The fact that Smith speaks so harshly about Holyfield and so dismissively about Foreman (two of the most nicest HW champions of all time) and yet is so willing to defend Floyd really says a lot about him...
Smith made a very good example when he compared holyfield vs tyson to may vs PAC. PAC doesn't know how to go in survival mode like Tyson. So they don't know what to do when they do get hurt. When Stephen said that u can see holyfield agreeing with him. Now evander backpedals and says he doesn't know whose going to win even though he already chose pacquaio to win. Now holyfield is unsure cuz he doubted Floyd for awhile.
Brian Sanichar That was another biased and ignorant statement. It makes it hard to listen to Floyd fans. I'm a fan of Mayweather, but to hear Stephen and others speak annoys me. Everyone seems to have totally forgotten everything about Manny. He has been buckled and hurt before, and he has excellent footwork and the ability to move and counter going backwards. Go back even to the Barrera fight, and you'll see a younger, less skilled Manny showing he has defensive footwork. Just because of all the KO talk, you've all forgotten.
jokatech oh OK I agree with you about Manny. He's more versatile than people assume. Manny does have defensive abilities popping in and out hitting from angles. But Manny is left open a lot when he undermines his opponent and throws too many punches at times being on the offensive, mostly leaving him open. Now pacquiao says that he was more worried about other fighters he faced before than floyd. So what does that mean? Is he going to be relentlessly offensive and leave himself open to right hooks and straight rights cuz he doesn't think Floyd has power? Freddie has been re-training Manny to adapt to Floyd's shoulder roll and techniques. But then again manny says he hopes Floyd will want to fight toe to toe. So will Floyd bait Manny into thinking that and catch him numerous times. I'm not being biased or delusional. When pacquiao fights more technical fighters he has to be more careful and that usually frustrates him during the course of the fight. Floyd is the king of doing that to fighters. Manny has a very good chance to pummel Floyd with punches but Floyd also has a very good chance of baiting him into that and capitalizing. I am educated on both fighters and I'm stating my opinion that Floyd will beat Manny on the scorecards.
I don't see this being a distance fight. Floyd wants and needs the KO. What I liked about Manny, is that although he can box, he doesn't hang his hat on his ability. He and Roach spent the last 2 weeks of camp working on strategy and counter techniques further after doing that during the whole camp. I think the reason Manny isn't worried where Floyd takes it, is because he is conditioned and trained to counter whatever trick he has in store. Floyd senses that as well. That's why with all of the superior skill and mind talk- you see him chopping wood and trying to hulk up for the KO, because he doesn't want this one to go the distance. If it does, Manny has the arsenal to take it. This is going to likely by a Mayweather win by KO in 10 or less, or a possible Manny SD.
Man there is just too much speculation on this right. You have some good valid points. We just have to see who has the better game plan. They're going to be more sharp than we've seen them in years. First three rounds are going to sensational and exhilarating.
Man, it's not about Floyd's personality or any or that bullshit. It's what always happens in all walks of life. People always love and upping coming new star, but always get tired if it stays the same. It's always about building people up to tear them down, that's why people are obsessed with "The next big thing". This isn't nothing new.
Evander had a point at the end, with size is not the factor if you have skill. Haye beat that giant Russian dude, who could of been a wrestler instead of a boxer. Tyson have beaten giants as well. I've seen MMA fighters prevail over the size factor a few times. One fight that comes to mind is When Bob Sapp fought that Brazilian fighter who weigh close to 200 lbs less than he did. The Brazilian was skilled enough to submit Sapp, after a tough battle.
Stephen, it was Hagler who wanted the rematch with Leonard. When Leonard did not immediately grant a rematch, Hagler retired. Do not make it seem like Hagler felt that they gave Leonard the decision & he walked away upset. No! He requested a rematch, Leonard did not respond in a timely fashion (in Hagler's mind), so he walked away from the sport of boxing without looking back to a chance of reentering the boxing ring.
*****, Stephen is acting like Hagler lost, became upset & retired. It was a close fight, Hagler wanted a direct rematch & Leonard played his waiting game. Stephen stated that if Floyd Jr. wins in the eyes of the public & the judges give it to Manny---we may see Floyd Jr. walking away from the sport of boxing. If such a situation does happen, I think that Floyd Jr. would want a rematch. He granted one to Marcos, because some of the public along with himself thought that it was a close fight. Yet, I doubt that the huge money in a rematch with Manny, as well as a chance to win is too big of an option for him to walk away. Now, if Manny does not grant a rematch, then perhaps, his Hagler to Floyd Jr. comparison would be worthy of a contrast.
