Comments Thread For: Roach: Floyd Sr. Be Like Ghhh...Ghhh...Ghhh...Get Em!

WAIT didn't the Mayweathers use to use Roach as a punching bag back in the day

Eddie Futch brought Roach out to help train him and live with him in Las Vegas with Futch family. The beef between Roach and the Mayweathers started around the mid 80s.

Floyd sr wasn't really as involved it was mainly between Roger and Roach, I am not sure they sparred but Roger was a huge **** head jerk and he would like to talk so much crap to anyone he hated and go hard in sparring, apparently Futch protected Roach and never let Roger spar him.

Roach even acknowledges Roger would have beat his ass.

Now this is just what I heard from someone else so I dont know if its 100 percent true but, Floyd sr and Roach beef escalated in the 2000's when Floyd sr almost trained Manny Pacquiao, after Manny defeated Lucero, Murad Muhammad was stealing money from Pac, and Roach said this is wrong and told them to stop, Roach quit and Murad Muhammad had two options to replace Manny Pacquiao, one was Teddy Atlas, the other was Floyd Sr. Teddy Atlas was immediately nixed because he refuses to train fighters outside of New York, if you train with Atlas he forces you to go to his terms and train in his gym nowhere else. Floyd sr almost replaced Roach, when Roach heard that his enemy Mayweather sr was going to replace him he decided to suck it up and put his difference aside before the Barrera fight and train Pacquiao.

Some say Roach never believed Pac would beat Barrera and was looking for an out, but one thing is for sure he rather train Pac and deal with a scumbag like Murad, rather than let Floyd sr who he despises train Pacquiao.

Roach and the Mayweathers beef has been going on for a super long time.

AFTER THEY PAYED OFF DEM SPARRING PARTNERS.....FAIR GAME.....its been like 6 years of bad blood.....It all started from Floyd Sr after cotto fight

As soon as someone mocks "Freddy the joke coach Roach", they'll be accused of taking advantage of a handicapped man. He can talk all the trash he wants but he should be careful about mocking anyone else's speech impediment since he has one due to Parkinson's disease.

If Floyd senior says something it'd be two handicap people trash talking each other, it's fair game. Freddie also didn't say anything wrong, because while Freddie can barely talk himself, he is much better in the corner. He doesn't talk for 20 seconds, then gives 1-3 things the fighter can work on during the fight or to watch for.

The only thing is that it doesn't matter who is in the corner and Freddie said it himself. Floyd only listens to himself and no one else, the only time I hear him care is whether a round was close and he wants an opinion from the outside and it's usually Leonard. It's all a moot point but I find it funny as hell and it just makes me cheer for Pac more.

Doesn't Mayweather Sr. have Emphysema? One of the symptoms of that is breathing problems and slurred speech. I'm sure it's not entirely down to that but i think it's a big part of his speech becoming worse.

I'm sure he does have that and if so, Roach should not mock because he himself has an illness and wasn't too happy when people mocked him.

I'm all for trash talk on both sides but mocking Parkinsons or other illnesses is just taking things too far.

Roach trying to provoke the Mayweathers to mock his Parkingson so the everyone (even the judges) sympathize when PAC is shut out. He'd do anything to try together an upper hand in a losing battle that's slowly approaching 5/2
