Comments Thread For: Freddie Roach Would Reject Floyd Mayweather Training Approach

[bronx7]

Parkinson's or not Freddy trained many a champ look it up. Look up how many Floyd senior and roger trained besides Floyd. If you listen Floyd said he takes away whatever the guy does good leaving them helpless he is a genious in the ring highest IQ since sugar ray.

I honestly believe Mayweather never had game plans for his fights. He just went out there and won.

Or maybe he was fooling us all and spent tons of time watching video of his opponents.

Mayweather is the best adapter in boxing he works a guy out in a round or two , he adapts on the fly better than anyone .

Talent is the guy that can hit what nobody else can hit , Genius is the guy that can hit what nobody else sees .

I was about to say 'in before pact@rds turn on roach'...too late.

These fools are like moths to a flame.

I sincerely doubt that. He's too much of a control freak to not know what he's going into. He'll obviously say otherwise, but he'd be lying.

That parkinsons is really affecting roach worse then we thought

Did you even read or did you just decide to take a cheap shot at the guy's disability?


Anyhow, deep respect for Roach stepping out of character and sharing honest words for Money.

Being a Genius is creating, Ali was a Boxing Genius. Floyd more of a Marketing Genius IMO.

Mayweather didn't create sht, he learned (shoulder roll, slick attitude, countering) from other people (basically what Roach stated), mostly his uncle and father, then the fighters surrounding the gym/family.

Mayweather also was a gifted athlete with blazing speed, a hard head/chin and pop (under 140 lbs).

Agreed about Mayweather being the best adapter.

Mayweather the best student of the game, then mastered all of his tricks.

He's a boxing kid, just like Ward and Roy Jones, also boxer/trainer sons.

Those profiles are the most fondamentaly sound fighters.

Those guys once they could walk laced up gloves and started some sparring.

What you learn as a kid prints a lot more in your head.

Pretty much different than guys like Pacquiao or Hopkins who picked boxing as teenagers or young men but were born fighters due to their tough life.

genius is getting hit a lot cleaner than you hit your opponent and yet still winning a fight. it takes years and years to build that type of conditioning into people's minds. he's not losing...he can't be. he's doing what he always does...he must be...the punches tell a different story but the punches aren't the story and that is his genius. creating a person/reputation/standard that supercedes the actual fight so that whatever happens in said fight is what he wanted to happen.

I swear to God this was the same thing i was thinking when i was watching him live against Mosley, I saw him rocked TWICE but by the end of that round he was walking Mosley down, by the third round he was showing Mosley his right hand and walking him down even more. I thought to myself why was he doing that? Doesn't he follow a game plan set out for him or does he just follow his own plan once he gets hit or after the first few rounds.

Then i watch his fights back for example the Corley fight, he would engage when i thought he wouldn't etc, I made up my mind there and then that he just follows his own plan once he sees what his opponent has to offer, he kinda processes everything by the 3/4 round and then the fight is over from there on.
