    yeah, i aint gonna lie i had a tear roll down my eye but not for him thou.

    my girl & me recently split up & my 3 yrd old soon is no longer with me. yeah i get him on the wknds, but it's not the same as havin him everyday you know.

    i felt for him as a father, i cant image havin a relationship like that with my own son

        I mean let it go from the stand point of forgiving the past. Sr. comes across remorseful and apologetic about the father he was (though unapologetic on what kind of trainer he was) while Floyd seems to hold on to getting his ass beat for no reason as a kid like it was yesterday. Those days of being scared of his dad and all. A lot of kids grow up like that and worse and turn out ok. I don't see the point in holding on to something like that, especially when he's no longer physically threatening to Jr. I think he would find it easy to let that go when he figures out that his father just didn't know how to be one. It also doesn't hurt that Sr.'s work ethic instilled into Jr. is directly responsible for him being so successful in boxing.

        My dad is like Sr minus the boxing (even down to the childhood crazy ass beatings for no reason), but I just ignore him when he tries to tell me what to do (I have sound fiscal reason not to listen for one), but that's only one aspect of our relationship, I've made our relationship where we can talk about anything other than him trying to be the boss of me. Little Floyd doesn't seem to know how to filter to me. He'd rather just not deal with his dad altogether when they butt heads, that's very unhealthy.

          I did feel a bit sorry for him. I dont want him to train hatton if he ever faces floyd again because I got a feeling that he will make sure that hatton loses the fight.

                His parents dont have alot of money and he makes about 30 an hour... Well he will help out his parents with money for them and the kids....

                Well his dad will get drunk and talk **** about how Leroy thinks he is a bad ass because he has money and that he doesnt need Leroy's help....

                Leroy will get mad talk ****...

                Then here come the blows....

                I cant believe haow father and sons or brothers and brothers cvan get in real fights and really try to hurt each other.... That is sad...

                    WTF Roy Jones dad used to beat him with pipes if he didn't shadow box right. He used to hit him with the car during road work and Roy still talks to him.

                      Dude seems like he's tried to get cool wit Mr boat buyer again, it just ain't happenin. They seemed like they patched **** up on the DLH 24/7 before, but that didn't last long. Nobody's place to really say who's to blame tho. It's a family thing.
