    It's really up to Roach and Manny but I would think not. Still, if Floyd was comfortable before then he may be comfortable now. What's the difference this time?

    These are all legitimate questions...... I'm not asking Floyd to do something that he doesn't want but heck, what was the purpose of these negotiations anyways!!!

          When given the option, Floyd chose Roger over Sr. So no, apparently he can't fill his shoes, champ.

Floyd can go either way..... and if he says that he needs to have his current corner then there are questions that need to be answered. Example, why then even have these negotiations if you knew that that this may happen....
            Exactly it's not like this was a big suprise! Why put on all this drama and in the end "oh by the way Roger is going to jail no can do"?

                He choose Roger because him and his father wern't getting along and not because Roger was the better trainer. You act like this stuff isn't all well documented or something.

                    They're getting along better now, why is Roger still his trainer and not Sr?

                    You want him to be trained by someone he has trouble getting along with?

                      Look at it like this. When Roger and his dad were both available for his pick he chose Roger EVERY time.

                      He didnt even let his Dad work the corner for the Baldi fight. Maybe because Oscar would most likely fire him if he did. But still... The cutman was in charge.

                      Just because Sr. is a world class and Top 5 trainer in boxing doesnt mean that Floyd prefers him over Roger. People are using that as crutch. Roger and Sr are two different people.
                      This post got lost in the shuffle.

                      But Let me add to it: People in here say all Roger does is the hold the mitts.

                      Ummm isnt Sr.'s job to hold the heavy bag?
