Floyd Sr gave some great advice during the Big Fight.

[_original_]

It honestly felt like Floyd Jr. just had him in his corner for the sake of having somebody there. He pretty much went out and did what he felt was needed (like a lot of boxers often do). In between round corner man advice is a tad overrated IMO, the fighter/trainer already have their gameplan set. There's been a few occasions one can think it made a big difference, but I think people put too much stock over what's said during a fight between the guys working the corner. I recall Floyd finally throwing more left hooks in a round only to be told by Sr. that, "I ain't seen you throw one left hook yet!" Floyd Jr. sort of just had this blank look on his face and went out and fought his fight.

Agreed...someone who's been doing it that long knows what they need to do. Sr. Must have thought he was cornering jr lightweight /lightweight floyd...when he used to put combos together and get into exchanges at the expense of his defense.

I agree with u in the sense that it man vs man in the ring, but alot of times adjustment are needed and it help to have eyes on the outside to tell u what u might not see.

Floyd doesn't necessarily need a corner man because he sees pretty much everything and makes his own adjustments.

Sr and Jr dynamic was interesting tho. I think ultimately Sr was right on point even if Jr had everything in control. Jr also acknowledged that Sr wanted more from him

Personally I like Roger in his corner better.

Senior clearly expected more, and still expects more. Whether that is to keep his son motivated or because he doesn't realize Mayweather can't do what he thinks he should be doing anymore, I don't know.
