Floyd MAYWEATHER SENIOR: "He's Still My Son, But..."

[Pacquiao'd]

The old man has lung issues. He'd be completely gassed in 30 seconds.

cant believe they think Sr could remotely get busy with Jr

[johncods]

LMAO Floyd sr. is right tho. Jr was talking about how he gonna die for 50 like a f@g.

As usual, Mayweather, of Grand Rapids, belittled Roach.

"They've got Roach in the hall of fame. He should be in the hall of shame," he told the international media. "Let's tell the truth like it is: You see Freddie Roach training and you see me training, it's night and day. Don't even compare. Don't even come close. Freddie Roach is a joke. And that's why I say his name is Freddie 'The Joke Coach' Roach, as far as I'm concerned.

Roach didn't hesitate to fire back.

He, after all, recently was named 2008 Trainer of the Year by the Boxing Writers Association of America -- for an unprecedented third time.

"Floyd can read some good poems. That he's all good at that I know of. What has Floyd Sr. achieved? His son's a natural-born fighter. His brother, Roger, trained him anyway. Floyd never trained his son for a world title fight," he said. "He tells me he's the greatest (trainer), but what has he done?

"He trained Oscar De La Hoya after Oscar has already won four world titles," he added, for emphasis. "Floyd is a legend in his own mind."

The feud flared up again during a private media luncheon.

The animosity between the rival trainers stems from when De La Hoya fired Mayweather in 2007 and hired Roach to prepare him for a fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr.

A transcript of their latest verbal exchange Monday, captured by Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times, appeared on BoxingScene.com. Some of the highlights:

Mayweather Sr.: My man is all those good things we were talking about. And then you went over to Freddie 'The Joke Coach' Roach.

Roach: Please change that. Get a new line. That one's old.

Mayweather Sr.: It's old Freddie, but it's got to be used because you is a roach. You is a joke, Roach.

Roach: You were the greatest. Just shut up.

Mayweather Sr.: Freddie, don't get upset. We are all just here talking. I know I get up under your skin, don't worry about it.

Roach: Can I borrow some of your rings?

Mayweather Sr.: You can buy them. Sure you can.

Roach: I can't afford them.

Mayweather Sr.: You can't afford them? We both (got) a lot of money. Is that what you're trying to say. It's like the ****** thing you said before. You are in the Hall of Fame. No, you belong in the hall of shame.

Roach: I'm in the hall of fame. Are you?

Mayweather Sr.: I have to stand up when I hear a guy like you is in the hall of fame. You have to be joking me. Everybody knows that you are a joke. You know that you don't belong in the hall of fame. You know the old guy that died, Eddie Futch. I'm saying that because you didn't get in the hall of fame yourself.

Roach: Why aren't you (in there)?

Mayweather Sr.: You didn't get in the hall of fame yourself. You don't know nothing. We all know that you're punch drunk anyway.

Roach: And you're not? And you're not?

Yea Floyd did go over board and anyone saying he was right has issues,pops didnt even get mad until the end,Floyd blew that **** out of proportion couldve deaded it easily

[Larry the boss]

Thats bout how long a normal street fight lasts man,this isnt a boxing match.pops taught Floyd and is street id bet on pops in the streets

[DE100]

The old timer would kick Jr's ass in a street fight.

Its the fear/respect most sons have of their father physically, so it carries over to thinking the same with Sr and Floyd. When they wouldn't be saying this about any other man at Sr. age and health. As if him being his father gives him some magical power to beat his ass at his age and health.

Anyway hope they work it out, like they usually do. Fight, makeup, fight, makeup, fight, etc...

[Larry the boss]

Hold up hold up so you're attemping to diss the mans father cause floyd acting like a lil spoil brat???wow man,im out of here.....just cause you're a fan doesnt mean the man is never wrong

[cupocity303]

Off topic but, Floyd Senior has got to be the tallest of the Mayweather family. He looks way taller than little Floyd.

His boxrec doesn't say his height. How tall is he?

[Pacquiao'd]
