable difference because Floyd is so good anyway, but even if it gives an extra 1% difference, it's still an advantage. Plus many guys have gone out of their usual styles and trying to chase Floyd around the ring and land a big shot that never comes. He's too difficult to beat even when you're fighting in a style that is natural to you, so once his mental games have got you fighting in a style that isn't natural to you, then you have literally no chance against a guy as good as him. It all helps. But you're right in the other ways, he is just too good either way. He has deceptive power too. If he didn't, then big strong guys like Canelo, Cotto, a 154 De La Hoya etc would have walked through him, but they couldn't because they didn't like what they felt on the counters. He made Pacquiao gun shy with 2 right hands in the first round, i don't think they necessarily hurt him but he knew there was a bit of power there should he walk into one a la Marquez. No power is a guy like Malignaggi, he could box beautifully in his prime, had a great jab as good as anybody and good movement but top level strong guys could find a way through him eventually because he had nothing to keep them off him, but Floyd had enough. He could have had more knockouts, he just rarely sits down on his punches.
Floyd was a knockout artist in his prime as Pretty Boy Floyd, if it wasn’t for his hands, he would of knocked out a lot of boxers the 2nd half of his career. Honestly though, Floyd is a genius when it comes to boxing and psychological war fare and I think the truth is that he doesn’t want to knock anyone out. Most people don’t realize, hardly anyone ever asks Floyd for a rematch unless it’s just about money and they know they are going to lose, the reason they don’t is because he purposely takes them the distance, wears them out and outboxed them and humiliated them. No one wants to go through that again especially when in their head they know they got defeated by a far better boxer, when you knock people out, they get the idea that they can beat you next time and you just got lucky.
@m.y.t I feel you but with berto u can't do that!! they know each from highschool and berto never been the fighter to get caught up with that bullshit... Virgil know some shit but with this fight none of it is needed!!
He will when his fight he will fight again I promise u it's so Imple they line up to fight him it's a long fight he doesn't let the crowd influence his fights if u look at miss Jackson she tried to mess his mind up but he's always in control and that never changes he owns the other fighters ass from the day the fight is sigbed
Is he talking about Freddy roach is mistakes?!!!! When is the lasttime any of his fighters won a fight??? Hunter is just hear not to win just for a check!
Lol you know damn well pacquiao doesn't even fully understand English and he's a pro fighter he was never even effected mentally he just goes out and fights he wasn't trying to ko Floyd lol
Imran Ali The Vegas judge was on crack. He lost 3 of the last 4 rounds on 2 of the judges cards and all 4 on the other judges cards. For him to have on he would've had to win 7 rounds which means he needed to win 6 of the first 8 rounds and there is no way on God's green earth he did that man. Ray Charles could see that man and Emmanuel Steward didn't say it could've gone either way
Imran Ali I watched it again a couple of weeks ago and that fight was nowhere close to a draw man. Oscar clearly lost 3 of the last 4 rounds and maybe all 4. How in the fuck do you give him 6 rounds? He stopped using his jab after about the 8th round and that's when he lost the fight. If Floyd wins 3 of the last 4 rounds then that means Oscar won 5 or 6 of the first 8, that is impossible man and if you scored it like that then you have no clue how to score a fight. Emmanuel said that there are 2 ways to score a fight and that fight some judges favor aggression and other judges favor effective clean punching. It wasn't his opinion he was giving dumb ass. Stop trying to twist shit to fit your purpose.
Floyd's legacy will make an amazing documentary. Jordan status indeed
+DON FETUCCINI defo floyd was born to box

@Legend of Awww Sheeet He beat the shit out of Corrales.
You mean Castillo, which he also won
@@James_Edward59 wouldnt you say that Canelo today has improved since the Mayweather fight and that he would be a better Challenge as he is now.
@@James_Edward59 he didnt make it look easy against Maidana, De la Hoya and Cotto. He was the clear winner but they were not easy wins like the Gatti fight.

We need more people like him in boxing.
You can tell he's studied Mayweather for years
+D Mac I agree, but he obviously has studied Floyd for years. Andre Ward admittedly uses Floyd moves.
+D Mac Absolutely
Dayum, virgil the type of guy who makes me question everything around me.sharp mind he got
Virgil Hunter=Morpheus.
It always fascinating to hear Virgil break down a fighter.
Hunter knows his stuff.
One of the sharpest minds in the game
+Momoney 786 deffo by far, man is deep
+Izaya.Coles his fighter couldnt do shit against Mayweather. wat a mismatch!
Genius recognize genius!
Damn, I took so many psychology classes and never even thought about this sht, lol.
lmaooo foreal
Virgil sound like a mayweather fan he admires him respectfully so
or he’s not jus like the rest of the bias haters and keeps it real
@Jimmy Versace you ok?
@Jimmy Versace why are u telling me this?😂

this channel is AMAZING
Love hearing hunter rap
Holy hell he broke down stuff I had no idea was a factor and it all make nothing but since!!! Salute to Virgil Hunter!!!
Virgil and Ward were the Kings of mental warfare..he should know all too well
Mayweather still whip that ass.. dont matter what they do. /done

Hunters wishes he could have trained Floyd
He *never believed* Berto could defeat Mayweather.
smart man!
Smart
I'm sorry this man told berto no useful direction in the fight..i think he dint have game plan.smh
Hahaha… what useful information could he have given against Mayweather?! NONE!
@m.y.t I feel you but with berto u can't do that!! they know each from highschool and berto never been the fighter to get caught up with that bullshit... Virgil know some shit but with this fight none of it is needed!!

mayweather was beatable..old oscar nearly did it...castillo did it..maidana nearly did it...2 draws 1 loss right there....
+Imran Ali old Oscar didn't nearly do shit. The fight was an easy 8-4 116-112 fight. People who think Oscar won are crazy as hell or have an agenda
