      That is incredibly sad. I love Roger, he epitomises boxing to me.

      Best interview in years from Floyd. No wonder he wants to get out.

        all the crack and the two beatings chavez gave roger really got to him. roger before any damage done to him when he was young sounded real dumb like he already had a weak brain

          Damn. I've seen lotsa Roger video's & he seems cool outside of his normal self. Obviously I remember the switch to Floyd Sr as trainer not long ago, but I thought that was more a PR sorta thing then reality. Boxing & combat sports in general are no f#cking joke.

            How insensitive does one have to be to use his own uncle as an example for brain damage? Poor Roger's mental problems have just been made public to the entire boxing community. Way to go Floyd! I'm sure your uncle appreciates this very much.

              Get him some salt water!..... Just kidding

              That's very sad to hear. Roger is a cool dude and I wish him nothing but the best.

                  Some people in this thread showing a complete lack of class.

                    He had a lot of trouble answering a pretty simple question. Just in his gaze and all he definitely resembles someone much older than 54...

                      Floyd can see all the older generation around him.

                      His dad isn't in the best shape either.

                      Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, etc.

                      Floyd wants to leave the game and be like Sugar Ray Leonard in 10-15 years time.
