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

[livershot73]

At this point in their careers it doesn't matter who is in the corner. If either fighter is depending on that they've already lost. To me Roach seems desperate to find imaginary advantages.

He's also contradicting himself. He says Mayweather doesn't need a trainer in one sentence and in another he says je needs Roger.

I see it as mind games, nothing more....entertainment it becomes when Floyd Sr. and "Uncle Roger" respond!....

lol Roach is trolling Floyd Sr

Mayweather Sr is so easy lol

[livershot73]

All I hear Roger say is.. Whoop his A.ss..! over and over

"whoop his mutha-phuken ass!"...

this going to be a fun event all around...especially if Floyd, Jr. stands his ground more like he did w/ Maidana II....

He better not try that s**t with Ariza or he'll end up getting "Roadhoused" again

Na Justin fortune would put Alex ariza on his ass. I cant wait to hear roach in the corner telling him his go to line " he can't deal with your speed son". Manny at this point is a self made guy too. Roach has helped him become an all time great, but at this point roach has showed him everything he knows and Manny has alot of fighting knowledge and does know how to make adjustments in fights contrary to popular sentiment among you mayweather freaks. That would be awesome if pacquiao yelled out roadhouse! After he knocks out mayweather.

Roach is funny, he is overrated himself.

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.

I believe you

All the bravado Roach had before the fight was signed is gone.


"Its going to be a difficult fight!"

"Floyd's legs are shot!!"

now its " Roger is a better trainer!"


Lets be real about this, i'll translate what Freddie Roach really means


" Damn I wish Roger was training Floyd because he would come forward and be more offensive minded, giving Manny more chances to land...With SR. in the corner, Floyd will tell him to use his reach advantage, straight right, and box and move...that's gonna be difficult to overcome."

When Floyd sr took over, his son looked the best he has since coming back in 09 basically whitewashing former champions Guerrero and Canelo

[MRCHOKEaMF]

yeah cause with sr....floyd has lost......oh but with Roger he lost to..........oh thats right, no matter who is in his corner he always wins
but I do remember roach trying to wake up "sweet dreams" Pac, when he got pac'd out

[sicko]

Roach doing a lot of talking...A LOT!

Roger has far more experience in the gym than senior does. Both aren't very good at giving advice to combat an opponents offense and defense.
They don't have very much experience other than Floyd jr.
Who else have they trained from scratch that has ability?
Fighters may come to their gym for work but no one I know has ever been developed there.
Just look at the video of lil' Floyd acting like a fool when one of the members there got rocked.
you didn't see anyone teach how to take a knee? No one taught how to clear your head? No one talked about picking up the ref's count and how to clear your head! These guys are for themselves and when Floyd is done you won't see them
around anymore.

Imagine senior talking to YOU in a corner with a good fighter across the ring?
After 2 rounds of him I'd KO his azz! hahahaha...
Ray.

Mickey Bey has been working with Floyd Sr. for a number of years now and was pretty much developed under him. That's just for starters... And he also has a few new fighters that he's been developing pretty much from scratch, they're all at the beginning stages of their careers (Andrew Tabiti for example).
