Video: Mannix, Mora on whether Floyd Mayweather can be great trainer

DAZN commentators Chris Mannix and Sergio Mora discuss Floyd Mayweather’s decision to become a trainer.

Floyd Mayweather recently announced that he intends to pursue a second career as a trainer.

The future Hall of Famer acknowledged that he’s at the beginning of the learning curve but, never one to set his sights low, he added that, “I will be one of the best trainers in the world.”

Is that realistic?

Few great athletes have become great coaches or managers. For example, Ted Williams was among the greatest hitters of all time but wasn’t a successful manager. Wayne Gretzky, considered the best hockey player ever, was just a so-so coach.

In this episode of “Jabs with Mannix and Mora,” DAZN commentators Chris Mannix and Sergio Mora give their takes on whether Mayweather would be different from Williams and Gretzky.

Here’s what they had to say.

Video: Mannix, Mora on what weight is ideal for Canelo Alvarez

DAZN commentators Chris Mannix and Sergio Mora discuss which weight class is ideal for Canelo Alvarez, who has bounced around recently.

Three fights ago, against Rocky Fielding, Canelo Alvarez fought as a super middleweight. The following fight, against Danny Jacobs, he was a middleweight. And, most recently, he fought Sergey Kovalev as a light heavyweight.

So what’s the ideal division for the Mexican superstar?

Some of those close to him have said that 168 pounds – super middleweight – makes most sense. However, his trainer, Eddy Reynoso, recently said he expects Alvarez’s third fight against Gennadiy Golovkin to be contested at 160.

DAZN commentators Chris Mannix and Sergio Mora tackle this subject in the latest episode of Jabs with Mannix and Mora.

Here’s what they had to say.

Video: Mannix, Mora on Anthony Joshua’s chances of beating Tyson Fury

DAZN commentators Chris Mannix and Sergio Mora discuss who should be favored if Tyson Fury fights Anthony Joshua.

Who would be favored if Tyson Fury fought Anthony Joshua?

Oddsmakers currently give Fury the edge for obvious reasons. The “Gypsy King” is coming off a sensational knockout of Deontay Wilder in February while Joshua rebounded with a decision over Andy Ruiz Jr. in December after Ruiz stopped him in their previous fight.

But does Joshua have a better chance of beating Fury than some might believe?

DAZN commentators Chris Mannix and Sergio Mora discuss that topic and the value of the “0” in Fury’s loss column in the latest episode of Jabs with Mannix and Mora.

Here’s what they had to say.

Video: Mannix, Mora on possibility of Canelo vs. McGregor

DAZN commentators Chris Mannix and Sergio Mora give their thoughts on a prospective matchup of Alvarez and McGregor.

Conor McGregor made a zillion dollars when he “fought” Floyd Mayweather in 2017 even though, from a competitive standpoint, he had no business stepping through the ropes.

Could the MMA star be up to the same thing today?

McGregor, well aware of money on the table, has made noise about another boxing cash cow – Canelo Alvarez – even though the Irishman would stand next to zero chance of winning the fight. He has also mentioned a rematch with Mayweather and a possible showdown with Manny Pacquiao, who would love the easy payday

In this episode of Jabs with Mannix and Mora, DAZN commentators Chris Mannix and Sergio Mora give their thoughts on a prospective matchup of Alvarez and McGregor.

Mike Tyson over Muhammad Ali?

That was the result of a simulated heavyweight tournament conducted by the World Boxing Super Series. Tyson defeated Ali in the championship match of the competition, which raised some eyebrows worldwide.

Most observers seem to believe that Ali, who defeated the likes of Sonny Liston, Joe Frazier and George Foreman during a golden era of heavyweights, could’ve handled anything Tyson threw at him and then some.

What do DAZN commentators Chris Mannix and Sergio Mora think? They give their thoughts on the Jabs with Mannix and Mora show.

Video: Mannix, Mora on who can give Canelo Alvarez a real challenge

DAZN commentators Chris Mannix and Sergio Mora discuss whether anyone at or near 168 pounds could give Canelo Alvarez a real challenge.

[jwplayer NkSWHL6T]

Can anyone give Canelo Alvarez a challenge at or around 168 pounds?

Alvarez has had his share of tough fights. He and Gennadiy Golovkin had 24 give-and-take rounds. Danny Jacobs held his own against the Mexican. And even then-light heavyweight champ Sergey Kovalev was competitive for much of their fight.

The 168-pound division, where Alvarez resides, isn’t deep, though. Could any super middleweight give Alvarez difficulty? Could a 160-pounder move up and challenge him?

DAZN commentators Chris Mannix and Sergio Mora tackle that topic on Jabs with Mannix and Mora.

And both of them came up with one man they feel could give Alvarez problems. Hint: One is British, the other is American.

Listen to what they have to say.
