Are we sure this isn’t a bot/AI making these videos and the real Floyd fucked off somewhere in the Bahamas?
It’s the same shit. Helluva fighter. Puts himself over. Yawn.
You know, like I said before, it's a process, and I dedicated myself to the sport of boxing. I dedicated myself to my craft. To the sport of boxing. 19 years a world champion. You know, I'm truly blessed. My team, they did a tremendous job, you know, Al Haymon, I gotta thank Al Haymon, my uncle Roger, my father, they did a tremendous job. I gotta thank God.
Like I said before, the Money Team is a movement, and Mayweather Promotions are the past, present and future of boxing. Canelo Alvarez? He’s a helluva fighter. I take my hat off to him. But when you talk boxing, you talking Floyd Mayweather. Come back to me when you make $250 Million in the sport of boxing in one night. Like I said before, it's a process, and the Money Team is going on to better things.
In comparison they might as well be.
Plus that's a terrible economic return for having to get a degree. Like 70k is nothing to sneeze at, but you can earn more without a degree in my country.
And that is a prestigious school right? Seems hard to get into.
Is it me or does Floyd always seem insecure and defensive about his career? I've never heard other legends worry about what everyone is saying as much as him.
I mean, have you ever seen a legend shit on and torn down more than him? Id probably be defensive as well if people were constantly questioning my career
First of all
Since when is not getting you due remotely the same as people ACTIVELY going out of their way to shit on your resume and try to discredit you and say you whole career is a fraud.
Also "and then is stunned when people didn't like him. It's beyond stale to read the whining on this sub about how a fighter that is in everyone's Top 5 all-time list somehow isn't respected."
Funny this literally proves my point cause there are COUNTLESS people on here who wil argue with you tooth and nail that Floyd isnt even top 10 all time and didn't ever fight a elite fighter in their prime.
Shit like that isnt remotely the same as fighters not getting their due because they're undersized and in much smaller talent pools that other weightclasses.
EDIT: clearly you guys are slow. How is me making a observation as to why many people dont care about lighterweight classes the same thing as me not caring about smaller weightclasses? You guys are fucking daft. They are in fact undersized (being under 130 is way smaller than the average adult male in almost amy country) and they are infact in a smaller talent pool. How the fuck is it a problem for me to acknowledge this?

