Is Floyd right to postpone the Pacquiao fight, if Roger isnt in his corner for it?

Roger still trained him i think. If Rogers jailed, then he wont be able to train him or be in his corner.

I'm sure he still trained him for the baldomir fight. Someone correct me if im wrong.

And dont forget the opponent as well. Pacquiao ent no Baldomir.

Yes, he has every right/privileges to decline because I don't want to hear any ALIBIS if he loses to Pacquiao.

This pisses me off. If President ***** would just pardon Roger this bull**** would not be an issue.

He has every right to. This is going to be arguably the biggest fight in Floyd's career, he's going to want and need his head trainer in his corner.

At this point in Floyds career having Roger there is overrated. Floyd knows how to train and strategize a fight at this point. Floyd has the advantage to have a trainer like his father that other fighters don't.

If you watch between rounds Roger doesn't give any valid advice, Floyd pretty much does it on his own, and makes his own adjustments.

Floyd could train and prepare just as well with his father, if this was earlier in his career I'd understand but not at this point.

This would just be a bull**** excuse to not take this fight and try and justify it to fans, the sad thing is some fans will accept this.

If we were to not have Roger at this point in his career for one fight is overrated.
