Comments Thread For: Roach: Mayweather Corner Tainted, Floyd Sr. Terrible

I prefer roger in the corner but his health is probably a liability at this point. Floyd sr seems to know a lot but its the way he goes about it.

He seems to always want to make sure he gets credit while roger doesn't care so long as Floyd wins.

I was in the gym with Floyd from his second fight until he won his first title from Genaro Hernandez. I also trained under Roger at that time. 100% Floyd is the fighter he is today because of Roger. Floyd used to get beat up by Sugar Ray Collins and James Crayton every day in the gym. Roger fine tuned him. Floyd Sr is just a deadbeat dad who came around when his son was already rich and started claiming credit. Muhallad Alis dad did the same thing, claiming full credit because he used to give Muhammad pieces of steak when he was an infant.

Damn, I didn't know about that, I mean about Ali's dad. That's some ****.

The thing is, Floyd Sr knows his stuff, but he is too arrogant and unprofessional. He needs to focus more on his pupil and less on himself. The way he badmouths Ariza since Floyd hired him is childish and unprofessional, because it fosters bad blood in a camp that truly doesn't need it, or have time for it. He needs to learn how to be humble and look at what is best for his charge, and not his ego.

Sr is more defensive minded while Roger is more "box this MFer", tts really all i hear from from roger

I think being taught by both makes floyd the fighter he is today-complete.

Both fighters' egoes will probably be too big to start listening to their corners anyway. Remember when Pac decided to 'test' how hard Cotto punches by voluntarily leaning at the ropes? That wasn't Roach's gameplan lol. And Floyd is Floyd, I always thought that Floyd does his own thing anyway and adapts to whatever situation he's in and he always succeeded. Doubt he ever relies on his corner for advice, he's smarter than both his uncle and dad combined.

Roger is the better trainer. He was the one who built Floyd from the ground up.

Floyd Sr. Is a terrible trainer, Roger is much better.

Yeah, you've said that twice with no basis other than parroting Roach.

[Thickback]

Sr gives better advice and makes more adjustments during the fight. Roger doesn't say much. BUT, Roger is more offensive oriented so Roach should be happy about that but, he shouldn't feel overconfident because Floyd boxes more and seems more sharp under Sr, with better movement.

That's actually not true at all.
