Mike Stafford, trainer for former three division world champion Adrien Broner, fired back at the critical comments that were made about his fighter. The comments came from Floyd Mayweather Sr., father and trainer of Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Broner and Mayweather Jr. are very close friends, but that didn't stop Floyd Sr. from taking a few shots at Adrien over his performance in the twelve round decision loss to Shawn Porter on June 20 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

"I'll be honest with you, I voted for Broner. I was thinking Broner was going to win. You cant keep making excuses for people. You can't keep making excuses. If he knows that there is something that he didn't do right, he knows right from wrong. If he did it wrong and got his ass whopped, that's what is supposed to happen," Mayweather Sr. told BoxingScene.com.

"He's not no top ranked fighter, in the rankings. He held all night. Broner looked like nothing. All that grabbing and holding. With all that stuff he does...the women...the drinking...all that stuff. He's not going to do nothing. He looked like a bum. First, he needs to learn how to fight. If he wants to learn how to fight, he needs to come see me - or else forget it, done. My whole saying is, it's my way or the highway and no other way.

"All the things Broner was saying, none of it was true. Don't get me wrong, I see where he's got ability, but with all the sh*t with these girls and drinking, he's never going to get nowhere."

Stafford has some choice words for Mayweather Sr. and held nothing back in his commentary.

"What Floyd Senior is doing, he's an opportunist living off his son, saying he's the best off his son. He don't know nothing about developing talent, someone else's son. You've got to be loving, caring, go the extra mile. He has guys coming to his gym, coming off the bus to him, I might have to go pick a guy up. I go into the hood, there are guns. Drug dealers, crackheads..They have guns out, they see me and go, 'Oh, it's cool, it's Coach Mike. Late at night, early in the morning. Mayweather Sr., he should be worried about Mickey Bey," Stafford told Mike Woods of The Sweet Science.
