Floyd doesnt respect trainers without ring experience

Would you trust a money manager who has never managed money? A doctor who has never performed surgery?

Disagree! (I am sure there has never been a boxer trainer with zero ring experience! Most trainers have ether fought amateur or at-least attending a boxing gym and trained there so? I think Floyd Mayweather is referring to PROFESSIONAL BOXING experience! He is entitled to his opinion, but i don't agree with it! (Sometimes in a profession you need a different kind of perception, to become the best! For example, i always remember watching the film APOLLO 13 starring Tom Hanks! Apollo 13 would not of made it back to earth safely without the extra perceptions, opinions and expertise of people that where not astronauts! And its the same in boxing and every other sport, sometimes you need to take advantage of more than ONE perception!

I understand why athletes feel this way in every sport, but I don't think it's some necessity. I know you can find incredible coaches and decision makers in other sports who never played, and I'm sure you could find trainers who never fought as well. Plus you'll often find that great players/boxers make for awful coaches and trainers.

What if Larry and Kigali were actually the same person. Lmao I could totally see it.

So, if you want to be a world champion, since floyd, your trainer needs to have been a world champion. Nah, his own father boxing experience is laughable, he was bad AF, and still he has been his trainer. I dont agree with him, maybe it can help the trainer to understand the fighter, but I dont agree with him.

There are no trainers without ring experience. Certainly not at the world level. Floyd saying stupid things as usual

I think hes right, just like any job or sport, how can you tell somebody to do this or that if you have never master that or felt what it feels to be in certain situations They can teach and be well knowledge, and it doesnt mean you cant be a good trainer, but id rather be with somebody that has been there before n guide hetter

In any sport a good trainer helps the athlete maximize his chances of winning. This means knowing what the athlete needs now to improve. The trainer with prior ring experience might have an advantage only if he can apply that experience specifically to that athlete. Sometimes a former elite boxer becomes a poor trainer because he lacks the empathy to understand the current state of an average athlete. This type of trainer had advanced skills that came naturally; so he has difficulty understanding the frustrations experienced by an average athlete. This then becomes an impediment to the athlete's overall development.

What if Larry and Kigali were actually the same person.

I agree. It's certainly possible to be a good trainer with no ring experience. A former pro boxer has the advantage of knowing exactly what his boxer is going through and that helps him be a better trainer.

I think it's always nice for your trainer to have experience in that department these days. That doesn't mean a trainer without boxing experience isn't or couldn't be a great trainer.

I agree with him in this. I wouldn't trust any trainer who hasn't himself experienced what he is trying to teach me. Thinking about beeing in the ring and actually being in the ring are 2 totally different universe. This is true for tennis, soccer, any sport.....but especially for boxing and other combat sports where the fight or flight response changes everything of what you know.

lol It's just Floyd, I wouldn't pay him any mind. He's wrong about 98% of the shit that comes out of his mouth.
