    It maybe improper for Mayweather Sr. to be at DLH side comes fight night but it's solely on Oscar's DISCRETION.

    I've read an article on another website wherein Sr. has discredited Roach saying that he's not qualified because "he knows nothing" which shows that Sr. is serious in taking the job.

      I remember the Corrales-Mayweather fight when Sr. was constantly cheerleading from the stands the entire fight. Unless there has been some real **** between them sincd then, its hard to imagine Sr. being totally behind the effort to destroy his own son.

        That's real possibilty. The Sr. being on the other side might be a "double edged sword".

          I don't see how it counts as much as people think. This is all sensationalism to me. It doesn't matter if Senior trains or is in the corner for De La Hoya; he's not going to transform him into something other than what he is in the space of a few months or on the night. De La Hoya has as good a chance of beating Mayweather if he comes in as good a shape as possible and fights hard, pressuring Mayweather the way nobody has succeeded in doing before.

          If anyone needs to be outlawed from the ring area it's Roger Mayweather. He already screwed up one big title fight when Junior fought Judah. He has proven that he has a volatile temper and will be just a few months out of the joint at the time of the fight. Not to discriminate because he has done a spell in jail, but who wants to see the biggest fight of the year go up in smoke because Roger Mayweather can't keep his head together?

            That's a ****ing bad bet.
            For me, I can't even get to the morality apect of the issue.

            I don't think Mayweather Sr. can be counted upon to focus COMPLETELY.
            I'm not sure I know anyone personally that I know that could.

            This is some serious ****. Family can trancscend even a stage as big as Mayweather vs. De La Hoya.

            Remember Roger's reaction when Judah rabbit punched Floyd?.............

            I wouldn't be surprised if there's a brawl on May 5th if Sr. trains Oscar...

            It could happen, **** anything could happen...

              PBF might be paying his dad a secret payment on telling him how to beat DLH. You never know? When PBF beats him in the first round by knockout 1 st round we will know why.
              PBF will retire with his legacy intact. I hope not. I hope Senior tell DLH all the secrets on how to knock his child out.

                Sr in the corner is better for boxing cause it adds to the buildup of this fight. I mean how many fans on the fringe will buy this fight because of that added subplot? It might not be the best pick for DLH but changing trainers and what he has come to expect in his training could be equally bad. This is one of those fights that if marketed correctly and both dlh and pbf behave like warriors this fight could help breathe some life back into boxing.
