Floyd Sr had a live chat today from ESPN website...

--------------
Lewis (Brooklyn, NY): What do you think of Nazeem Richardson as a trainer?
Floyd Mayweather Sr. (3:37 PM): (Laughing) That's like talking about Coach Roach. He don't know the first thing about training. From what I see, you can do the same thing. Shane could have got you Lewis and would get the same results. Training is one thing but training someone to fight is something totally different.
I think Pavlik's run of KO's over Zertuche, Miranda, and Taylor was more impressive.
By the way, just because BoxRec doesn't have the full list doesn't mean shit.
That run was really underrated.
Who has Nazim brought up in the ranks? Name me one fighter Nazim has brought up.
That is all fine and dandy but nobody was saying that before he made that negative comment about Floyd...
Before that everybody saying how great of a trainer he is... How he is even better than Roach and the best trainer in the game...
But, like I said one negative comment about Floyd. And, dude is a joke, a fraud, a fake, a phony, a con man, and all of a sudden overrated.
But, when he said the quote about the biggest trick the devil ever pulled was to make people believe he didn't exist. The best trick Pac ever pulled was make people believe he is not a big dude.
When he said that he was an awesome trainer. But, when he talks shit about Floyd he is overrated...
You don't think the World Boxing Hall of Fame is a credible source?
They had Pac fighter of the year in '07.

are you a dumbass? 2007 is Floyd's year (DLH, Hatton)
World Boxing HOF my ass
On the issue of Floyd disrespecting Hatton by showing up late, etc. There are 2 sides to every story. I'm not defending his behavior but Hatton wasn't exactly a saint himself. For a trainer that has no history of this kind of behavior with any of his other fighters including Hatton's previous match, what would cause to suddenly start acting that way? According to Floyd himself, Hatton was secretly training with Asst Trainer Lee Beard without his knowledge and increasingly paying more attention to Beard's advice than Floyd's. I think Floyd just figured why show dedication to this guy when he's not respecting me as a trainer? Most trainers would've quit if their fighter was doing what Hatton was allegedly doing. The Hatton camp also showed a lack of class after the fight by saying Mayweather was never part of Team Hatton and he was more of "hired consultant" whose services are no longer needed and that Lee Beard was always a member of the team. Not surprisingly, Beard has since then left the Hatton fold himself.
I voted for Naz but i think roger has proven year in year out that he is up there with roach and beristain who are the other big trainers in my eyes oh and steward
I remember reading before on how Richardson is the best trainer. Better than Roach by a mile and any other trainer in the game...
But, one negative comment about Floyd. And, all of a sudden Richardson is overrated and a fraud, a joke, a fake, an con man...
You guys are a joke.
co-sign
Please somebody name all the world champions Nazim Richardson brought up and trained...????
This should not even be a poll question.
I think nazeem is a better trainer overall because floyd senior is only good when it comes to training certain fighters while nazeem could adopt to training any stylist.
Once again name the fighter than Richardson has trained....this shit is a joke
Nazim and Floyd are both good trainers. Floyd senior just likes to think of himself as being better than everyone else. That's where little Floyd got it.
Sugar Ray probably knocked a few things loose in his head :lol1:

u too with the generalizations???dissappointed...
i dont think naz is a fraud. i think he's good at taking fighters to the next level. but he has yet to prove he can even build a true prospect.
I think they are about the same, Floyd Sr's only highlights are Floyd Jr and DLH.
Brother Naazim has B-Hop and Mosley as highlights.
difference is naz didnt build either of those fighters. may sr built may jr. from the bottom up.

i think floyd sr is the better trainer when it comes to building up a fighter. his one prospect, floyd jr. is the top fighter in the world. nazim had a few prospects, rock allen and dargan...neither have went anywhere even tho they were bein compared to and even beating guys like bradley, alexander and ward. tht tells me what i need to know
lol, he coached Hatton before and Hatton won.
Hatton walked in face first to those punches, not Sr's fault his boxer didn't listen to him. :rofl:
Actually, Roach predicted that would happen. Heck, he announced it beforehand. He knew that Hatton would go back to his old style of brawling as soon as he got shaken by a few hits.
He read his opponent's fighter perfectly and trained his fighter accordingly and the result was a spectacular two round complete demolition.
That makes Roach the real deal and Sr. the JOKE.
Atleast Nazim Richardson can say a sentence without sounding like a retard. Floyd Snr needs to look at his own training, If he was so great then why did his own son Floyd Jr drop him for Roger?
Nazim Richardson seems like a down to earth and honest person. I want mosley to win, But I think Floyd will win. Shane age not Nazim being the problem, But like anything in boxing you never know.
that shit made my day!!!!!!!
