    Question: Floyd Mayweather Sr.

    Would Floyd Mayweather Sr still be talked about being such a great trainer if his son wasn't Floyd Mayweather Jr?

    I think so. He's trained some good fighters outside of Lil Floyd

        well think about it........he created Floyd Jr.......he taught him everything Floyd Jr. knows......and not everything Sr. knows.

          I seriously doubt it. Other than the work with his son, who has he developed or been with for more than one or two fights? I honestly do not know. And u have to really ask yourself..if HE himself didnt talk about how great he is as a trainer, especially as a defensive trainer, would people really say that he was as such?

            We'd still be talking about him, because he also trains Joan Guzman. And Floyd Sr. gets no real credit for training Floyd, Roger has the lock on that. Floyd Sr. is famous for Oscar and the others.

              ive always thought the mayweather brothers were overrated just because of the name. they havent developed champions like other trainers.
