Mayweather Sr. Furious With Roach Getting Big Praise

By Edward Chaykovsky

Trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. is furious with the boxing media, because he claims they are ignoring his accomplishments while giving what he believes is too much praise to his professional rival, Freddie Roach.

Floyd's son, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and Roach's top fighter, Manny Pacquiao, are the two biggest names in boxing and talks are taking place, according to Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank, to match them against each other.

"They can do what they want to do, they give [awards] to Freddie Roach all the time and he can’t f***ing train no damn nobody. Let’s be for real, you can put us both on stage and you’ll find out who’s the best. He’s nowhere near me, he’s not even in the same class, nowhere near. But like I said before, they’ve been giving him all the accolades but I don’t give a damn. You got to go through all that bullsh*t to get a f***ing trophy? F*** them, I ain’t thinking about them," Mayweather Sr. told On The Ropes Boxing Radio.

"It’s them feeling sorry for Freddie and that’s where all that bullsh*t is coming around. It is what it is however way you want to do it because either you’re in the game and win — if Freddie Roach would have done what I did this year, hey, there would be no question in anybodies mind that he would get the accolades again. We’ll just wait and see what happens. I thought very seriously that they’d honor me but all they want to do is cheat, steal and all that sh*t."