David Rice, Marvin Hagler entire boxing career was based in the middleweight division, why should he move up to light heavyweight to challenge someone, because they want him to move up? The opposition that did advance up in weight to box Hagler, they wanted to move up in weight. If Hagler had dropped down or moved up in weight, you would have a very solid point. But maybe the man wanted to be a middleweight for his entire boxing career. What is wrong with that? Perhaps the answer was right there, hey I am a middleweight for now until I retire.
David Rice, the thing about Sugar Ray Leonard & Roy Jones Jr. is that they did the weight-class traveling. We can not speculate why Marvin stayed at middleweight his entire career. Yes, he might have stayed silent at your question, because he could have looked at the question in so many ways that I would end up speculating about the way he could have answered you. Silence is not always an agreement, at times silence is just silence. Bernard Hopkins waited at the middleweight division for several big fights; especially the Oscar fight. I am old-school when it comes to the weight topic. Actually, I enjoy seeing a boxer stay in their weight-class & making it a legacy. Antonio knew that Roy would have issues with speed & muscle building right after Roy did that remarkable step up into heavyweight. This is why Antonio put that pressure on Roy, & I am not making any excuses for Antonio playing the game to get Roy into the ring, but if Roy had stayed at the weight when was so successful during his prime or awaited Antonio to come down or meet him at a catch-weight, the outcomes might have been different in their bouts. I do not even like catch-weight boxing matches, it is too dangerous, just like the weight traveling. But there is an imbalance in boxing right now, where money is dangled in a weight-class before talent & these boxers will risk muscle, weight, & speed in order to meet a new weight-class.
No one ever says "Everything was given to me" or "I got lucky"... EVERYONE says "I worked hard to get what I have" . However, theres many different levels of that.
don't forget pac last 2 opponents where undefeated and beat them easily. Both had champion belts. One was in the top 3 p4p list (Bradley) who Floyd is ducking instead of fighting a welterweight champion Bradley Floyd fights twice Mediana who already lost to Khan.
editha pac i know right , and bum gayweather jr got his ass beaten bloodey and knocked down and oon top of that couldent even beat slowass maidana (who has stamina issues!!) without robbery!! gayweather fucking sucks!!!
editha pac DUDE ANY BOXER COULD GET KNOCKED OUT IF YOUR SAYING FLOYED COULD LOSE TO BRADLEY IN THAT MANNER THATS ON EVERY BOXER ,BUT TO SAY BRADLEYS IN THE SAME CLASS HAS FLOYD IS A LITTLE TOO MUCH WHO WOULD YOU FIGHT FOR THE MONEY CANELO OR BRADLEY I MEAN WHO KHANN OR PACMAM ITS EASY RIGHT NOW I TURN YOU INTO A BUSINESS MEN NOW YOUR THINKING LIKE THE MONEY TEAM
Stephen A arguing with Evander about the no limit on heavyweights made Stephen A look stupid. Not only is Evander an actual boxer and a heavyweight legend, but he also made logical arguments.
I don’t know why that disrespectful guy kept interrupting The Real Deal Holyfield! After all, his name wasn’t enlarged on the set piece, and no one cares or tuned in to see him.
It's tough the bigger vs smaller heavyweights debate unless you can land heavy shots that weight doesn't really help over a long fight and also many big guys are clumsy due to their body shape there is many exceptions tho
I agree with the heavyweight talk, if the rest of the divisions all come in around the same weight, (it's even in the contracts) then I think the heavyweights should have to also. If Klitschko comes in at 240, his opponent has to come in around 240 as well. It should be fair. I understand there are tons of guys that are like 200 pounds that can beat a person at 240, but just does not add up to me. Does not seem fair.
Nobody is arguing with any of these boxers that they both earned it. Manny and Floyd alike did not receive any handouts in their life. But why people dislike Floyd so much is not his talent, or the amount of money he's got. It's his character
So Stephen A is a D*** rider because he is a fan of Floyd and everyone of Manny fans such as Skip Bayless (who I like very much don't get the same status. Haven't seen one comment about that. Shows you how far Floyds haters go. He a fan, get over it. I don't hear none of you saying the same to Manny fans. Geez, stop hating for once.
