Is it sick\ridiculous or is it me the way this guy is working that rope... How does one obtain that much hand\eye coordination. All are pro boxers this sharp? I just thought I would share this....

Robinson, Leonard, Duran and Tyson were all pretty sharp at jumping rope too.
Its not as hard as you'd think at first tho, especially the under the leg thing he does towards the end, its a good way of catching your breath after doing the double unders, running in place etc.

Tyson was good but Mayweather's skill & showmanship are unparalleled.

I remember watching it a few months back; I thought wow that's damn good and even now its still damn good. I had the pleasure of watching an international jump rope champion during an amatuer boxing show and he doesn't even compare to Floyd. Thanks for bringing it up again.

Good stuff. Most people just don't realize how hard that is to do.
Theres a better version of that video with a different song.
Goes well with what hes doing.

Roberto Duran's skipping was the best when he did squats as he skipped getting down real low is the most impressive thing i have seen in terms of skipping routine.

Is there a video of him doing that, I can imagine those would be really hard to do.

Mayweather is great with the jump rope. Duran was amazing as well....I have never seen anything quite like it.

nice video, I didn't realize SRL had such a good chin, he took some good shots. Anyway, the jump rope routine was okay but nothing compared to Floyds, still impressive nonetheless

Nobody trains harder than Floyd, this video is great example of his coordination probably with different music he said he trains any time of the day could be 1 or 2 Am his conditioning is unsurpass.

great vid thanks. I loved the part when mike was shadow boxing(1min30sec) really fast, and he was only 15, wow he already looked like a full grown man.

Tyson was even more impressive at a mere 15 years old. Don't believe me?

watch that clip about a minute or more into it it gives you a small taste of what he can do on the rope and this is at 15 years old. There's videos of him at his prime doing jump rope that blow Floyd out of the water. Floyd does what 2 or 3 rotations max I've seen Tyson do like 5 or more with each jump.
5 rotations per jump is crazy! I didn't know it was possible to do more than 3, I've seen people do consecutive double unders on one leg tho. That rossboxing guy's skipping skills are pretty insane too.
floyd has the best hand-eye-coordination of any boxer I've seen. His padwork is evidence of this also.
