Floyd Mayweather Sr: What an asshole!

[JonnyFolds]

Stunning. I just watched the HBO footage and Lefty is right. There is no sign of Mayweather senior afterwards. Hatton is down and a few members of his team are around him and on the way back to the dressing room Hatton is walking next to beard and no sign of Senior. Where the fuck was Mayweather?? It's his obligation to see his fighter through it all and he seems to have done a vanishing act. That is disgusting, disrespectful and totally beyond reproach.

Mayweathers advice between rounds was on the button, but to say "You should have listened to me from day one!". Again, that was uncalled for. There is a time and place to express your grievances but not when the guys been blasted down twice in the 1st! It's outrageous.

And no sign from him at the post fight conference. Again a total disregard of his obligations. And of course turning up for the fight so late. What a twat!!!! You start a camp and you see it through to the end as a pro. If the actual fight was in any way a mirror of the camp, then all I can say is....."Wow"...and we all know there have been a lot of rumours.

If Ricky's camp had gone as well as he was saying, then he really shouldn't have been getting blasted in two. I'm beginning to think that the rumours are true. That Mayweather wasn't taking it entirely seriously and that Ricky was not looking too good in sparring either. This is just guess work on my part, but Ricky fought a shockingly flawed fight and looked in no way at all like a man ready to give the PFP no. 1 a really tough fight.

Even the Diaz's of the world take nine rounds to get their heads taken off. Puzzling.

Let's put a better perspective on this. It was Mayweather's 50 seconds of "put your hands up and jab". He didn't have much time to give advice. And there were no Rounds.

Ricky had his hands by his chest the whole fight. What was he thinking

[Gandalf]

Yes, I know what you both are saying.

I am bamboozled by the fight and cannot explain it. Manny was great, so I won't take that away from him.

Ricky did fight with his hands around his open chest the whole time. I don't know why. He was inviting fast combinations that he really could not pick off.

Stupid fight.

Floyd's been with the guy two fights, i don't expect him to jump through the ropes with tears in his eyes and a pillow, c'mon guys as disloyal as fans are to thier fighters it funny people are amazed at how floyd is acting after this loss. Is it right probably not, but people are upset ?? That's suprising. For the record i'd say roach had very little to do with manny winning. What do you have to tell the guy, "hey see his face ? Hit it some more". Any trainer would have had the right advice that night. And manny wouldn't have needed it.

I give Roach more credit than Pacman, actually. Pacquiao was so crude and raw of a fighter when he started. You have to remember that Roach has been adding muscle to his physique, showing him how to carry power through weight divisions, and, most importantly, developed Pac as a complete fighter... a two handed fighter. Pac has a plan A,B, C... It's very clear that when Pac is doing his thing in the ring, he is following a game plan and Roach is the chessmaster.

Just my opinion. And I picked Hatton to win. not ashamed.

I really don't know why Hatton ever hired Floyd Sr. to begin with. Exactly what has he ever done to prove he is an elite trainer? The fact that his own son fired him should speak for itself. It would be like someone wanting to go out and hire Jack Mosley.

he's done more than just that, all of Oscar's success at 154 has to do with Mayweather Sr., including his sensational win over Vargas, also don't forget that he also trains Guzman, and he made Mayweather Jr what he is, that beautiful defense he has is thanks to his father, aside from Hatton, the 3 other big names that Sr has trained all were defensively sound, the least was Oscar and even his defense improved after going with Mayweather Sr, what the man did directly after what happened to Hatton is wrong, but you can't go ahead and blame him for the loss or say he's a shit trainer, he knows his shit, only thing is Hatton's form of fighting IMO doesn't really mesh well with Mayweather Sr's form of fighting, i felt the same way when Taylor went with Steward, and B-Hop went with Roach, can't blame a bad performance soley on a trainer, and honestly Hatton has NO ONE else to blame but himself after his loss against Pacquiao, he fought a VERY stupid fight

[SmeelMainly]

I actually give Roach alot of credit for Pac's success. He's developed him into a complete fighter, and he usually comes up with a pretty good gameplan for Pac to follow.