Donald Thomas It's pretty simple really. It's classic good vs. evil. On one hand you have Manny Pacquiao who is a model husband and father, a religious man, and an actual upstanding politician that helps the poor in his homeland; who would of thought those existed but if it would be anyone, of course it would be Manny. Then you have Floyd Mayweather Jr. The man is constantly trash talking, is easily the most conceited person on the Earth today, and last, but certainly not least, he also beats women. I hope this helped you see why people hate, nay, despise Mayweather and those that hug onto his nutsack. It's like choosing between God and the Devil. Pretty simple, right?
Nope it's not simple, because like always you only name the good stuff about manny. He not such a model citizen. fighting animals (remember everyone hated Vick for that), cheating on his wife, sleeping with hookers. And you hate someone because the flash something they earned themself and has zero influence on your life? Give gives back. He just don't flash it like manny do. Nope not very simple. And you still didn't answer my question. Why is being a fan of Mayweather "D***riding, but it's not if you a manny fan. I'm guessing manny's wrongs are less wrong then Floyds.
Donald Thomas It's not that simple because you clearly have bias. I wrote my comment in an extremely dramatic fashion in such a way it couldn't possibly be misunderstood. But still you twisted it because of your own personal bias. How about this: Satan controls people to murder other people, while Jesus lets children starve in Africa. Who do you despise more? Don't try to explain it to me, I already understand it, you're the one asking the question. It's a timeless scenario.
I'm not bias, I didn't say Floyd antics are ok. I don't judge him no more than I judge manny for his past antics. I diss like both. All I care about is Floyds ability to box. That's it. People hate him because of his antics and then like manny and ignore his antics. BOTH are bad but because one is out spoken and the other is "humble" one gets hated more than the other. How is that being bias?
Smith is funny in the end. Very entertaining just like watching Pacquiao I noticed 3 favor for Pacquiao win, and Smith had no choice but to kiss up for Floyd. Funny
zigzaggered are you boxer? cause I'm sure people like Manny Pacquiao don't fight for the money he doesn't see it as a job its his passion its what saved his life from poverty. Also, being hurt means nothing in boxing thats all you're doing is getting hurt lol theyre just punching each other the whole time people appreciate a fucking brawl thats what people want to see. And also his statement may only refer to him because boxers get hurt all the time but are still considered champions.
assy mcgee Don't tell me its his passion, you obviously dont know what youre talking about. Boxing is only a job for Manny, how do I know this? Because he NEVER goes into the boxing gym unless he has a fight coming up. This is a fact, and Manny has mentioned this so many times. Floyd also thinks of it as a job, but the difference is, he still goes to the gym regularly. Manny just wanted the money, that is why he went to this fight with 1 arm (as he claims) or Floyd beat him up so bad that hes just making excuses that he had 1 arm. No one is so stupid to fight the Pound-for-Pound chamption with 1 arm, and leave as a winner is a joke. Manny mentioned pre-fight that he was 100%, you tell me that you're 100% when youre asking for a shoudler injection on the same day.
Pacquiao has a survival mode, its unleashing fists in his opponents face, if Floyd can withstand that, then thats how hes gonna win, but that is a really big IF.
I remember Ronda Rousy embarrassed Stephen quote " from someone who fights" Stephen A Smith did not put any gloves or fought any boxing or mma. Where on earth his credibility regarding of his idea about boxing. A pure emotional fanatic.
Holyfield is telling the truth, the art of boxing is gone. I saw two guys in a boxing match last week and I was saddened to see what the sport has become. Two people with their feet squared, no balance, chins up and swinging for dear life. The Alexis Arguello types are forever gone. Hopkins and Mayweather are the last.
For a guy that use to believe in God (me), i totally agree with Floyd, everyone is entitled to their opinions. He has his own belief system just like people who believe in religion have been taught theirs.
