by Robert Brown – John Scully is a renowned boxing trainer, 2 time world title challenger, analyst and boxing commentator. He has trained the likes of former light/heavy weight champion Chad Dawson. As well as many other top fighters. In this interview Scully discusses recent boxing events and the ramifications of the results.
Topics include Adrien “The Problem” Broner’s shocking upset defeat at the hands of Marcos Maidana, whether he will ever be the same again, and the Pacquiao/Mayweather saga. The Iceman also speaks on the plight of Andre Ward and Guillermo Rigondeaux, Timothy Bradley’s struggles to get his respect and discusses his upcoming book. Just click play on the player to hear what John Scully had to say.
Quotes:
“Some of the stuff Broner has done has been so distasteful and so ignorant I don’t know he can come back from this.”
“The difference between Broner and Floyd is yes Floyd talks a big game but I know for a fact he trains harder than anyone, maybe outside of Andre Ward in the game.”
“If Broner comes back brushing his hair the boos will be heard for miles around.”
“It is an insult to Mayweather to suggest that Broner is the new Mayweather because Mayweather is so far ahead of these guys and Broner is not him”
“To be honest with you Floyd Mayweather has not shown me any reason to bet against him”
“As good as they are, as bright as they are, fighting Floyd, will amount to a learning experience for them, I don’t see anybody beating Floyd”
“What really stands out in 2013 is the emergence of Danny Garcia”
“In hindsight, Malingnaggi showed some weaknesses in Broner that have not been corrected”
“I’m sure that Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns Roberto Duran And Marvin Hagler would go right to Mayweather.”
“For Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather to refuse to fight for more than 40 million, is literally an insult to struggling fighters.”
“We wanna see the biggest fights in the world, the fights that would make boxing the biggest sport in the world, at least for a day, I wish Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather would just get it over with and fight the fight”
“I’ve been touting that fight for a long time , If Mayweather and Pacquiao were on HBO and Stevenson and Kovalev were on another network I would watch Stevenson Kovalev”
It was indeed a pleasure catching up with John Scully, his wealth of knowledge provides a unique and rare perspective on the sport of boxing. I wish him luck with his new beginning down in Florida and also with his upcoming autobiography called “The ice man diaries.”
John Scully is one of the true high class gentlemen of the sport, I wish him continued success.
that’s why the fight still can’t happen in the near future bcoz floyd is really scared to face pacquiao period.
it is really difficult to understand why some fans don’t see plainly it is floyd who does not want to make the fight with Manny Pacquiao. He has made one thousand and one reasons not to fight the boxer which has the most number of qualification and rights to face the Fraud. Manny has even agreed to all of Fraud’s conditions and yet he finds one alibi one after another to evade a fight with Manny. Even the many great ex-boxing world champions are running out of patients to the cowardice of Floyd the Fraud. Recently, coward floyd is fooling the boxing world by impressing that Amir Kkhan has better qualification than Pacquiao in fighting him. INspite of his loses to Marquez & Bradley, you can’t take away from Pacquiao his recognition by the BWAA as the Boxer of the Decade and a many other awards which Flod’s past opponents did not have. What is it really Floyd? Why do you have the stomach of being called coward & scared of Pacquiao . It is about time to stand to the plate and face Pacquiao. If you don’t you will spend the rest of your life haunted by the fact that you really is the best if not Pacquiao!
OUR NUMBERS are GROWING, Guys! KEEP ON letting the BOXING WORLD KNOW that OUR VOICE MATTER TOO!
WE WILL MAKE FLOYD MAYWEATHER COME OUT OF HIS CLOSET and FIGHT!

Gayman is not confident and business says it will be more by not fighting Pacman.
” I don’t see anybody beating Floyd” – WhatTheFuck…… but your Guy(Floyd) knows Best……that’s why he has a lot of excuses man!… com’n Man!…. hahahha
If your guy( Floyd ) is the best and as what you said nobody can beat him.This is my question and please use your mind please , why is it that he don’t want to face Pacquiao…please think it in thousand times my boy…..
Top 5 Reasons why Floyd won’t fight Pac:
1)Pac is using magic steroids
2)Olympic Style drug testing for Pac (also in between rounds) Mayweather Sr. does the blood drawing
3)$40 million but NO PPV share of a possible highest grossing ppv ever
4)Pac leaves Bob Arum
5)Must prove again that Pac is worhty and after the LOSS to Bradley-Marquez
If Pac doesn’t agree, Mayweather fights Khan(Pac former sparring partner lol)
Once Upon a Time there is An American BOXER? FIGHTER? named Floyd Gayweather Jr. Chicken FLOYD Jr. is so SCARED TO LOSE TO Manny Pacquiao, a TRUE BOXER, a TRUE FIGHTER from the PACIFIC and TARNISH HIS UNBEATEN (COWARD & GAY) RECORD. HE WANTS TO BEAT ROCKY MARCIANO’S RECORD IN A SPECIAL WAY. FLOYD JR. RETIRED FROM BOXING FOR TWO YEARS TO AVOID WORTHY OPPONENTS, THEN CAME BACK AND CONTINUED HIS COWARDICE STYLE! TO ALL AMERICAN BOXING FANS WHO SUPPORT FLOYD GAYWEATHER JR. PLEASE CONTINUE SUPPORTING YOUR IDOL AND CONVERT HIM TO A TRUE BOXER, AND A TRUE FIGHTER!!! BEING UNBEATEN DOES’NT MEAN SHIT. MUHAMMAD ALI IS NOT UNBEATEN BUT HE IS A MILLION BETTER THAN FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. BOXING IS FIGHTING, FACING ALL THE CHALLENGERS AND NOT DUCKING!!!!!!

