What's the real reason Floyd decided to replace Roger for Sr.?

[OffDaChainChico]

I know that Jr. said it was due to Roger's deteriorating health but Sr. said in an interview there was more to it than that. Anybody have the insode scoop?

[ИATAS]

Probably cuz cotto roughed him up a bit

I think it was combination of Roger's health and Floyd fighting too flatfooted and getting hit too much in recent fights, especially the Cotto fight

Possibly, but I'm watching Floyd's fight against Canelo as we speak and Floyd stood toe to toe most of the fight. He actually walked Canelo down many times during the fight just like he's been doing in the last couple of years.

the less you get hit, the longer you get paid

That's because Canelo is a boxer puncher with a low work rate. Floyd really didn't need to use his legs much at all against a guy like that.

Natas you can describe Cotto the same way..

My thoughts exactly. I made the same point on the So boxing experts, how was mosley able to hurt floyd in the 2nd round? thread.

He was walking opponents down and getting hit more. Going back to his dad has him fighting on the back foot more.

It's more so that Floyd is being honest about his Uncles health problems, diabetes does cause many problems with eyesight which is very much needed in evaluating and analyzing. Floyd noticeably became less defensive in opt of more offensive approaches which is more of Rogers' school of thought. Floyd Mayweather sr. is an expert in defense and the conceptualizer of what Mayweather Jr. is suppose to be in the ring. He's the guy who molded Mayweather so he will know best of how to bring Mayweather back to optimal level and even exceed to new plateaus.
