This was way before the Money May moniker - when Floyd actually came to fight and wasn't able to cherry pick opponents. And James White ups to Mayweather for paying for Genaro Hernandez's funeral in 2011.
^ I like these flashback videos. It actually makes non-boxing heads aware of some of the greats in their prime. Especially this side of Floyd, which I did not really know existed before.
It also causes hardcore headbangers to reminisce when boxing was not only the sweet science but also the bloodsport. Love to watch clips of the older fights. I remember this one like it just happened yesterday. Floyd was just too athletic and quick-handed for Hernandez. Mayweather used to come to fight and he used to sit down pretty good on his power punches. Nothing like the slap-boxing and defensive style he’s exhibited for the last five years.
John Thompson (not the ex-Hoya coach) but Newark's Apollo Kidd needs to stick to Boxcino tournaments on ESPN. He fought for a vacant 154 belt against some UK stiff (Liam Smith with a 50% KO ratio) and got stretched! He brought a Tempur-Pedic pillow to a championship fight. He was running so much he got gassed by the middle rounds. And Diego Magdaleno did worse against the WBO's 135 champ (Terry Flanagan with 41% KO ratio) who was making his first defense. Diego got KO'ed in the 2nd round. This was his second attempt at a world title. I doubt he gets a third chance.
His uncle and trainer Roger looked like he could still go a few rounds. Blazing hand-speed and impeccable accuracy. But his opponent looked like someone they just grabbed from an assembly line at Home Depot. Floyd was more offense-minded with Roger and more defensive-minded when trained by his pops. That was a beautiful and lethal double-left-hook. It’s usually thrown to the liver then to the head but Floyd did the opposite and threw it upstairs then downstairs, which is a lot harder to do, but that’s how gifted this guy was. No need to count - no one is getting up from that liver shot!
JChavez, would you have sex with Ronda Rousey and Laila Ali? I would hahahahahahahahahahaha.

Mike’s punches were given numbers. I remember some experts actually thought Biggs' height/length and boxing skills would give Tyson some issues, but look at Biggs’ face – I’m sure he was asking himself “what am I doing up here against this uncaged lion?” He was shook before a young Buffer could introduce the combatants.
Charles, like a young Tyson I’d wreck Laila and Ronda - two at a time like Noah. I have the stamina of a Mexican Dracula after dark, and I don’t need herbal Viagra.
LOL@what you said you would do to Laila and Ronda in the bed hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
JChavez, if you had to choose which woman you wanted between Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano, who would you choose? I would choose Ronda but i like Gina too. Did you know Ronda posed for Maxim magazine? I saw her photoshoot on Youtube for Maxim and i was like wow when i saw her in a bikini. She has a nice body and i wanna kiss her legs and feet LOL. I wanna kiss and lick her titties too LOL.
