Ellerbe says...I say....

[bigtime9]

As ignorant as you are YOU could have made Floyd a millionaire with his talent etc.

more jealousy..how many talented fighters have you ruined. we all know you were **** as a professional so how could you ever make it big in boxing. You are a bitter ex-fighter who is jealous of the success of floyd's cornerman..how pathetic

Do u HONESTLY think Ellerbee is responsible for Floyds success??

Of course only an idiot thinks boxing is not a business. leonard has kept floyd focused and watched his back and his money. Without a good team you can end up like meldrick taylor or terry norris, michael nunn, iran barkely.

Who am I to talk about him? I talk about his use of the word JOKE to describe a world champion boxer and I am more than qualified to do so. If u want to ask your uncle Lenny to give you his boxing background I would love to see the look on your face when he tells you he has none

hatton is a joke

[DLT]

whats up with you? Dude you put the N in Nuthugger! I bet your a real follower, however thats no excuse for you to not call a guy out when he's being a straight up punk like Ellerbee. Yeah Ellerbee might be a legitimate part of Team Mayweather but he better not be surprised if one day making comments like this doesnt get him knocked on his ass.

STFU Clown. You guys are acting like little girls. Its easy to defend someone when people are throwing out garbage like this. Can you even believe this thread? He can say something about Hatton like everyone else can. This is boxing. Everyone talks **** from the top to the bottom. I dont care if its the fighter, the promoter, the trainers, the writers, the fans, and whoever. Grow the **** up, punk

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Leonard Ellerbe seems to be a reasonable man.

Ellerbee is a classic Yes man, and if Floyd's boat ever sinks he's building a nice resume when a position opens up as a yes man for a rapper. I dont often use this word but I hate people like this guy. If I was Hatton, and he was ****** enough to make these comments to my face I'd knock that gay little moustache right off of his face!

It's 2:30 in the morning on Tuesday, and Leonard Ellerbe's phone is ringing. It's Floyd Mayweather Jr., as usual. Time for Ellerbe to go to work.

He heads off to meet Mayweather for a run followed by a workout at the gym. Calls in the middle of the night don't bother Ellerbe. In fact, they're customary. The Washington native gladly sacrifices the sleep because he'll do whatever it takes to help Mayweather stay on top of the boxing world.




"So many people are jealous of our relationship," Mayweather said this week. "We're best friends and we're going to continue to work hard and be the best we can be."

Ellerbe is Mayweather's personal adviser. And his strength and conditioning coach. And his business representative. Basically, Ellerbe said, it's easier to list the things he doesn't do for Mayweather than those he does.

"Floyd's job is to take care of business inside of the ring, and my job is to take care of business outside of the ring," Ellerbe said via phone from Las Vegas this week. "That combination makes his job that much easier. He can just focus on the task at hand, and that is whupping [butt]."

Ellerbe will try to help Mayweather do that, too, tonight when Mayweather (36-0, 24 KOs) fights Carlos Baldomir for the WBC Welterweight Championship at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Ellerbe will be in Mayweather's corner due to the absence of Mayweather's uncle and trainer, Roger Mayweather, whose license was revoked by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for his role in a melee during Mayweather's unanimous decision over Zab Judah in April.

Ellerbe was suspended for four months and fined $50,000 for his role in the skirmish, but he's back now and happily admits his presence won't make a difference. Mayweather, he says, is in control no matter who is in his corner.

"My outlook on it is a trainer can't get in there and fight for a fighter," Ellerbe said. "A trainer can get in there and prepare a fighter, but it's up to the fighter to go in there and execute the game plan."

There was a time when Ellerbe, 41, was the fighter. When he was 13 years old, living near 42nd Street and Benning Road Northeast, he idolized Sugar Ray Leonard and developed a love for boxing. He would take three separate buses each day to a gym in Hillcrest Heights. There, he learned how to box and, in his words, got "busted up."

"Once you come into a gym, once you get the basics down, then they throw you in there with the wolves," Ellerbe said. "That's exactly what happened. I hung in there. I always had a tough mentality. I never wanted to give up. I was getting beat up every day. I mean every day. But I stuck with it."

Throughout his time at Spingarn High, Ellerbe soaked up the sport. He learned about conditioning and strength training while pursuing his amateur career. "Bad luck," he says -- broken hands and other injuries at inopportune times -- derailed any chances of making it big. Still, he was determined to make a living in boxing despite joining the Air Force and moving to Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada.

About 25 years ago, Ellerbe met Roger Mayweather at a gym in Nevada. Mayweather trained Ellerbe for a while and introduced him to his teenage nephew, Floyd. Ellerbe's relationship with Roger and Floyd blossomed. Meanwhile, his own career petered out after about 40 amateur fights.

Shortly after Floyd turned professional following the 1996 Olympics, Ellerbe moved to Las Vegas and began helping Floyd with odd jobs and some conditioning. He has been with Floyd during Floyd's ascent to boxing stardom, and his list of responsibilities has lengthened over time.

With that comes sacrifices, Ellerbe said. He is single and lives alone in Las Vegas. He is on call almost constantly. But he wouldn't have it any other way.

"I have fun on my job," Ellerbe said. "Granted, I work from 18 to 20 hours [a day], seven days a week. My whole livelihood revolves around Floyd Mayweather. I'm okay with that because it's a choice that we make in life. It's a sacrifice, but I truly love my job."

like young jeezy said "I luv it"

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

Rough Translation....he picks Floyd up to take him running, makes PR calls, appointments etc. I don't care if also he cooks his meals, washes his clothes and armor alls the car, Ellerbee - "a guy whose amateur career petered out after 40 amateur fights" - is in no way qualified to call Ricky Hatton anything but SIR

[Red_Menace]

ellerbe has been further then john scully that's for sure. Leonard Ellerbe was floyds advisor and with his help floyd landed the biggest fight in boxing history. what big fight have you been in that comes close to that. don't hate because leonard is a millionaire and you're, well a washed up has been.

You're hilarious. You have no idea what you're talking about.

[Domain]

all that don't mean ****, leonard ellerbe has been in boxing for many years and can speak his mind on hatton just like your racist ass posts non-stop about how much you hate floyd. Ellerbe is more successful then scully so scully needs to stop hatin because he is a has been.

Your a ****ing ******* coward! go get the ****outta here where is the MODs ban this guys ip. your disrespectful...your a fanatic unless your apart of floyd entourage and being paid but your probally some chump who has a crush on floyd jr.

whats up with society when they can disrespectfully talk down to someone like this? how are you still here the mods are sleeping? kermit cintron used to post on here i heard and some Fool was talking **** saying he wasnt the real cintron and dissing him and he never came back cause of you keyboard tough guys acting immature.

you know floyd jr wouldnt even give you the time of day at least john scully is here giving people his opinions and inside look on pro boxing while you are just some kid behind a computer...man i would knock you out my self.

[bigtime9]

lol.......cool but it just makes Floyd look like a puppet that can fight.....which I tend to agree with also.

floyd mayweather jr. the undefeated 5-time wolrd champion, multimillionaire ten times over is a puppet. Naw kid he's just smarter then your dumb ass