This is what people like Steven A doesn't understand. Most people do not hate Floyd for his hard work, what he earned, and what he accomplished in the sport of boxing. He is hated because he hasn't won the hearts of the people. He doesn't help out his community or the black community in that matter with the wealth he earned, not to mention his comment claiming he was better than Ali. His not a good role model for kids he beat his ex wife and denied it even though he plead guilty. Hell if you don't believe that look at Adrian Bronor. Is because of these things we he is hated. Floyd is an awesome boxer and proved he is the best of this era on May 2nd but because of those things it is why he was booed after he won and the loser received an encore. The people don't care nor want him anymore in the world of boxing.
watch K1 fighting theres no weight limit and the smaller fighters beat the bigger fighters regularly. I saw a 300lb lost to a 165lb. Mighty Mo loss to a thai fighter forgot his name. There is a sumo wrestler that's 400lbs that usually always loss to the smaller fighter. Holyfield has a point if your faster and quicker more skillful then your opponent size wont matter.
Steven A should, watch again: Morales/Pac1, Marq/Pac 1/2/3, Pac/Cotto, Pac/Margarito, Each of those fights he had to endure. He fought from the ropes. He survived. So all due respect to Floyd, you might just dominate Pac, but the hearts of the people still flow with the underdog. I can't root for a man who abuses and hits women. Character. No resentments towards his acomplishments he's a superb boxer.
Hagler begged Leonard for a rematch. He til this day holds it against him because Leonard denied him that opportunity. Hagler only retired because he couldn't get that rematch. Stephen A needs to quit using that as reason to remind the judges to give Floyd the decision if it's close. He's making that shit up. 've seen countless interviews of Hagler saying Leonard should have given him the rematch.
lets not compare hagler to mayweather, hagler was not respected by many people for a long time, mayweather by boxing people not nuts has been known since he was young he was the next big thing, yea it took him a few years to get ppv numbers up but hes been on top for a long time,
I think Holyfield was too mired in personal bias toward Manny to give a coherent assessment in this debate. He's is also to simpleminded and too cohered into this religious mumbo jumbo, to give logical prognostication and discernment of the skill set level of the two fighters to call the fight.
i dont fall for that slave crap! I am an American i live in today not crap that happened hundreds of years ago... this is my country if you feel so wronged by it you can leave...
Floyd keeps saying that everybody is in title to their own opinion but he always get defensive when someone calls him out. Floyd can't get but hurt and then say it doesn't bother you.
Man, Smith is the biggest rider ever, even though Mayweather insulted him and told him he doesnt know shit about boxing, he still riding hard. Damn this guy definitely swallows. Evander knows that this fight should be competive but yet Smith doesnt want to hear it.
Unless pac gets a ko, mayweathers gonna win cause he fights like a bitch. He doesnt box he fights to score points based on how the system works. people say that makes him great, no that means hes great at using the system and delaying for 12 rounds it doesnt mean hes actually a good fighter.
I was always told always look out for number 1, cause folks don't like, love, or care about you if you can't or aint doing what they want. Floyd know him and his fam must come first. In the end we will all move on to the next star, and it is what he does and makes now that will carry them. Remember boxing has no union and its the last sport to be ran this way. Boxers retire and use all the winnings on medical bills.
![Stephen A. Smith sits down with Floyd Mayweather 1-on-1 [FULL] | ESPN](/img/n.gif)
The fact that Smith speaks so harshly about Holyfield and so dismissively about Foreman (two of the most nicest HW champions of all time) and yet is so willing to defend Floyd really says a lot about him...
This Man Speaks The Truth.....People Will Hate You For Loving Yourself.....He's In A Sport....Thats How He Makes His Living.....
In that Casino at the start, Mayweather sounds like a character from GTA that you have to take down!
So true, can't stop laughing...
I feel in love with Floyd after this interview. He has a good head on his shoulders. A champion from the heart!
Maybe you guys didn't catch stephen A backing holyfield up when he kept getting lost in explaining his thoughts. I caught it and respect it
Floyd knows the game and knows how to play it. Haters will make excuses to hate no matter what.
Smith made a very good example when he compared holyfield vs tyson to may vs PAC. PAC doesn't know how to go in survival mode like Tyson. So they don't know what to do when they do get hurt. When Stephen said that u can see holyfield agreeing with him. Now evander backpedals and says he doesn't know whose going to win even though he already chose pacquaio to win. Now holyfield is unsure cuz he doubted Floyd for awhile.

Floyd usually changes up from the Philly shell against south paws so yea he will be more offensive as well.
Mayweather hands down the best boxer showed up pacman in the defensive game.
A philipan defended floyd wow

zigzaggered I can't blame Tyson. People keep asking him about it so he answers.
