Originally posted by Harry Balls View PostI also feel junior was quite unfair when talking about seniors boxing career.
Senior paved the way for roger and junior. Learning the ropes through trial and error. He for sure passed along some of the what works and what doesn't to them, letting them have a much smoother ride.
Also he wasn't a bum by any means. It's just hard to live up to his brothers or especially his sons accomplishments.
Floyd sr is obviously an awesome athlete. Just look at how he can move and the shape hes in despite being a sick old man.
Notice how he mentioned Rog was there when he was locked up. So its still some type of animosity there

Yeah this is in no stretch of the imagination bad for boxing.
Bad for floyds image? Probably.
Bad for floyds money making persona? Not even close. Quite the opposite.
Do people think boxingfans or casual sportfans will watch this and say, "Omg, floyd jr is such a punk. How can he behave like that? I don't want to watch this sport no more."?
No.
They will say "what a ****ing *******. I can't wait to see Ortiz shut him up. "

I think people can separate what Floyd says from "boxing". People separate Michael Vick from "football".
Give people some credit.
I mean if you look at some of the biggest names in the sports, they are filled with guys who did things worse than Floyd has ever done.
Just the other day I watched a documentary on Ray Robinson in which his son told a story of his father punching him in the face when he was only 10-12 years old.
His son said he fell on the ground, look at his dad and stated "Do you feel like the champion of the world now Dad".
with that said.....again boxers and athletes in general are humans just like the rest of us and should only be looked at/judged for the entertaiment they bring in their respected sports.

Originally posted by CONQUERING View PostFloyd Jr is clearly still hurt from his dad not being there back when he was younger. I don't care what anyone says, that is the heart of the issue (s) that he has with his father. Lil Floyd is hurt by that, and its understandable. However, dude is 34 years old and needs to move forward. That "argument" didn't warrant the things that were said, mainly by Lil Floyd. He shouldn't have dissed his pops like that and man, I straight felt sorry for Floyd Sr.

Originally posted by MayMosPeaHop View PostI do not believe Sr. wants the best for Floyd. He is clearly jealous of Floyd and Roger's relationship, does not respect him as a man, and wants him to fall off his pedestal. What bothered me about the situation is over and over again SR is trying to be the man. If you come to Jr's gym and keep undermining the accomplishments of JR and his trainer, eventually there will be a blow up. This one happened to be on camera and I bet no one cared that the camera was on.
Personally, I could talk to my father like that. But only if he deserved it. The moderator of the show led in with statements explaining the dynamics of the people and the relation. Where is the shock? Especially for fans that know the family history.
people need to stop being so judgmental when you arent standing in the other persons shoes
