question is could The mayweatrehr phill shell be USED IN A BARE KNUCLE BOXING SITUATION THAT AND GEORGIE BENTON STYLE PHILLY SHELL MORE PARRY , I THINK IT COULD IF THE BOXER HAD MASSIVE STRONG FOREARMS
I seriously can't wrap my head around a boxer's main tools being the philly shell, body jabs and lead straights and calling that same fighter a coward lol. His style was extremely risky, the man was just good at keeping a poker face
It takes much more skills and brains to fight like Floyd did, than to be a brainless brawler.
They don't like how Mayweather is the one moving backwards and is still the one landing more punches 😂
He just made it look so safe.
You could argue its risky as the video suggests, but there's a reason he was called one of, if not the most capable defensive fighter of all time. The philly shell is a defensive stance, specifically how Floyd use it. Its the reason why its hard to hit Floyd. The philly shell makes him a smaller target and you just turn your lead arm to block or slip incoming punches. You forgot the video's disclaimer from the start. Its smart for the creator to argue and title the video as a "brave" style due to, as you mention, people calling Floyd a "coward". This way of presenting him would generate a lot of clicks and comments due to having discussions like what I'm doing right now.
@@justaway6901 true but yeah his style alone is "brave"
It's just him overall is just ok. He's not a coward but he's not the bravesf fighter of all time. He knows what fights he can win and chooses those fights
The pull counter ain't no joke. Obviously, you have to have attributes to pull it off, BUT you gots ta have balls. BIG balls.
One of the best Sunday punches!
You also gots ta have taken 1000 shots to the face practicing it in training over the years and calmly come back for the 1001st.
@@DavidByrne85 Not really it’s the timing of it. Do it like this, left hand is one, and right hand is two so if the opponent swings with his left that one and if he swings with his right that’s two like do it mentally in your head. So with either hand you will mentally know to switch and counter the opponents punches with the opposite hand. That’s what boxers do i figured it out.
@@HeLIEl what a shit explanation that was. Nice
@@HeLIEl He is right bruh! Repetition matters.
Also the Philly shell defence that Mayweather used is a very risky defence, so that also adds to the braveness of Mayweather. It relies heavily on quick reflexes, and if you lack those, then you get caught. That's why you see many boxers today that try to copy that Philly shell defence get hurt, because they either lack countles hours of practise with it or lack reflexes. Floyd has been practicing boxing before he could even walk, so you know he knows the game very well and has practised everything over and over again. A true defensive master of boxing
@@tgF321jikko Yup
So if this is the case, why does he criticize 1960s Ali style of dancing and circle and retreat out of harms way while landing punches at will and dodging almost if not every punch thrown at him all at the same time while not having his gaurd up.
@Rahim he said that Ali was taking too much punishment, which is true
@@charmcompassion9199 in 1970s yeah
@@charmcompassion9199 when you guys talk shit about ali y’all always bring up the 1970s version rather than the Cassius clay version
All I’m hearing is that mayweather was basically shot for shot sparring with most of his opponents, working on his game even on fight night
Mayweather said he never watched film of his opponents, preferring to figure them out in the ring instead
That's incredible and also a sign of supreme confidence and ability.
Doing your homework whilst actually in the ring. Mentally taking notes and adjusting the gameplan on the fly.
Spectacular.
@@sabbathjackal he had a great team he never watched but u know rodger and Ellerbe watch film heavy gave him a strategy and than he adjusted from there that man was amazing at what he did and people said he was boring because of how he made their favorites look pedestrian
@@fatboymagic7041 Yes he did and he basically grew up in a ring and it shows
G.O.A.T shit🔥
Man I really appreciate this insight, I was in the camp that wrote off Money's matches as boring.. but thanks to you, and youtube, I can at least retroactively appreciate and enjoy Mayweather's catalogs of bouts with a renewed perspective.. sincerely, thank you..
I recommend you rewatch bro it’s really enjoyable when you recognize all of the really high level stuff going on. It’s honestly one of my favorite fights for that reason
Ah, so you went from the ignorant casual mindset, to realizing boxing *isnt* a rocky movie and being punched is a bad thing? Pretty sad it took a youtube video for you to ditch the ignorant casual mindset....