Holyfield is probably the most humble african american I have ever see. His mom must of teach him really well.
what does your comment mean?? you sound stupid!!!

good job evander a nice bloke cos that guy deserved a clip
Manny's been through wars. He knows how to survive.
Its hard to listen to Smith. Holyfield Knows Boxing
Can we all agree that there's only one God, he/she/its name doesn't matter because we all praise him in every different ways.
Den V. I was talking to people who are arguing what name their God was, etc.
Den V. you should
PowerUpBoxing Completely agree.
Because its called the power of choice you can believe in what you want I have the right to believe what I believe in
Poor Holyfield, he's trying to get his point across but Stephen is too busy shouting about Mayweather.
Evander had a point at the end, with size is not the factor if you have skill. Haye beat that giant Russian dude, who could of been a wrestler instead of a boxer. Tyson have beaten giants as well. I've seen MMA fighters prevail over the size factor a few times. One fight that comes to mind is When Bob Sapp fought that Brazilian fighter who weigh close to 200 lbs less than he did. The Brazilian was skilled enough to submit Sapp, after a tough battle.

"Everyone is entitled to their own opinion." Was I the only one who found that LOL.
An EXTREMELY TELLING segment... But I will say this, Floyd has been much quieter this fight... Pacquiao is INDEED ON HIS MIND!!!
good job evander is a nice guy cos the bloke was asking for a clip!
No one ever says "Everything was given to me" or "I got lucky"... EVERYONE says "I worked hard to get what I have" . However, theres many different levels of that.
Lmbo...Steven A Smith had me rolling on the debate and how he kept looking at Evander on the side of his face. I was so tickled..lmbo
don't forget pac last 2 opponents where undefeated and beat them easily. Both had champion belts. One was in the top 3 p4p list (Bradley) who Floyd is ducking instead of fighting a welterweight champion Bradley Floyd fights twice Mediana who already lost to Khan.

i think algieri beats maidana
Stephen A arguing with Evander about the no limit on heavyweights made Stephen A look stupid. Not only is Evander an actual boxer and a heavyweight legend, but he also made logical arguments.
STEVEN A SMITH IS BOXING!
He want everyone in the world to acknowledge how hard he worked to get where he is when he won't acknowledge Ali for the work he put in?
Not even joking . . Floyd should start a marketing campaign called "everyone is entitled to their own opinion."
I don’t know why that disrespectful guy kept interrupting The Real Deal Holyfield! After all, his name wasn’t enlarged on the set piece, and no one cares or tuned in to see him.
Holyfield really sounds like he never finished kindergarten
That's fucked up!!!!
Nah he's just southern country boy.
It's tough the bigger vs smaller heavyweights debate unless you can land heavy shots that weight doesn't really help over a long fight and also many big guys are clumsy due to their body shape there is many exceptions tho
Stephen A....maintain your composure when talking to the legends
I agree with the heavyweight talk, if the rest of the divisions all come in around the same weight, (it's even in the contracts) then I think the heavyweights should have to also. If Klitschko comes in at 240, his opponent has to come in around 240 as well. It should be fair. I understand there are tons of guys that are like 200 pounds that can beat a person at 240, but just does not add up to me. Does not seem fair.
I guess Steven A never heard of Jack Dempsey vs. Jess Willard...Come on, Now!
After the show, Smith run straight to his car. He didn't wait for Evander at the backstage.
Nobody is arguing with any of these boxers that they both earned it. Manny and Floyd alike did not receive any handouts in their life. But why people dislike Floyd so much is not his talent, or the amount of money he's got. It's his character
Damn holyfield took 12 years n still going and and and and
SHOUTOUT 2 STEPHEN A SMITH

Don't try to explain it to me, I already understand it, you're the one asking the question. It's a timeless scenario.
I'm not bias, I didn't say Floyd antics are ok. I don't judge him no more than I judge manny for his past antics. I diss like both. All I care about is Floyds ability to box. That's it. People hate him because of his antics and then like manny and ignore his antics. BOTH are bad but because one is out spoken and the other is "humble" one gets hated more than the other. How is that being bias?
I think some people just want Floyd to lose so bad they don't want to hear or comprehend anything a Mayweather fan says.
SUPERB BOYS!!!!
Smith is funny in the end.