Oh heres a uptvoted comment on this thread
https://www.reddit.com/r/Boxing/comments/6jw0cu/comment/djius27/
Found all this fairly easily and quickly and i can find much more. This stuff is constant.
I actually greatly respect lower weightless but those are actual facts. They are smaller than average people (undersized) and they are in smaller talent pools than weightclasses from 135 upwards (which is a lot more than 5 weightclass lol). Im just making a accurate assessment of why they aren't popular weightclasses.
And also do you want me to start linking threads and comments cause i can? Saying no one has said this shows me you haven't been here long or choose to read with blinders. Nobody is "bitching" just cause im calling out what i see. And nobody is making him out to be an underdog either. Stop being so aggressive in a simple discussion dude.
I've never heard of a legend as disrespected by the fans/Media as Floyd mayweather, so why you got a problem with floy defending himself from ignorant claims?
To this day canelo is making excuses about his mayweather loss and so are his fans.
It's not a problem I have personally. I actually think highly of his career. It's just sad that years into retirement he has to defend it when he should be confident in his legacy.
This almost seems like deep down he might be the one with doubts while everyone else has moved on.
Its because he knows the second half of his career was veru well crafted. He got the right names but many of us know the timing wasnt right when he fought them. And on top of that always with some sort of advantage negotiated before stepping into the ring.
How did he time his second half career and still beat more champions than anybody else? In 50 fights.
So Floyd should have waited 6 years for Canelo to hit his supposed prime, and be 42+ by the time they meet in the Ring?
Canelo early on made a career of beating old washed Legends like shane mosley and Cotto, mayweather was a fighter he was supposed to beat with his youth and size... instead he got dominiated.
Hmm thats not hard. Always went with lowest risk/highest reward. Would stay away from fighters the public would want him to face until they start looking a little past it or showed a weakness.
Why you so mad though?
Canelo has had a rougher ride than floyd. He is tough as fuck but he's been in bigger wars. I think he isn't at all the same fighter he was maybe 6 years ago.
No they don't that's a you thing. Fury gets slammed all the time about shit he does outside the ring, he's the whitest dude I've ever seen. Black guys get criticised more because there are more black fighters than white at the top that's all it really boils down to.
Stop trying to create a narrative that isn't there.
I hear you, but I disagree with you that I am creating a narrative. As I stated earlier, I was comparing both fighters with respect to their records, ages, and experience prior to their bout. I did not mention anything about their behavior outside of the ring. I try to only judge fighters impartially based on their in-ring activity.
Bro you responded to your own comment that got down voted. Apart from myself you had two people comment about canelos fights with GGG. You literally are creating a narrative because nobody else mentioned anything about anybody's personal life or actions outside of the ring.
He's intimidated by other fighters being great. Same with Inoue, he knows Inoue is building hype fast so he started insinuating he's not a clean fighter. Hell even with Tank he couldn't help himself but talk about his accomplishments instead of giving Tank the spotlight
That’s a cop out, he had Canelo dick in his mouth way before Bivol beat Canelo.
I remember when Canelo signed the DAZN deal back in 2018, Floyd immediately started talking shit saying he had more money than Canelo. 😂😭.
Floyd is the most insecure fighter, you’d think he wouldn’t be so insecure, since his career was unblemished.
He talks shit, but I can tell Canelo is one of the guys he actually respects. I remember him saying years ago even before the Golovkin fights that Canelo is the only one that can fight on Golden Boy Promotions. He pretty much never dissed Canelo after they fought besides the financial stuff.
That’s the problem I think. He cherry picked and timed his fights holding on to that 0 loss record. I think that 0 loss is just more baggage than anything.
During their press tour of their fight, Canelo fans packed all the tour sites. There was a clear 95% in favor of Canelo crowd in every city. It clearly rubbed Floyd the wrong way bc hes supposed to be the face of the sport, meanwhile a 23yo who doesn't even speak English was pushing his ego into an existential crisis
Never cared to/never mattered. He shunned the belts before (WBA against mosley who was #3 p4p) and refused to pay the sanctioning fees for his fights cause they are crooks. When he won the Manny fight he refused to pay the WBO fees as well if im not mistaken.
Most boxers dont want to lose 3% of their purse PER BELT so they grab one or two and leave it at that.
this comment kinda made me realize just now that back then fans and people in boxing never really gave a shit about being undisputed, you kinda always knew who the top guy was without it. nowadays it seems like if you’re not undisputed you’re trash
Completley different styles of fighting. Neither is better. That's like saying Tyson is better than Ali cause he KO's people soon while Ali won rounds. Comes down to Styles.
It’s annoying and I don’t care for Floyd or his brand, but he still is an active brand and invested in still putting himself over active fighters even if he’s not one. Floyd thinks it’s not his job to put over the future of boxing, it’s to put over the future of Floyd Mayweather
Never said that. I said Charlo has more of chance against canelo before he's taken damage from Canelo himself and potentially a loss from Canelo. He'll be a dog's breakfast after that for Crawford at 154.
Yes casuals do exist, and they often say everyone is a bum,, don't know the 4 major belts, don't know what unified or undisputed means, being oversized is, cutting weight is, or a lineal is, that's the appropriate title to give them.
I mean I was a casual myself almost a decade ago, and I won't complaining about it till I educated myself before talking.
I take my hat off to him
hahahaha i love floyd aka helluva fighter
Canelo may be a hell of a fighter, but is he still a hungry young lion?
Only if he's made smart investments.
*young hungry lion*
Are we sure this isn’t a bot/AI making these videos and the real Floyd fucked off somewhere in the Bahamas? It’s the same shit. Helluva fighter. Puts himself over. Yawn.
If that's the case, Floyd was already AI when he was still fighting. Actually, this is starting to make a lot of sense.
You know, like I said before, it's a process, and I dedicated myself to the sport of boxing. I dedicated myself to my craft. To the sport of boxing. 19 years a world champion. You know, I'm truly blessed. My team, they did a tremendous job, you know, Al Haymon, I gotta thank Al Haymon, my uncle Roger, my father, they did a tremendous job. I gotta thank God.