These are fights early in his career. He was exciting, that's when they wanted the may and pacman fight.
But it never happened then floyd switched up his style a lot
Glad you came to your senses. It's a lot of you out there who don't know shit about boxing
Yeah me too. In hindsight he’s one of the most skilled ever.
A master of defense and distance. I practiced boxing for 3 years and just had an elementary understanding of distance. I put Mayweather understanding of distance of a doctor. Master of his craft
I like how you tell the story. Straight from the start without an intro and everytime adding on and on and then I realize the video is almost over haha
Floyd once stated that he never watched tape on opponents- I used to scoff that that, thinking it was a lie, but looking back, I think it was absolutely true. I've never in my life seen anyone make mid-fight adjustments like Floyd. He would happily give away early rounds to download the opponent in mid-fight, and they'd be figured out by the 5th.
Sort of like an old school boxer who would make adjustments in fight every round but he did it every second. What a spectacular boxer breakdown. More respect for mayweather now.
Another one of your crafty works David. I enjoy the breakdowns and explaining techniques. Can you do Hagler vs Duran or Mayweather vs Castillo rematches?
Rematch? why not the first fight?
@@can-ws8hn Yes first the one, some ppl said Floyd lost, in my opinión is posible that he lost
Or Oscar Dela Hoya Lol 😆
Yo thanks so much for the floyd mayweather videos. I've studied and practice moves from your floyd mayweather defensive breakdown
Studied boxers for decades. Floyds defense is nearly impenetrable. You need speed, confusing combinations, a great chin, and balls with a great game plan to compete against him.
Then you need more studying, bad.Floyd was taught the Philly shell defense which has been penetrated by many fighters.Hagler made it a point to fight the Philly fighters and beat them down to the point of the gym not wanting to fight him anymore. Floyd is a runner who arguably lost multiple fights.His dad and uncles tried to teach him, but you can't teach heart.Floyd IS the most overrated fighter of all time...Castillo, Maidina,Pacquiao,they all landed as they pleased.
@@tee-roni420 no one cares bud.
We don't really get to know if he has a great chin because he rarely gets caught clean in the chin.
@@tee-roni420 What no. That's delusional. I'm a Pacquiao fan but I know how much he struggled landing effective shots on Floyd. To the point that he have to be creative just to land some of those shots. And he did not landed them when Floyd's philly is up. One of the two shots that caught Floyd was an overhand shot which surprised even Floyd because he did not expect Pacman to punch while facing down. Floyd was pivoting to exit during that point but he got caught anyways. The most effective one was a counter punch. And Pacquiao has to really up his speed this time because of the tiny time frame that Floyd is open. He parried Floyd's shot and before he could move back, Pacquiao quickly launches his killer left, which hit Floyd to the point of him shelling up with his back against the ropes. And yeah Floyd is basically striding when backing out of range because Pacquiao was also doubling his reach by dive bombing Floyd with his punches. Hence the infamous "run" tactic.
@Justaway im saying you need a chin not Mayweather
He kept his eyes open all the time... Bravestt
I always loved how he threw off that lead right hand, it truly is a thing of beauty!! What a wicked channel this is!!
I'm mostly into MMA and combat Sambo but man i love your work.
Mayweathers ability to switch up his strategy mid fight is unrivaled, boxers take weeks forming a strategy for an opponent, Wayweather was doing it real time.
Master of adjustment 🥶
on point as usual, jeez, ha, and you mix it up with fighters I need to learn about, kickboxers, mma. Thanks for this special treat
young david, another masterful production of the strategical-sweet-science. i truly enjoy your detailed-breakdowns and laymen explantions. mad respect to you.
Thank you, appreciate the kind words!
I miss Floyd fights a lot, miss looking forward to watching his mastery. Tough to realize that reign is over, but how sweet it was!
This was a great break down and imo Mayweather was one of the greatest tactical fighters inside and out of the ring
I have learnt a lot from you david you a best teacher, I have watched ur chanal nearly 3 years, and my boxing is really getting much much better, thanks for ur time Boss , love and respect 🙏🏽
The best breakdown channel on UA-cam easily.
