Is Floyd Sr being classless by bashing and making fun of Roach?

[tjose385]

Had Roach been a normal functioning human being, i can understand all the back and forth trash talk, but the fact is, Roach is a very ill man. I like Floyd Sr, but i feel his taunting of Roach by calling him "Freddy the joke coach Roach", and all the other things that he's said about roach is a bit over the line, and classless in my opinion.

What do u guys think?

if floyd wanted to really get disrespectful he could. he just says he is a joke as a trainer, and doesnt belong to be in the HALL OF FAME. Freddy says that Big Floyd needs a translator because no one understands him, but Floyd could easily say the samething back to him............but he chooses not to.

Senior got some lung illeness that makes him go into coughing fits. What is the difference just because Roach aint 100% doesnt mean he is a cripple or ******ed it is all in hyping the fight is all. They are the two best trainers in boxing and they got a little rivalry going good for them....Lefty

nah i would say he's being classy. its just trash talk and roach is doing his part too. i think roach went too far when he talked about sr. being shot in the leg. sr. never talked about parkinsons from what i recall.

It would be good if Hatton does win, especially by KO like Sr. predicts, that Sr. turns around and is humble towards Roach; shakes his hand like fighters do after a hard fought battle.

Some of it may actually be to help boost Hatton's confidence in both Sr. and Ricky himself. But I don't know. Some of it seems personal between Sr. and Roach...although more so Sr.
I don't know if Roach has ever really gone after Sr.'s ability to train a fighter or his knowledge of the game. I remembr Roach even saying Sr. may be a good trainer but it doesn't matter with this fight because he {Freddie} has the better fighter.

I think Sr. actually may know more than Roach in certain things in boxing and is probably the better trainer but Roach has been in a position to get the accolades and many more want to dismiss Sr.'s role in building Jr.
An "Artist" only needs one masterpiece. For Roger's influence: True, but I thought I heard Roger followed and was taught by Sr. as well at some point.

Either way; I hope things work out for the best and all is good on both sides after the fight.

I do think both Sr. and Hatton need this victory more for legacy purposes.

Theyre rivals...

Sr.. never onced made fun of his conditioning....


They dont like each other......

So theyre BOTH talking shyt.

That is true. The old man has a little more class than we give him credit for. It shows he knows what it is like to suffer from an illness as he too suffers from a pulmonary disease as was mentioned in 24-7

Yup, like I said, Roach aint no saint and he aint no victim. He can say some pretty nasty things, that you are right about.