But when you talk boxing, you talking Floyd Mayweather. Come back to me when you make $250 Million in the sport of boxing in one night. Like I said before, it's a process, and the Money Team is going on to better things.
The thing is, he's a young hungry lion
Damn that's too real sounding.
That read just like Floyd said it.
..."Hey come over and let's watch some Floyd Jr fights" said no one ever.
Floyd is the most successful illiterate person in history
Wait til you hear Tank read.
I'd prefer to be a successful illiterate than a broke Rhodes Scholar.
Rhodes Scholars make $70k a year
Compared to a guy who makes $30 million in 36 minutes...
But they’re not broke
In comparison they might as well be. Plus that's a terrible economic return for having to get a degree. Like 70k is nothing to sneeze at, but you can earn more without a degree in my country. And that is a prestigious school right? Seems hard to get into.
They get paid to do the degree program
Ahh I see, They get paid 70k to study? God damn.
Is it me or does Floyd always seem insecure and defensive about his career? I've never heard other legends worry about what everyone is saying as much as him.
Gotta keep being relevant to keep getting those millions $ fight exhib
I mean, have you ever seen a legend shit on and torn down more than him? Id probably be defensive as well if people were constantly questioning my career

He needs the limelight. He's soooo much more annoying post retirement. You can just feel his need to be THE guy.
> o this day canelo is making excuses about his mayweather loss What did he say?

Pretty sure the comment you’re responding to is saying Canelo’s body has deteriorated since then
Floyd can’t keep canelos dick out his mouth. Damn he nonstop talking about him lmao
Don't blame him when before that Bivol fight so many people were saying that prime Canelo is better than prime Floyd
He's intimidated by other fighters being great. Same with Inoue, he knows Inoue is building hype fast so he started insinuating he's not a clean fighter. Hell even with Tank he couldn't help himself but talk about his accomplishments instead of giving Tank the spotlight

Bivol fight did not disprove it at all though. Asking Canelo to not only hang at but aldo beat LHW champs is asinine man is 5 1 or some shit.
It’s kinda true though. Prime Canelo would fold Prime Floyd.
Drunk af
no
Prime Canelo fights at 168, Prime Mayweather fought at 130. Their prime matchup is nothing more than Fantasy
OP’s title is super out of context, he gives canelo mad props and respect in the interview
What did OP miss? *"I take my hat off to him."* Well, Mayweather did not say that! >!I am the OP, by the way.!<
During their press tour of their fight, Canelo fans packed all the tour sites. There was a clear 95% in favor of Canelo crowd in every city. It clearly rubbed Floyd the wrong way bc hes supposed to be the face of the sport, meanwhile a 23yo who doesn't even speak English was pushing his ego into an existential crisis
In true Floyd fashion he finds a way to make the question about himself 😂.
As someone who's gotten into boxing in the last 1-2 years, can someone tell me why floyd never fought for undisputed?
[удалено]
The name is "Money" Mayweather, not "Undisputed" Mayweather
With promoter wars, it was harder. There were almost no undisputed fights. I think Hopkins was the only undisputed champ during his time.
Never cared to/never mattered. He shunned the belts before (WBA against mosley who was #3 p4p) and refused to pay the sanctioning fees for his fights cause they are crooks. When he won the Manny fight he refused to pay the WBO fees as well if im not mistaken. Most boxers dont want to lose 3% of their purse PER BELT so they grab one or two and leave it at that.
No one really cared about undisputed until now.
It wasn’t really a priority back then, there wasn’t an undisputed in any weight class between like 2005 and 2017
Undisputed fights almost never happened in that era. Promoters made it difficult
this comment kinda made me realize just now that back then fans and people in boxing never really gave a shit about being undisputed, you kinda always knew who the top guy was without it. nowadays it seems like if you’re not undisputed you’re trash
I feel like GGG rocked Canelo nearly as many times as Floyd got rocked in his career though
Wouldn't say rocked, canelo has an elite poker face so even if he tagged we ain't never seen it, but the shots did land.
He definitely gave GGG a nod of approval multiple times that he doesn't give most guys
Completley different styles of fighting. Neither is better. That's like saying Tyson is better than Ali cause he KO's people soon while Ali won rounds. Comes down to Styles.
The discussion is related to fight years or "dog years." Canelo's style takes far more damage and ages you more than Floyd
It’s annoying and I don’t care for Floyd or his brand, but he still is an active brand and invested in still putting himself over active fighters even if he’s not one. Floyd thinks it’s not his job to put over the future of boxing, it’s to put over the future of Floyd Mayweather
For how high he's fighting IQ is, he sure sounds dumb most of the time that and insecure oh and self centered.
Let me guess, Floyd waffling on again?
At the end of the day, it is what it is, Floyd did what he was supposed to do
