Scully Reacts to Mayweather's Attacks on Roach

[Deeznuts]

Hey ice, other than Rivera what known fighter do you currently train?

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

Floyd as a PERSON is a turn off..he tries to hard to make himself a part of the show, reciting poems, etc..he tries to make it like without him the fighter is nothing... and I dont think thats a good approach.

[Deeznuts]

I understand but, you have to admit from a trainer's point of view doesn't he piss you off?

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

LOL I dont have it out for the guy..This article is a surprise to me.... my boy emailed me some questions and I answered them, thats all....I didn't pursue it.....I come here and post about EVERYTHING...I am on this board for years and now all of a sudden people make it like I am out for Floyd Sr.....I am making comments just like you..and you..and you and you and you and you...u know?

[Deeznuts]

Damn, Scully you really have it out for Mayweather. Is it because of Dawson? You're really attacking him with threads and articles. By the way, why would Sr. train other fighters for little money but turn down 500,000 to train Oscar? Now that's just ******.

PS....I also am lucky in that I dont take these things personal. I know for FACT 100 percent that there are 2 areas that I made Chad what he is now...his jab and his bodyshots... Those are ME. When I got him he was already super slick, reflexes, good feet, let his hands go etc.....he had no jab and no body shots, though, 9especially thebody shot with the left hand) and thats what I gave him. I will never let any trainer, mayweather or whoever, take that away. but when Chad had to leave it was easy for me to let go. I have my gym and my amateur kids, including an amateur featherweight who is like a son to me, a kid who I will make sure NEVER turns pro no matter what he does (and he is good, holds amateur wins over Jose Aguiniga, David Martinez, Vequan Kimbrough and Adam Carrera among others) and I would choose the guys I have right now over leaving and training a big time super star if it meant leaving my guys I have now.

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

interesting that you say that...I knew all along that Chad would do that and now you picked up on it....the thing is this: When I was with Chad he said I was the best trainer out there...when he got with Dan he said the same thing......Chad never trashed me but when he left Dan he kind of did....before he got with Floyd Sr. I told my guys here, I said "watch, no matter who Chad goes with next he is going to say they are the best trainer" and, bam, here it is. What Chad is doing is clear to me...its kind of like this.. when u get remarried and your new wife is standing there on dinner party night with the tune casserole she just cooked...you don't tell everybody how your first wife was the best cook you ever knew. You know? The thing is, too, and I say this in the article in regard to Oscar...sometimes newer isnt exactly "better" it is newer and it is different and a new change, breath of fresh air. New things seem better in many cases in all walks of life. It always remains to be seen, that's all.

Mayweathers getting all the credit for Dawson, what about his past trainers?

Dawson gets annoying everytime he speaks he says the same thing over and over, how Mayweather is the greatest trainer ever.

that's the bad part about being a trainer. You can work your ass of for somebody, but your investment is only ever as safe as the guy's loyalty. Other times, you just have to realize the guy might be better off with someone else.

I'm sure Ice has made his peace with the situation. A trainer has to learn to let fighters go if he wants to last (albeit, seeing one of your fighters with a prick like Mayflower sr. doesn't make that easier).

Oscar has a great chance to put a dent on PBF's jaw with that quick, short left hook. It's his coup de grâce. But how often can he do it?

This could be his last fight. So expect him to fight with his heart, even if he's not winning. However, at 154, I'm not sure if the shorter, lighter, Mayweather can be as affective with his punches.