I love these types of breakdowns keep up the great work. May was seriously mentally dominating his opponents love him or hate that dude was special I'm glad to see it live
GREAT BREAKDOWN💯1 OF MY FAVE VIDS FROM U‼️😮💨
HE WAS A MASTER OF DISTANCE AND CLINCHING AND THEN HIS MOST STRONG WEAPON WAS HIS STAMINA AND SPEED
Clinching is ILLEGAL
@@RyshelHolguin-jl1dl no it’s not lol
Talked a lot about Floyd over the years to people when boxing comes up. Even thought I don't consider him the goat (not even close) never considered him a coward, especially when I learned about his fragile bones in his hands. Still had the sheer audacity to absolutely BANG on dudes that he had used his defense to shut down
Who do you think is the greatest?
@@sentientnutsack5197 Haggler is my personal pick for the Goat, arguments can be made for Ray Robinson (one that I absolutely have no disagreements with), Ali, Jones Jr, Joe Lewis, hell I can even make an argument for old George Foreman. Skill isn't the only factor in greatness
@@Dragonslayer-cz5rb and u know what ironic about that list all of them lost lmfao and he beat more world Champs then any of them
@@reginaldaustin8017 ahhh but losses help define a legacy of greatness. All of these fighters fought top tier competition in their primes, sometimes when they themself were out of their own prime. A perfect squeaky clean no loss record with stipulations allll over the mfer in my opinion is much less impressive than a record with some losses but that can't be spoken illy on. Floyd is notorious for a number of underhanded dealings outside the ring that affected what happens inside it (still the greatest defensive boxer ever imo no question about it) whereas the fighters ive listed here and others I missed like Rocky Marciano had careers that no one can cast shadows on. Losses included. Skill and greatness are different things
@@Dragonslayer-cz5rb you have Rocky over Floyd?
This is insane. The good kind, in case that wasn't clear.
Incredible fighter. Also, I wish this camera quality (with all the highly detailed slow motion) was available for Ali, Foreman and those guys.
Been waiting for this video for a long time
In every video a great lesson to be learned, or a few. Thanks for your uploads as always
I think a big part of floyds success is the opponents acknowledgement of floyds skills. For instance, berto described floyd as very observant with great timing so he was reluctant to throw barrages to avoid floyds counter.
BEAUTIFUL breakdown video, I love your work, u are appreciated sir
I’ve been waiting for this vid🔥
Quite a BRAVE point of view! Thank you for the video :)
This video reminds me of a gif of mayweather vs McGregor where mayweather’s understanding of distance was so perfect that Conor’s jab brushed his nose and floyd didn’t even attempt to slip.
That's quite interesting! Conor himself had excellent understanding of distance. He did basically the same to Eddie Alvarez in their fight. For Mayweather to do that to him, even if Conor has been on a steady decline, is impressive.
@@Demonstormlord the thing is that when Mayweather fought connor, he *wasnt* in his decline. He was still considered the top guy in UFC.
@@JackTheripper911 yeah. That was peak Conor. After that fight, he didn't fight anyone for like a whole year and a half and then fought Khabib
Distance is one of Conor's best weapons so Mayweather just shrugging it off like it's a joke was badass, regardless of whether you think Conor sucks
It's nice to know that this channel appreciates actual boxing.
Most people don't understand any nuances at all and just want carnage.
Wow great analysis you might have added a valuable piece to unlocking his genius 👏🏼
By far the best highlights of Mayweather's legendary skills, great selection thx 4 video
Amazing 🔥 great take!
Very good, unbiased breakdown. I don't see running away, what I see is moving back to setup counters or traps and backing off to reset. Kinda like when playing a video game like Elden Ring or Monster Hunter World. You don't just attack the bosses head on, you need to move away most of the time to change tactics or lure them to a trap. Running away would mean never coming back to attack the opponent. And the shoulder roll stance is always risky for lesser skilled boxers. Look at Broner and Berto doing the technique, they get tagged easily because they're not on the same level and do not have the reflexes like Floyd does.
Good point with the video game analogy
Hope you’re doing okay now, bro. Great video. Looking forward to more!
Great analysis as always.
