Is Roger Mayweather a **** trainer/nothing special?

[Bring It On]

I'm sure he's a great trainer, but he seems to be an idiot imo.

[Xyei]

I remember in the Mosely fight after round 2 Roger M just saying:
"BOX HIM, BOX HIS ASS"

Surely after almost being dropped he needs advice/opinions on how to avoid that same situation.

I dont recall him giving Floyd sound boxing advice during a fight.

I think Floyd would do ok without a trainer, all the adjustments he made in the fight was his choices.

Roger didnt give him any tips/advice during the fight, just a simple:

BOX HIM!

Im not saying Floyd needs guidance in his corner, but Roger doesnt seem to give good advice between rounds.

I see what you mean but I think Floyd Jr. and Roger just click. Roger may not be the greatest trainer but that's who Floyd likes in his corner and obviously likes him as his trainer because Floyd could hire any trainer he wanted. A boxer and trainer must be on the same page otherwise it doesn't work, no matter how great the trainer is.

Just look at Emanuel Steward and Jermain Taylor. Emanuel is regarded as one of the best trainers in the game and he and Taylor just didn't click and their partnership was short lived.

I wish I knew some idiots like that.

I agree with you that Roger doesn't give great advice in the corners. However, I think that works well for Floyd Jr. Floyd Jr. obviously doesn't want/need a trainer that's overly strategic and vocal (could you imagine floyd trying to take orders from sergio martinez's trainer? lol) or he'd have his father in the corner again.

Roger, Floyd Sr. and Floyd Jr. are all under the impression that Floyd knows everything there is to know about boxing. His 41-0 pro record and 84-5 amateur record kind of confirm that.

All Floyd needs in the corner is a team to keep him calm and reassure him. He has that in Roger and Ellerbe.

****m doesn't think so.

Listen to the post-fight comments part#1 ... where ****m stated how he felt.


Or was ****m lying to the public just for show???

People seem to read too much into these corner conversations. Roger has never been the most eloquent of guys but neither is Roach. He's been training Floyd for a while now and has never lost with him so he's doing something right. I think it's to his credit that his corner remained calm after the 2nd round and told Floyd all he needed to know to take over the fight.
