“It’s Not That I’m Fast, It’s Not That I’m Strong”: Unlike Common Belief, 50–0 Floyd Mayweather Reveals the Reason Behind His Wins in the Resurfaced Video

Floyd Mayweather: a boxing legend with an unbeaten record. Known for his lightning-speed punches and technical ability, but is that all? In a resurfaced interview, he unveils something unexpected. It’s not his physical prowess that he credits. Instead, Mayweather points to something else, something less visible.

This revelation challenges common perceptions. How has this champion consistently outmaneuvered his opponents? What’s the real secret behind his 50–0 record? What could be more important than strength in the boxing ring?

How Floyd Mayweather Conquered Boxing

In the captivating clip shared by DEEP MMA & BOXING, the conversation between Floyd Mayweather and Larry Merchant unfolds, revealing a pivotal moment. Merchant begins, “The thing in boxing is you’re just too quick, too well schooled, you’ve been doing what you do since you could stand up.” These words paint Mayweather as a product of lifelong training and innate talent.

However, Mayweather responds with a perspective that reframes the narrative. “Yes but that’s not the reason why I’m winning. It’s not that I’m fast, it’s not that I’m strong. It’s not cause I come from a family of fighters,” he asserts. This declaration immediately catches our attention. Mayweather continues, “It’s because I’m the smartest up here,” and he taps his head to emphasize his point. Here, he shifts the focus from physical attributes to mental prowess. He continued, “There’s no fighter that can match me up here.”

This exchange provides a rare glimpse into Mayweather’s self-perception. Importantly, it underlines his belief in mental strategy over physical ability. This viewpoint not only illuminates Mayweather’s approach to boxing but also challenges the traditional emphasis on physical strength in sports. Through this dialogue, Mayweather establishes that his undefeated record stems more from his intelligence and strategic thinking than from mere physicality.

While Mayweather could possibly face Manny this year, Jeff Mayweather had some words to say about his mindset.

Mayweather and Pacquiao’s fierce preparation for the rematch

As the boxing world eagerly anticipates the 2024 rematch between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, their unyielding commitment to the sport takes center stage. Jeff Mayweather, providing a glimpse into their preparations, highlighted Floyd’s unwavering dedication. “No, I think that Floyd’s going to look at this as being a real fight. I think that he’s going to work and he’s going to train just as hard as he did when he was young. All he knows is how to train hard,” Jeff asserts, emphasizing Floyd’s relentless work ethic.

Regarding Pacquiao, Jeff revealed, “Manny’s prayers were probably answered when they said that they’re going to make this fight happen.” This comment shed light on Pacquiao’s deep-seated desire for redemption and his readiness for the much-anticipated rematch.
