Am I the only one who felt that way when the showed the old clips of Sr? I hadnt seen him fight before. He reminded me of the way that little Floyd use to fight in the lower weight classes. They throw there punches and combos the same exact way and the day had kind of the same type of head movement. Its like he taught his son to fight exactly like him except obviously the son has more talent

As much as I dislike Mayw Sr., he must have done something good. If you see Roger Mayweather vs. Vinnie Pazienza, maybe Roger's best performance. Roger sports an unusual shoulder roll defense. When asked about it in the interview aftewards he credits his brother for that. Now, while it is widely known that the "shoulder roll" is not his baby, he must have interpreted it pretty good if his entire family (who hates him) gives him credit for that.

In general I think Floyd Jr. is a smarter fighter than Floyd. Sr., his brain more than his style is what make him great, but it's no surprise that early Mayweather Jr. fights a lot like the guy who trained him most of the time until then.
