Roach, Mayweather Sr. Exchange Words at Media Dinner

[QUISQUEYA]

mayweather sr is just as annoying as jr when they open their mouths and it may be contaguios if you hear ricky hatton lately.this is what separates agood coach from a underacheiver one trying to be recognized.roach deserves the hall of fame and mayweather sr deserves the hall of shame!

Based on what? based on his work with Manny Pacquiao?

Will you then put uncle Roger in the Hall of Fame? Because Roger has more accomplishments as a fighter (certainly), and prolly more accomplishments as a trainer.

* no, I'm not confusing Roger with FMS

[QUISQUEYA]

seriously, the best part of floyd sr. is the padwork and the trash talk.

roach is better than floyd at developing a fighter from the ground up

Please name 'em.

I have met Freddie many times and let me tell you you cant find a more classy person. Mayweather sounds like a thug that belongs on the streets, what a moron and disgusting person this guy is

[shadeyfizzle]

This makes me almost feel like wanting to watch the trainers fight more than the actual fighters fight.

[p4p-champ]

At least it gives us something to get entertained with before the fight...need something to hype it up with. Like i said in another post, if it wasn't for Roach the joke Coach and Mayweather sr.; there would be nothing more than Hatton and Pacman admiring each other while blowing kisses.

I am normally amused by Floyd Sr's antics but I think that was below the belt calling Roach "punch drunk", they both have brain damage and I dont really think its nothing to joke about.

Other than that the rivalry makes this fight exciting.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Roach has trained 18+ world champs and has 3 trainer of the year awards. His most recent champ is also the most recent guy he trained from the ground up-olafabi. Do you ever express an opionion based on fact or knowledge. Roach may not be the best trainer but he has hof credentials. Nacho and Nazam are def up there. Roger is 3rd tier- behind fms

[WESS]

don't you think roach has a little something to do with pac's success?

what has floyd sr. done?

just because you guys like floyd jr. and just because floyd jr. is good doesn't mean floyd is a great trainer.

how long does his fighters even stay with him? a couple of years? a few fights?

you bring up toney as if freddie can do anything about what fat boy eats.

he's a grown man. i'm sure freddie told him to not come in so heavy but you know toney ain't listening to no one.

that's why you watch a trainer when he brings up a fighter. who has floyd sr. brought up? floyd jr.?

so i guess roy jones dad is "the greatest trainer in the world" too.

HAHA.. Look at Enzo Calzaghe... Shyt trainer but his son is......... well undefeated.

I have respect for both Roach and Sr. They just need to think of something good to say. I was waiting for one of them to say. O yea....your mom!

[joseph5620]

defence is not what hatton needs in this fight.

hatton needs to be in pac's face and not give him space to snap his punches.



as far as floyd sr.'s tactics......first thing that comes to mind for me about floyd sr. is when he had oscar laying on the ropes trying to do shoulder rolls against steroid filled vargas who looked like a super middleweight that night.

Oscar won the fight though didn't he?

Walt.. I asked you to name the fighters that Roach developed. And you could not.

Did he "develop" James Toney? Is Olafabi really a "champion"? Really?