Very entertaining just like watching Pacquiao
I noticed 3 favor for Pacquiao win, and Smith had no choice but to kiss up for Floyd. Funny
you wouldn't interrupt if Iron Mike was talking bi....tch! LOL
1:37....there you go people,,,,floydie doesnt care about the fans all he wants to do is collecting your money for your paid entertainment..tskk tsk,,,
chem poi so whats new? thats old news. Hes been doing that since he turned pro.
Zack Fair WHERE WILL YOU BE MAY 3 AFTER THE BOXING LESSON PLEASE. NO EXCUSES I BEG U
finally someone will shut his filthy mouth...Pacquiao will take care of that
zigzaggered are you boxer? cause I'm sure people like Manny Pacquiao don't fight for the money he doesn't see it as a job its his passion its what saved his life from poverty. Also, being hurt means nothing in boxing thats all you're doing is getting hurt lol theyre just punching each other the whole time people appreciate a fucking brawl thats what people want to see. And also his statement may only refer to him because boxers get hurt all the time but are still considered champions.
assy mcgee
Don't tell me its his passion, you obviously dont know what youre talking about. Boxing is only a job for Manny, how do I know this? Because he NEVER goes into the boxing gym unless he has a fight coming up. This is a fact, and Manny has mentioned this so many times. Floyd also thinks of it as a job, but the difference is, he still goes to the gym regularly.
Manny just wanted the money, that is why he went to this fight with 1 arm (as he claims) or Floyd beat him up so bad that hes just making excuses that he had 1 arm.
No one is so stupid to fight the Pound-for-Pound chamption with 1 arm, and leave as a winner is a joke.
Manny mentioned pre-fight that he was 100%, you tell me that you're 100% when youre asking for a shoudler injection on the same day.
floyd beat that boy finally ppl can shut the hell up now
@14:01"But is is is is is is is is is"
Man, Holyfield that punch drunk stutter
moe Steven A Smith was translator for the thoughts in Holyfield's head cuz they couldn't come out of his mouth right
Evander is the reason why every kid should think twice about boxing.. You could end up sounding like this man. haha
Pacquiao has a survival mode, its unleashing fists in his opponents face, if Floyd can withstand that, then thats how hes gonna win, but that is a really big IF.
I remember Ronda Rousy embarrassed Stephen quote " from someone who fights" Stephen A Smith did not put any gloves or fought any boxing or mma. Where on earth his credibility regarding of his idea about boxing. A pure emotional fanatic.
Holyfield: I cant beat him for free lol
The disrespect that comes out of Stephan A's mouth is just ridiculous...
Evander is a king!
when pac beats floyd this saturday, i will use the power of the internet to troll the hell out of stephen a.
how did that work out? hahahahahahahaha
semajgnik lol and how did that go? #tbe
MMA has ensured the US will not dominate heavyweight boxing anytime soon.
Holyfield is telling the truth, the art of boxing is gone. I saw two guys in a boxing match last week and I was saddened to see what the sport has become. Two people with their feet squared, no balance, chins up and swinging for dear life. The Alexis Arguello types are forever gone. Hopkins and Mayweather are the last.
is that the goat head on wall (bamophmet)?!
Yes it is brother these man are satanists
For a guy that use to believe in God (me), i totally agree with Floyd, everyone is entitled to their opinions. He has his own belief system just like people who believe in religion have been taught theirs.
i really want to know what Stephen A smith has to say after the 2nd may fight.!
Still want to know?????🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stephen A. Smith is more knowledgable than Holyfield. lol!
How dare he cut off the real deal holyfield.
This is what people like Steven A doesn't understand. Most people do not hate Floyd for his hard work, what he earned, and what he accomplished in the sport of boxing. He is hated because he hasn't won the hearts of the people. He doesn't help out his community or the black community in that matter with the wealth he earned, not to mention his comment claiming he was better than Ali. His not a good role model for kids he beat his ex wife and denied it even though he plead guilty. Hell if you don't believe that look at Adrian Bronor. Is because of these things we he is hated. Floyd is an awesome boxer and proved he is the best of this era on May 2nd but because of those things it is why he was booed after he won and the loser received an encore. The people don't care nor want him anymore in the world of boxing.
Pacquiao doesn't know how to go on survival mode???SURVIVAL MODE???
