Roach, Mayweather Sr. Agree To Never Agree

By Mark Vester

Trainers Floyd Mayweather Sr. and Freddie Roach can't seem to agree on anything. During a recent phone conference with the media, the two trainers traded insults, insults and more insults. Both of them predict a quick knockout on May 2 in Las Vegas.

Mayweather Sr. seemed to be very angry over Roach's prediction of a three round knockout, and made a counter-predicition that Ricky Hatton will stop Manny Pacquiao inside of three rounds. He then questioned the credentials of Roach.

"Freddie's getting too hyped about Manny knocking out Ricky in three rounds," Mayweather Sr said. "It's going to be the other way around. Who's (Roach) won with? Apart from Manny, he's never won with nobody and he's never made nobody. I made my son (Floyd Mayweather Jr) but he's never made nobody. I've said it before, he's Freddie 'The Joke Coach' Roach."

Roach shot back and said Floyd's brother, Roger Mayweather, was the one who created Floyd Jr.

"I don't really pay attention to it," Roach said. "Floyd made his son but Roger made him a boxer so it doesn't really bother me. If I win the trainer of the year award, I want Floyd to present me with it."