as if your so ignorant of boxing in that kind of reasoning, and your just showing how illogical you are….you know so long before that Manny and Arum now would agree with whatever kind of drug testing just to make the fight happen…No one of the great boxers in the past like Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Duran and others do that kind of reasoning and ducking, history proves it…thats for your info idiot!……Pacman, Bradley being avoided by Gayweather now…He avoided Margarito before coz he’s so much afraid of him…thats for your info again
WHY WOULD GAYWEATHER DEMAND FOR ANYTHING? WHO DOES HE THINK HE WAS AFTER HIDING FOR TWO YEARS? PACQUIAO WAS # 1 POUND FOR POUND AT THAT TIME, JUST FOR YOUR INFO IDIOT S.R. YOU MUST BE BLACK SHAWN R. COZ IT’S TYPICAL WHEN YOU’RE IN DOUBT, U RUN THE RACE CARD! TSONGGITO! MARICoON! IDIOTA!
CONTINUE SUPPORTING YOUR COWARD BOTHER! EVEN SHAWN REY AND GAYWEATHER JR. . PACQUIAO WILL FIGHT AT THE SAME TOME TOO MANY EXC– USES!! DUH…
John Skully who? Making a nonsense opinion. Never heard of this guy.
this guy is a fan boy of floyd….
Floyd v Khan. Who’s going to watch it? Didn’t Danny Garcia just knocked out Khan. Any Mayweather fight will be boycotted by the fans, except the Pacquiao fight.
Scully who is this guy. His opinion is not worth a salt!
indeed!
john scully who? never heard of him that is why he is so out of touch of what is going on between manny and mayweather. that is why something is wrong with the way it is written…it should have been written like this….”for mayweather to refuse to fight manny is an insult to struggling fighters…”
it is pathetic that despite of several
john scully who? where you from?
The Greatest Ducker of All Time Fraud Mayweather’s cowardice is the only reason this superfight that everyone in boxing is clamoring for has not happened, why blame both boxers? It is Mayweather who invents infinite lies and excuses to avoid fighting the Pacman. Why is he being called a fraud? Because he continuously concocts lies and excuses just to avoid the fights that can test him. Why is he being called The Greatest Ducker of All Time? Because he ducked 11 fighters in their primes who challenged him. If you can remember he was trembling in fear when Margarito approached him, shook his hand and said “let’s fight” and he wasn’t able to respond and made another excuse? This is one of the reasons he doesn’t want to fight Pacquiao, coz Pacquiao destroyed Margarito when he (The Duck) was trembling in fear of the man (Margarito). Pacquiao has acceded to all his demands but now is saying again that he doesn’t want to deal with Arum or that Pacquiao is not on his level. Lies and excuses. The man’s a coward and a fraud he doesn’t deserve one more penny from true boxing fans.
for your information mr. scully..pacquiao is willing to fight mayweather…the whole world knew the reason.. and you know also that mayweather has no balls to face the A class fighter pacquiao…let us not pretend….okay?
Floyd actually wants to fight Pacman but not this time. He is waiting when Pacman will be slowing down his skills by absorbing another losses to two or more fighters. He wants to make sure a winning game!
Everybody with logical thinking knows what kind of fighter Mayweather avoids…History proved his afraid and ducked Margarito before, history knows Castillo beats Mayweather in their fight and Mayweather refused to give Castillo a rematch….Castillo and Margarito has a resemblance only the latter is more aggressive and throws more harder punches…So thats the type of boxer Mayweather is afraid of..for now Mayweather dont like to fight the likes of Pacquiao and Bradley…if you are an open minded person and knows boxing history, its easy to understand that thing…but i’m not saying that Pacquiao and Bradley will beat Mayweather if the fight gonna happen..but they have the chance and their capable..and Floyd knows that…
Duck Dodger will most likely fight Khan and give up his belt not to battle Paquiao, yep when it comes to Pac duck Dodger has all the excuses no to fight
another weakness in pacman’s armor is his chin and yet Floyd still not wanting to fight. All his camp does is boister how easy it would be for Floyd to beat him and yet……….
Thanks for FOLLOWING! The LIKES and SHARES, -every single one of them MATTERS A LOT! But we still have a long way to go! So, Keep on going, guys! GO! GO! GO!
WE WILL MAKE FLOYD MAYWEATHER COME OUT OF HIS CLOSET and FIGHT!
