Will the Loss of Roger Affect Floyd?

[LostGuy]

even if roger wouldnt be there which dude pointed out its only for vegas check it that just means roger cant be floyds trainer officially
if they fight in vegas then jeff can just do what roger did on the fight nights themselves in vegas

nobody can control who actually trains floyd its just the title they can control in that state

[King Koyle]

I don't think it will affect him much.I think Floyd listens
to and respects what Roger says,but in the end does his own
thing.Kinda like Roy.Although probadly not as bad.

I think it will effect him.

If he got two fights one with Margarito and maybe Zab or Hatton.


If he is winning without Rogers he is already in Hall of Fame IMO but winning without Roger will make Floyd a boxers who knows how to boxs in different sitaution. He fought many guys the strong, smart and the fast and he outsmarted them all. from Zab to Castillo to Chavez and many others just show how Floyd could take the pressure.


On extrme case is when Zab lowblow and rabbit punched and he took it clam and mature. If any other fighter had that sitaution I would think it will be a another riot or a lowblow example of Hatton-Tszyu where Tzyu lowblowed Hatton and then Hatton lowblowed him.

He should get his dad to train him while Roger is suspended. He should be with someone that gives him that family comfort that Roger gave him.

That would be a big mistake-- His pops still talks mad **** about him-- He'll be just fine, remember Roger can still train him, but just not be in his corner the night of the fight-- Floyd already should know what he has to do in the ring---

He should get his dad to train him while Roger is suspended. He should be with someone that gives him that family comfort that Roger gave him.

Other states boxing commisions usually honor Vegas suspensions, like when Tyson was suspended and the only place that would let him fight was Memphis. Most recently the Evander Holyfield suspension which has prevented him from fighting in the US. NY, Nj (Atlantic City) and most other major boxing states usually honor a Vegas suspension.

No effect and here's why

1) Floyd doesn't have to fight in Vegas. He'll go to Atlantic City or New York for his next fight, though I would not suggest New York. He could fight at Staples Center (don't think he fought there yet) or even in his hometown (Grand Rapids). He doesn't need Vegas. Vegas needs him.

2) Floyd doesn't need a trainer. He knows what he's doing in there to the point that the only purpose corner people serve is hyping him up and telling him how good he's doing.

3) Floyd makes his own in-fight adjustments. He knows how to adjust during a fight on his own, which is what trainers are for.

Mayweather will be perfectly fine

Good point but Floyd is the Pound for Pound Champ with huge fights coming up. I dont think those places would treat him like they would Tyson who most of them dont like anyway and was on the downside of his career