All of pacquaio's fights are all SURVIVAL MODE!!!!!hahahahahh
Floyd let the haters keep hating on you. You did it the American way, we all know why they still hate you.
watch K1 fighting theres no weight limit and the smaller fighters beat the bigger fighters regularly. I saw a 300lb lost to a 165lb. Mighty Mo loss to a thai fighter forgot his name. There is a sumo wrestler that's 400lbs that usually always loss to the smaller fighter. Holyfield has a point if your faster and quicker more skillful then your opponent size wont matter.
Steven A should, watch again: Morales/Pac1, Marq/Pac 1/2/3, Pac/Cotto, Pac/Margarito, Each of those fights he had to endure. He fought from the ropes. He survived. So all due respect to Floyd, you might just dominate Pac, but the hearts of the people still flow with the underdog. I can't root for a man who abuses and hits women. Character. No resentments towards his acomplishments he's a superb boxer.
I pay my taxes lol
Hagler begged Leonard for a rematch. He til this day holds it against him because Leonard denied him that opportunity. Hagler only retired because he couldn't get that rematch. Stephen A needs to quit using that as reason to remind the judges to give Floyd the decision if it's close. He's making that shit up. 've seen countless interviews of Hagler saying Leonard should have given him the rematch.
pretty harsh to say that to the real deal but he took it on the chin hes hard i thought they were both right in their arguments kool to listen to thou
All the talking and BS won't matter come Saturday. Some people are gonna get their feelings hurt.
lets not compare hagler to mayweather, hagler was not respected by many people for a long time, mayweather by boxing people not nuts has been known since he was young he was the next big thing, yea it took him a few years to get ppv numbers up but hes been on top for a long time,
Floyd - ME FIRST - Manny- GOD FIRST
Brian Jenkins You say that as if one position is better than the other.
Yep, the one who puts God first will be the victor
Brian Jenkins Which God?
Jehovah God
5 days to go I will be back to this video and ask why God didn't help manny.
Mayweather should spend some of his money on a Hooked on Phonics kit.
I think Holyfield was too mired in personal bias toward Manny to give a coherent assessment in this debate. He's is also to simpleminded and too cohered into this religious mumbo jumbo, to give logical prognostication and discernment of the skill set level of the two fighters to call the fight.
14:02 take ya time Holyfield.
Floyd is living for Floyd... Manny is living for God and that is why Manny will always win...
He lost...
Gone2November im not a bible thumper just know the better man when i see it so fuck off you piece of shit
***** did you come to defend your boyfriend?
i dont fall for that slave crap! I am an American i live in today not crap that happened hundreds of years ago... this is my country if you feel so wronged by it you can leave...
Floyd keeps saying that everybody is in title to their own opinion but he always get defensive when someone calls him out. Floyd can't get but hurt and then say it doesn't bother you.
SUPERB GIRL!!!
Man, Smith is the biggest rider ever, even though Mayweather insulted him and told him he doesnt know shit about boxing, he still riding hard. Damn this guy definitely swallows. Evander knows that this fight should be competive but yet Smith doesnt want to hear it.
you got schooled! the best defensive fighter who cant even adjust. lol...
@13.57 & 14.02: Beginning's of a malfunction!
Holy field a 5 time heavyweight champ disrespected by a person who didn't even know how to put gloves to fight ridiculous.
People pay thousand of dollars to see GAYWEATHER lose.
Listen to TOM LEYKIS!!!
Unless pac gets a ko, mayweathers gonna win cause he fights like a bitch. He doesnt box he fights to score points based on how the system works. people say that makes him great, no that means hes great at using the system and delaying for 12 rounds it doesnt mean hes actually a good fighter.
running,clinching,ducking.elbowing that's what I'm expecting.
Floyd won the boxing match but Pacquiao is the greater p4p boxer.
Stephen a....don't start praising manny after he kills Floyd...say he got robbed and all that. keep disrespecting the best offensive fighter
Mike Tyson converts mayweather to a Muslim
I was always told always look out for number 1, cause folks don't like, love, or care about you if you can't or aint doing what they want. Floyd know him and his fam must come first. In the end we will all move on to the next star, and it is what he does and makes now that will carry them. Remember boxing has no union and its the last sport to be ran this way. Boxers retire and use all the winnings on medical bills.
All imma say is Manny ran for congress, floyd ran from manny.
Let me see some folks want Mayweather to lose and it dam sure sounds like Smith wants Pack Man to lose could it be of his prejudices.
