Mayweather-Corley Round 4. The most exciting round of Mayweather's career?

Floyd has been in a lot of good fights. People just have short memories. That's what all sports are like. It's a case of "what have you done for me lately" and his inactivity exacerbates that. The last round of this one is a great scrap, especially uppercuts at 4:50.

Nice video. I see Corley wanted Pacquaio-Judah next.

Floyd needs to bring back the fade

corley cracked his glass. if you were made of glass like floyd you would fight super cautiously and duck dangerous fighters as well. i don't really blame him.

This was when Mayweather was still a beast and not a full blown cherry picker.

Augustus-Mayweather had some really good rounds. One of my 2 favorite Floyd fights. I love how annoyed he is that he is getting hit in the face so he pounds his fist together and moves forward.

Mayweather - Augustus was a hell of a fight, lot of infighintg in it

No CWs to drain the much bigger men , makes all the difference in the world , you got no idea of weight . I totally agree

Because he is a good fighter. A lot of people seemed to be most enamored with how hard he works and how good he is in training, especially on the mitts. Everyone I talked to after the Delahoya/Floyd 24/7 was "Oh my god how good is Floyd in camp" They couldn't wait to see him again yeah the actual fights may suck but damn i love seeing him hit those mitts!

those were his biggest fights and he fought like a bi-tch. it's easy to be tough against losers like ortiz and cherry picked opponents. when he stepped into the ring with a beast like baldomir it was safety first. No CWs to drain the much bigger men , makes all the difference in the world , you got no idea of weight .

Exactly my point. Plus, they were back to back and in the same time frame he avoided Margarito. New fans to the sport are obviously going to repel to that. And it's funny you posted because you are the exact person I had in mind when making those posts :lol1: Didn't quite expect people to let it seemingly take over their life like you have, though. Thank the Lord Calzaghe hadn't retired yet at that point. what i don't understand is why floyd became so popular. those fights were just awful and yet people stuck around. it shows that the people who stuck around don't really care about boxing. they just like paying 50 dollars for a very weak soap opera starring floyd, and so they can say silly things like check hook! and pull counter! and calzaghe will return....it has been prophesized

Judah was before the Baldomir fight but yeah that was an entertaining fight. That's the thing, even post Oscar despite being more conservatite than his earliest and earlier career he still put on exciting fights. Hatton, Mosley, Ortiz and Cotto are all exciting fights IMO. The thing is a lot of people just base his whole career off the Baldomir and Oscar fights. Add the fact it's around the same time Mayweather avoided Margarito and turned the volume up to max on his persona. So it's understandable he rubbed people up the wrong way. those were his biggest fights and he fought like a bi-tch. it's easy to be tough against losers like ortiz and cherry picked opponents. when he stepped into the ring with a beast like baldomir it was safety first.

That man was such an amazing beast back then. What a great.

On my cell so don't feel like typing a lot but one thing that stood out to me is that in between rounds you could here Roger telling Floyd to go to the body. U then here Floyd saying something like he can't because Chop is covering up. U could tell roger was frustrated and tryin to get Floyd to listen. Then in like the 8th or 10th round they are in the ring and u can here roger saying "the body". Floyd immediately throws a quick body shot that stops chop in his tracks. U can here roger say something like " there it is". Then Floyd throws another body block to where u can see chop is hurt. Then Floyd unloaded a combo that ended up coming back up top after chop dropped his hands. It sent chop going backwards. That's why I laugh when people say trainers don't matter with Floyd. Those eyes help and they are studying film non stop. They lay the gameplan. Floyd executes snd is a great adjuster but he doesn't do it alone. Roger an senior know there stuff Absolutely. It genuinely frustrates me that people say Roger isn't a good trainer and Mayweather doesn't need a trainer. Floyd himself gives so much credit to Roger for moulding him as a fighter and sorting out the gameplans for him. You think Mayweather, with the ego he has, would say that if he didn't need to? This is a guy who's so ego driven he claims he doesn't watch any film on his opponents and drinks and eats junk food on a consistent level while he's in training camp.

True, although I liked the Judah/Ortiz/Mosley fights. Judah was before the Baldomir fight but yeah that was an entertaining fight. That's the thing, even post Oscar despite being more conservatite than his earliest and earlier career he still put on exciting fights. Hatton, Mosley, Ortiz and Cotto are all exciting fights IMO. The thing is a lot of people just base his whole career off the Baldomir and Oscar fights. Add the fact it's around the same time Mayweather avoided Margarito and turned the volume up to max on his persona. So it's understandable he rubbed people up the wrong way.

Augustus-Mayweather had some really good rounds. No doubt, Floyd got busted up in that fight. Round 3 was very exciting. Floyd's able to seamlessly switch it up between unloading his offensive arsenal and just sticking and moving. Round 8 of May-Hat was the definition of an @ss beating. Then in round 9 instead of forcing for the kill like most would Floyd goes into his reverse gear and jabs. It must have been a mind f*ck for Hatton He made sure the meat was properly tenderized before eating it.

You get plenty of guys that are good at offense, fewer that are good at defense and even fewer still that are good at both. Very rarely do you find a guy who can do both and transition between them easily, the ability to transition really is the calling card of an elite versatile boxer. It really is not something most people look at but transitioning from offense to defense is always a tricky thing and catches lots of guys who think they can box up so when watching a prospect that is something to pay attention to.
