Since the DLH fight he has talked incessantly and his head has been expanding alarmingly. After Manny has been stopped, Mayweather snr should walk up to Roach and stab him in the head with a pin. I'm sure the head will pop and a lot of built up shit will be released in a yucky pile on the ring canvas. The good thing is that Roach might have learned a lesson and his head might just shrink back to regular size.
Well, if you look the fact straight it didn't happen like that at all: Mayweather started to bullshit when DLH picked Roach over him, with his famous poem with the line "Now that DLH picked Roach, he went from a limo to a coach", Roach didn't say nothing, he did his job. After THAT, DLH blamed Roach saying he wasn't a good coach, that his gameplan was wrong and he reverted to Nacho for his fight against Pacman. Being insulted, Roach normally fired back saying DLH couldn't put the trigger and would be stop around the 10th... that's exactly what happened. Meanwhile, Mayweather SR CALLED HIM big time the "joke coach Roach" and that he, Mayweather, was the best trainer in the business. Having proved nothing compared to Roach, Roach fired back a bit (which I would have done as well) But in the end, it's not Roach's ego which is on the line, it's Mayweather who did act like an angry six years old child bursting his anger all over the floor and if you ask me, he's the one who should deflate his ego, after all he's the self proclaimed "best trainer of all time"
I would say both ego's are on the line actually. I'm only going back as far as the time that this fight was signed, but it's my perception that Roach has been the one going beyond the call of duty moreso than Mayweather. Mayweather has actually come across as fairly likeable in a weird kind of way, he's quite funny. Roach says his thing and I don't detect much humour. So I guess he must be serious.

Roach needs bringing down IMO, and this weekend is as good a time as any. Roach is overrated. He let Toney fight with boobies, allowed Tyson not to train properly, thought Hopkins was good enough to beat Calzaghe, and now sees Khan as a serious boxer. Roach has a good fighter in Manny, but I leave it at that. And hopefully that comes to an end this weekend!
