Quoted in the Grand Rapids Press, Mayweather Jr., said: "My father has said he taught me everything I know, but he didn't teach me everything he knows. I'm glad he didn't teach me everything he knows, because my record might be 28-6-1."
He also said his father never reached his level because he was a slap puncher who couldn't duck!! ;D
NICE...
and to think I was worried Snr wouldn't commit 100% to training Oscar against his son.
Their all class aren't they?
*boo hoo* "i retire !"
Just lacks class that comment. Keep the family stuff at home.Quote:

This is all build up for the fight. I can see them embracing afterwards, no matter who wins!
Its the old mans fault for getting sent to jail when he should of been putting his son over his knee!!
well the article i read was dated the 16th? where did you see it a week ago? and thanks for letting me know I'm glad you made the effort to comment ::**Quote:

Not to be rude but Floyd snr trained his son from an infant to box, and was with him his entire amatuer career and for several years into his pro career. I don't really think you have any idea how much influence he has had, noone who's last name isn't Mayweather does.. I personally think Floyd snr training DLH is one of the biggest edges for Oscar going into this fight.Quote:

Secondly,name me a way in which Floyd senior has made Oscar a better fighter? Watch the Vargas fight,he didn't give Oscar any uselful info at all!Quote:

I'm on Snr's team for this argument on this one. Jnr is definatly on his dads turf calling out oscar when there's a million other guys for him to fight. Wlad doesn't call out Vitali does he?
Well i guess on the othr side, Floyd has the right to call out who he wants. Actually this fence is kinda comfortable ;D
Yeah your probably right there, and to say Floyd snr overrates his unfluence on DLH's career is pretty accurate imo.. However(I could be wrong), I believe Vargas was his first fight under Mayweather?? Still, it's not as if he followed that up with anything stunning so good point there.. I think DLH's defence did look a little sharper and he seemed to have picked up a few things in the Mayorga fight... But then again Sam Peter could probably look like a defensive master of the shoulder roll with a guy like Mayorga in front of him.. Real hard to say, I just think for this particular fight it is extremely valuable for Oscar to have FLoyd snr in his corner, he's going to need to bust out every trick in the book and then some...Quote:

Come to think of it, no one knows what it is ... except Floyd Sr. And, presumably, he'll be informing Oscar, and that will make all the difference.
LOL that's rich... This isn't kung fu, and Floyd snr is hardly a grand master sensai, if you know what I mean... You really think that there's just some secret flaw that only PBFS dad knows about, one that Floyd wouldn't have discovered on his own, or his uncle?? Roger was a much better fighter than Floyd snr anyways, and Im sure he would know anything that his brother did. Aside from a terrilble chin he was an excellent fighter.Quote:

But we have it on very good authority that Floyd Sr has made such an assertion. Second hand - from Floyd Sr to another person who can attest to it on this board, to us.
I was once a mocker just like you, and then I saw the light. Oh ye of little faith!
'course, mine ain't that strong either ...
