Pacquiao fight? I think it was a mistake for Jr to switch trainers, I think Floyd would have beaten Pacquiao more convincingly had he had his uncle in his corner not his father.
And it's not because Roger was the better trainer, but simply for the fact that Floyd had been working with his uncle much longer and they developed a relationship where Roger would say one thing and Floyd would simply register and get it. You didn't have that communication with Floyd and Sr. Back then Floyd looked invisible under his father, and I noticed he was less sharp under Roger for his first couple fights, but eventually over time Floyd was able to get back to form.
I've criticized boxers in the past such as Cotto and Dawson for switching trainers often which obviously hurt their performance in the ring, in the case of Chad and Cotto they would have been a lot more successful had they just stuck with a trainer before they won the title.
what???????????????
I'm just saying dumb ass when a boxer decides to change trainers it sometimes effects their performance. It would be like if Ward were to get a new trainer for the Kovalev fight, it would definitely hurt his performance because no one knows what Ward is capable of other then Hunter. I'm watching first two rounds of Floyd Jr vs Cotto, he looked good, he looked sharp. I'm a Cotto fan so it's hard for me to watch the fight, but I'll stomach it.
its not what im saying!! its what floyd said! im just telling you what floyd said about roger's health. weirdo lol. i even said everyones body works different. did floyd lose with sr. in his corner??? here's what floyd said about the situation --
Both Floyd Sr. and his brother, Roger, are battling illnesses. Floyd Sr. has sarcoidosis, a disease affecting the lungs. Roger, uncle and longtime trainer to Floyd Jr. until now, has diabetes and apparently is not as healthy as Floyd Sr. Thus, the switch, Floyd Jr. said."
“Well, my dad – of course, he’s a boxing wizard and Roger’s a boxing wizard – so you can’t go wrong with either guy,” Floyd Jr. said. “My dad is the main trainer and, of course, like I said before, it’s not like I fired anyone. It’s just that my dad’s a little sick, but he’s a lot healthier than Roger is."
You are misinterpreting what I'm saying you dumb ass. Yes I'm aware it was Floyd's decision to replace trainers, but was Roger okay with it, did he feel like he couldn't continue training Floyd? Funny we haven't heard Roger's case, was he forced out?
Sometimes boxers don't know what's best for them. Just look at Chad Dawson, he was replacing trainers all the time, he thought he can look good under any trainer, and what look what happened to him.

Calm down with the insults you pr**k, but just how bad was the performance that a change in corners was necessary? I'm a big Cotto fan so it was hard for me to watch the fight.
yes, it was floyds decision someone feel free to correct me if im wrong on this. but after the cotto fight floyd said even tho he won he felt he got hit way more than he liked. and also he touch on roger's health which is not making him able to keep up with floyd in training. i've seen roger on the mitts with floyd, im not sure what fight he was training for but i remember floyd getting mad at roger because roger was messing up on the mitts with floyd. i remember after their mitts routine floyd told them to go at it again since he wasnt happy with it. and about roach, freddie actually says when he gets in there to train thats when he actually feels normal . i guess everyones body is different.
My dad has diabetes it doesn't prevent him from working out. Say what you want about Roger, Floyd stayed undefeated with his uncle in his corner for 12 years. Yeah a lot of had to do with Floyd's talent and skills, but Floyd keeping the same for 12 years was also a big reason why. But Sr did work with his son for 3 years prior to the Pacquiao fight.
Oh so it was Jr's decision. I didn't see the Floyd vs Cotto fight, but didn't Floyd win convincingly? And was Roger's health that bad that he could no longer train Floyd? I heard he had diabetes. Freddie Roach has Parkinson's but he's still able to train boxers.

because after the cotto fight, floyd said he felt he was getting hit too much, thats why he switched back to sr. and something about roger's health not being able to keep up with floyd in training or something.

lol hell no!! sr. actually gives out instructions! all i ever hear roger tells floyd is "keep touching that mother fucker"! "he aint got shit on you" ... i think you're just mad that sr. is very vocal so he tells it like it is.. like when he tells floyd to "stop fighting scared man"
I like both trainers, whatever improvements that Floyd Sr was suppose to bring I didn't see it which is understandable given Jr's age and that he is already a veteran. At times in the corner Jr looked lost. He had the same team for like 12 years prior to Sr becoming the head trainer, if it ain't broke why fix it?
