1 minute of this padwork tires you out, floyd does 45 minutes non stop..... amazing conditioning...

[ZMorpheus]

Mayweather is a product of multi generations. I saw some old vids of his dad, and he wasn't anywhere close to spectacular.. I don't know bout Roger, but over the decades these 2 did their homework and Mayweather Jr is their succesfully experimented Frankenstein; seasoned potential guided by "insider" experience. Even Pacquiao wasn't raised like this. Mayweather is the result of a silently built dynasty..

@ZMorpheus roger mayweather fought sugar ray leonard. He was a legit fighter.

[ljitsu]

does anybody know the sequence of punches from his padwork routine?

[TrestanSKYWALKR]

His conditioning is sick! I've never seen him look winded in the ring! Every other fighter has had to take a blow or looks tired at some point. Not him it's crazy!

@ZMorpheus Thank You

@NextWorldApparel Brilliant summary.

@codeman95291 he throws harder but the form and footwork is the same. Many guys have talent but lack refined skill. You get guys who train for months and then come in the ring and punch with open hands. (Ex Shane Mosley) Or, a guy practices maintianing balance and defense when they throw but are over the place in the ring (Hatton vs Pacquiao). Plus the drill is more about reflexes and being able to think quickly. It's like a walk thru in a football practice. It doesnt need to be full speed.

[codeman95291]

@NextWorldApparel yeah, i understand that i'm sure it's important but in my opinion it doesn't simulate how you'd throw punches in a fight because even mayweather himself doesn't throw punches like that when he's actually boxing someone

[NextWorldApparel]

@ZMorpheus Roger was a really good offensive fighter with a stiff jab. Floyd Sr. was a brilliant defensive fighter. The videos you saw of Sr. have to be put into context. He fought a portion of his career not only on drugs but with injury. Part of the reason he didnt meet his potential is because he was shot. Floyd Jr however, is an all time great because he incorporated the best of both worlds into his style and perfected it early on.

@codeman95291 The drill is for speed, accuracy and proper technique. (ex. turning your hands over, circling your opponent properly, maintaining defensive awareness, putting punches together and knowing what combinations to throw + when) Every drill doesn't have to incorporate power. Ricky Hatton made fun of the drill and got his ass handed to him by Mayweather. Not saying this is the only reason why but Floyd Sr. was the 1st trainer to EVER show Hatton how to hit the pads.That's sad!
