Floyd doesnt respect trainers without ring experience

[THC]

In any sport a good trainer helps the athlete maximize his chances of winning. This means knowing what the athlete needs now to improve. The trainer with prior ring experience might have an advantage only if he can apply that experience specifically to that athlete.

Sometimes a former elite boxer becomes a poor trainer because he lacks the empathy to understand the current state of an average athlete. This type of trainer had advanced skills that came naturally; so he has difficulty understanding the frustrations experienced by an average athlete. This then becomes an impediment to the athlete's overall development.

I think hes right, just like any job or sport, how can you tell somebody to do this or that if you have never master that or felt what it feels to be in certain situations

They can teach and be well knowledge, and it doesnt mean you cant be a good trainer, but id rather be with somebody that has been there before n guide hetter

There are no trainers without ring experience. Certainly not at the world level. Floyd saying ****** things as usual

[ray moe]

So, if you want to be a world champion, since floyd, your trainer needs to have been a world champion.

Nah, his own father boxing experience is laughable, he was bad AF, and still he has been his trainer.

I dont agree with him, maybe it can help the trainer to understand the fighter, but I dont agree with him.

[Madison Boxing]

i agree with him. especially the younger ones. i dont understand it, why would david haye listen to shane mcguigan for example? Been a world class fighter, world champion and then going to suddenly listen to someone whos young but wasnt good enough to make it, and youre meant to follow him at his word? Its not even if they have a wealth of experience to pass on in the sport, just glorified personal trainers.

What if Larry and Kigali were actually the same person.

Lmao I could totally see it.

[bojangles1987]

I understand why athletes feel this way in every sport, but I don't think it's some necessity. I know you can find incredible coaches and decision makers in other sports who never played, and I'm sure you could find trainers who never fought as well.

Plus you'll often find that great players/boxers make for awful coaches and trainers.

[PRINCEKOOL]

Disagree! (I am sure there has never been a boxer trainer with zero ring experience! Most trainers have ether fought amateur or at-least attending a boxing gym and trained there so? I think Floyd Mayweather is referring to PROFESSIONAL BOXING experience! He is entitled to his opinion, but i don't agree with it!

(Sometimes in a profession you need a different kind of perception, to become the best! For example, i always remember watching the film APOLLO 13 starring Tom Hanks! Apollo 13 would not of made it back to earth safely without the extra perceptions, opinions and expertise of people that where not astronauts! And its the same in boxing and every other sport, sometimes you need to take advantage of more than ONE perception!

What if Larry and Kigali were actually the same person.

Kigali is from Uganda or Rwanda & Larry from the States.

Would you trust a money manager who has never managed money?

A doctor who has never performed surgery?