He certainly wasn't brave when he was beating women.
Tbh, that brain damage does things to people, Sugar Ray Robinson, Leonard, Hagler, or Tank also don’t have good reputations around women
if we start bringing up the personal failings of some these noxers you'll be surprised how that the majority of terrible people
Damn seen this fight 💯 X's and didn't see it how you broke it down and I'm not a casual stay blessed stay safe 💯💪🏾 keep posting your work
Great video!!!
Great breakdown video & commentary.
That pull counter is a thing of beauty
I really like watching your videos on Mayweather I feel like there's a lot to analyze with the way that he fought
Thank you for this video.
Nice video.
It feels like anyone fighting Mayweather needed 5+ separate strategies in their pocket going into the bout, _and_ they needed to chop and change to avoid getting countered. It's almost like the worst thing you could do was spend your most effective techniques/combos on him repeatedly, as he downloaded, analysed and overcame his opponents' best weapons inside a round or two, then nullified them.
It's extremely impressive that fighters and their coaches prepared a full game plan going in, and have countless hours in the gym to drill it, and Mayweather was able to basically turn it against them on the hoof. I've seen so many clips of him losing the first couple of rounds and then absolutely dismantling his opponent for the rest of the bout to the point where he makes them look like amateurs. One round his opponents are a few points up and landing telling shots and the next, he flips a switch and they can't really touch him. That's crazy and extremely demoralising to fight against.
To put it this in context, there are countless rematch fights where boxers have several months to go away, figure out why they lost the first bout, make adjustments and still don't come close to winning the second fight. FMJ was able to master this process inside a few _rounds_, all while someone was trying to punch him in the face repeatedly.
Love him or loath him, the man's a genius.
Thank you. I always look forward to your posts.
Great video, it's great to see people talking great about Floyd. Especially American Boxing fans. MMA world loves Floyd skillet, the UK boxing fans love the man. He's my 2nd favorite fighter
Thanks! :) nice one!
People who complain about Mayweather ducking have no clue. Was he more selective in his fights when he was in his late 30's? Sure. That's because he was in his *late 30's*. Where is it writen that he's got to accept every matchup that's offered? Floyd didn't run the sanctioning bodies, he doesn't choose who the mandatory challengers were.
Rocky Marciano retired at age 32. Floyd was fighting his third bout against Maidana at age 37, when his opponent was 31. He beat aged 23 Canelo when he was he was 36, what fuck do you want? Sure, his fight against Paquiao waited a long time, it wasn't up to him to make Manny a mandatory challenger for his belts. And how do you put together the math that Pacquiao fighting an older Mayweather at age 36 is a *disadvantage* to the younger man?
I never understood why people criticize Mayweather for fighting Canelo when Canelo was 23. Mayweather was old yet still won every round. Also remember that Oscar de la Hoya beat tf out of Chavez, Oscar was at a similar age to Canelo and destroyed 33 year old Chavez.
@@eriksturdevant8589 That has nothing to do with his record in the ring.
@@eriksturdevant8589 you reveal your true reason for not liking him. Personal lives are irrelevant.
if he fought pacquiao too early, the money won't flow. fighting underdogs of the person you beat won't generate anything. fanning the flames of a mega fight is the way to go. in the end of the day it was business. if pacquiao was retiring the narrative would be different.
Ayyyy yeah that body cross segment got me krunk , ima practice that 😄
this video nailed it...I don't think anybody could have said it better
This is the best analysis I’ve seen in a Floyd style
Master of distance timing anticipation and he was always in top shape
can you please make a breakdown on mayweather vs pac?
greatest tactician in boxing . his everything is pure science, his the best ability is reading opponents
Nice video, when style breakdown on Carlos Monzón drops ?
Actually, every top boxers brave enough. And he didn't pass some kind of stress test like Duglas vs Tyson who scared that time everyone. Duglas was brave those days even compare with others top boxers
Lol not only is your comment entirely pointless, your dumbass spelled *Douglas* wrong multiple times 😂.
Thank you for this video because it specifically analyzes what Floyd Jr was doing in the ring. A lot of people don't appreciate that. Mayweather Jr is a Master Boxer.
