Floyd Sr. -" I don't think Pacquiao is a good fighter"

[cuzfozzy]

who cares what floyd snr says. he promised so much with hatton
and the guy got knocked out in 2 rounds. if he's so good
he should go train a champion i'm sure people are lining up
to be trained by him after the great work he did with hatton rotfl

[JOM'S]

what a joke, he could not even have a relationship with his fighters, I mean they get him on a one fight basis ....

IMHO Roach is def the better trainer...

[Hitman Hodgson]

let's ask roger what he thinks about floyd sr. and freddie......

Can someone translate what Roger just said?

They just sound like poor sports. It just makes Freddie Roach look better and better every time they talk about him.


It's like he is the Roach-Pacquiao advertising agency and marketing director.


You can't ask for better publicity than that.

LIKE father like son.... Mayweather sR. aint a trainer but a milk drinker... that's y his own son disowned him for a trainer heheheh

Trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. joined the 8countnews.com podcast recently to discuss his fighter, Ricky Hatton, being KO’d within two rounds by Manny Pacquiao last Saturday, the tension within Hatton’s camp leading up to the fight, a potential showdown between his son Floyd Jr. and Pacquiao and his thoughts on opposing trainer Freddie Roach following the fight.

In this exclusive interview. Mayweather claims that Hatton not following their game plan and training on the side with Team Hatton member Lee Beard are to blame for the loss.

“You got to listen to your corner, simple as that. And like I said once before there was turmoil in the camp.” Mayweather says.

According to Mayweather, the turmoil was Lee Beard giving Hatton additional training sessions outside of theirs.

He goes on to explain the turmoil saying, “It showed up in the fight. Not because of me. It showed u in the fight because he had another person training him when I wasn’t around and sometimes when I was around”

“He guided Ricky in the wrong way”, says Mayweather.

On the topic of a Mayweather Jr. – Pacquiao clash down the road, he favors his son to win and even goes as far as saying that, “I don’t think Manny Pacquiao is a good fighter”.

On the topic of Pacquaio trainer Freddie Roach who he has referred to in interviews as Freddie “The Joke Coach” Roach and “The Cocharoach”, he talks about the respect he has for Roach putting all his effort into boxing despite suffering from Parkinson’s disease, much like Mayweather trains fighters while ailing from sarcoidosis.

However, he then adds.

“Do I think Freddie Roach is a good trainer? No.”

basically pacman is going to get his ass handed to him by roger's nephew. that all that needs to be translated. roger is dead on too. pac is in for a beating of his lifetime when he meets pretty boy in the ring.

[AntonTheMeh]

eh.i doubt he had anything good to say about hatton prior to the mayweather fight.so at this point, I'll take i his opinion with a humorous grain of salt.

Dont run off at the mouth spoutin nonsense. Even if Floyd were to outclass Manny it would be a one-sided pot shot fest. Floyd isnt going to beat on him thats for sure. Mayweather may be able to outbox him all night but if goes out there and tried to put a Gatti type beating on him hes gonna get hurt.
