‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd Was More “Dazzling” Than “Boring” ‘Money’ Mayweather: Zab Judah Controversy and Shane Mosley Roped In as Renowned ‘Mad TV’ Star Remains Brutally Honest About 50–0 Boxing Legend

Floyd Mayweather is undoubtedly one of the best boxers in the world. But there have been times when even Floyd came to the brink of getting knocked down. A renowned Mad TV superstar recently brought up one of those occasions while appearing in an interview with Vlad TV. What’s more, the conversation went over the different phases of Floyd Mayweather’s career as he expressed his candid view of Floyd. But who is this Mad TV star?

Illustrious comedian Aries Spears, well-known for his Mad TV appearances, has long been a fan of boxing. His passion for boxing took center stage in a recent interview where he delved deep into the world of boxing, with a focus on Mayweather. During the conversation, the discussion naturally gravitated toward Floyd’s encounters with other legendary boxers, such as Zab Judah and Shane Mosley. Judah went toe-to-toe with Mayweather back in 2006 in a fight that resulted in controversial knocked-down claims against Mayweather. On the other hand, Mosley fought Floyd in 2010, showcasing his exceptional skills and resilience in the ring. So, what conspired during the interview?

Aries Spears: ‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd Mayweather more entertaining than ‘Money’

A quarter of the way through the video, the interviewer mentioned that Mayweather has never been knocked down. But he came close to one during the fight against Zab Judah. In response, Aries agreed, “he rocked him a little bit.” The interviewer then explained that Judah claimed he knocked down Floyd, but it wasn’t counted officially. The interviewer then emphasized that even Shane Mosley came close but could not knock down Mayweather.

That’s when Aries remarked that ‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd was much more entertaining than ‘Money’ Mayweather. “When he was Pretty Boy more so than team Money, he was even more dazzling,” Aries told Vlad TV. He further claimed he’s heard from people who find ‘Money’ Mayweather’s fighting style boring. “You know, a lot of people describe him as boring. You know he’s a defensive guy,” stated Aries.

Zab Judah on Mayweather knockdown controversy

Back in 2006, Judah and Floyd fought in a nail-biting clash, billed as Sworn Enemies. The general consensus among fans was that Floyd dominated the entire twelve rounds. But in the second round, Judah delivered a serious blow to Mayweather that rocked him for a moment. It started a controversy, with some labeling it a knockdown while others disagreed.

After 17 years, in an interview with Mat Hoffa, Judah asserted it was definitely a knockdown, citing the rules – if the gloves touch the canvas, it’s a knockdown. However, according to the referee in the fight, Mayweather simply tripped and fell. So, the knockdown wasn’t counted officially. Despite that, the debate has been raging among fans about the decision even years after.