Beautiful video
Good video, we need to understand before talk
uh oh casuals wont like this 😂😂😂
I love the corner! ❤ It's not unsafe unless you're scared🤷🏿♂️
Question 🤔 did you yourself have much experience boxing? Or what is it that enables you to see the art so deeply analytically and in such depth detail? I have a certain sport of my own where I'm similarly very analytical of more so than anyone I've ever known of the hundreds of people who I've met and seen competed in the sport.
The poster (Modern Martial Artist) has experience in multiple martial arts and has written a couple books as well.
Floyd never went to the true corner. He’d always post up one or two steps from the corner to give himself an out on both sides. That’s composure and mastering every inch of the squared circle
I've said he had more power than h gets credit for. His skills, mobility, and ring IQ had to have fighters second guessing the entire match. And those few times he did let his hands go were that much more memorable because of the rarity.
Watch his young fights. He was all power and unmatched speed.
Andre Ward described it perfectly to me, as just enough to know you fucked up and lost the exchange, 3 rounds of losing on the sheet as hard as you do to Floyd is enough to break anyone
Technical brilliance 🥊🥊
You did a great job!!!
Great assessment
I’ve been asking for the music you use for years now PLEASE HELP US ALL MANNN
There's a playlist of all the UA-cam songs if you go to the playlists section of this channel. I'll update it with the new music eventually too.
Thanks for the break down. Unfortunately, some will not get it and some will pretend not to.
With fighters that don't come across as likeable characters,, its always easier to appreciate their techniques in retrospect..
His mastery of the fundamentals allowed to box the way he did😤😤😤😤
Floyd prob got OCD.
When he gets hit he gotta do the same thing untill he doesn't get hit 😂😂
hahaha
whats the name of the song at the end of the video?
The Kobe of Boxing, not only in skill but mentality
best martial arts channel
Don't forget all his fouling he did. Clinching, forearms, elbows, open glove pushes, holding back of neck, smothering Maidana mouth
Maidana one of dirtiest out there 😅
"All Floyd did was run" - Some Random Casual
Finally!!! Someone that knows something about boxing!! Thank you Modern Martial Artist for being a student of the sweet science and not like theses casual ass fans that don't know anything about boxing!
4:40 or so. Especially crazy he kept routinely ducking down to throw effectively a useless shot when zab Judah was known for his rear uppercut absolutely unreal 💀
He did the same thing to Marquez who is also known for his brutal upper cuts
Absolutely ballsy
That's how good his timing was
In other words he was a perfectionist. Always taking the opportunity to improve including being in the ring and fighting his opponent in an official match.
This reminded me of how good zab Judah did against MW.
Only half way through the video and this must be the best evaluation of floyd I've seen
You need to check out Wilson Kayden's breakdowns!
Kept thinking about Bernard Hopkins.
Hey David,
Are there any ideas you have on the topic of how to beat Mayweather?
Can’t. He’ll only fight you if he has an advantage over you.
Maidana and Castillo were close. I think fighters like Durán, Leonard,and Hearns woudlve given Floyd hell
This guy is a genuis
Excellent video. And what a title to attract salty Floyd haters! 😂
Talented is the word
From the Gatti fight onwards he became a much more fun fighter to watch.
Can you make a breakdown of young floyd the pretty boy floyd
Yea when he was in the Olympics
Floyd was always asking his opponents to seek and destroy rather than him seeking THEM!
lie. watch his whole career then come back
Those guys who says that he's always running. Just watch his fights against Corrales, Gatti, Marquez, Cotto, Mosley. And you'll see
He doesn’t run, that’s just a code word they like to use for “stand still so I can hit you “ . Floyd literally stood in front of Canelo , and even laid on the ropes when he didn’t have to, and made Canelo miss over and over while countering . Best of his era
@@boxingoffice2766Exactly.
I've honestly never understood the critiques of Money. If you have ever watched him inside fighting you know that he's better at that than anyone else too. He would often prove this at certain points of his bouts.
He was a spectacular puncher before the bones in his hands turned into glass. Pretty Boy was a ferocious predator. He changed his style out of necessity. When his hands were sound he was just as vicious as Duran or Tyson
