    Its not very often you'll hear me say this, but... vB Martin is 100% correct on this one! I think Mayweather is a horrible trainer. Maybe not the worst, but nowhere near the top.

      lol

      There's no reason to think this is true unless you hear Roy saying it. Otherwise, it's best to ignore it.

      Roy sped up his decline by damaging his body when coming down in weight and losing muscle mass to do so. The effects of that were physical and mental. Add to that the fact that he is 35, then he will not be looking to change his style.

      Roy was the man. He is my favorite fighger ever. However, his best days are behind him and although I would be excited to see him back, it's much more likely that he will lose now then in the past.

      BTW...Roy was never "exposed" to have a bad chin. He took good shots vs Tarver and Ruiz, so that would be jumping the gun. I think Tarver caught him with the perfect shot and it just messed him all up from that point on, perhaps. We are not scientists, so let's not pretend to be.

              I think you totally missed my point. The only reason that Mayweather is even a trainer is because he has a son with enough natural talent to not need a REAL trainer.

              Name me a good fighter besides PBF that Mayweather has improved? I think we can already rule out DLH.

                    this is ridiculous Jones should hang up his gloves because the fact of the matter is that NO ONE cares about Tarver

                      His best defensive advice to DLH was to "take a round off".
