Exactly, no it wasnt.
But here's what I don't understand. If I was a boxer on the brink of a mega fight and my body is telling me I've got to slow down a bit, or I feel like I'm peaking too soon, I'm going to put my foot down and say something. If my trainer then persists in training me into the ground or refusing to do pad work or other training techniques vital to beating my oponant (not mention turning up for training late) than I'm going to tell him to pack his bags and fuck off. Especially if you've got Lee beard to take over anyway.

I'm just surprised Ricky didn't do something.
Firstly, Ricky didnt say anything about the overtraining because he probably didnt want to admit defeat to the programme. Especially if he thought that Oscar and Floyd Jnr had handled Floyd Snr's regime, even though they probably differed massively.

Secondly, they did tell Floyd Snr to pack his bags and fuck off weeks before the fight, it just wasnt made public.
