The trainer and father of Floyd Mayweather Jr, Floyd Sr. has always been out spoken when it has come to his feelings on both Manny Pacquiao and his trainer Freddie Roach. He has questioned Pacquiao’s accomplishments in the ring and also questioned the training methods of Freddie Roach. With Roach winning the trainer of the year award six times and Mayweather yet to receive the same recognition, one has to wonder if 2014 will be yet another year where Floyd comes up short despite his achievements with his fighters.
In part 2 of my “On The Ropes” boxing radio interview with Floyd Mayweather Sr, I discuss with him the lack of recognition he has received for his success as a trainer and if he thinks this year might be the year. I also get Floyd’s views on the upcoming bout between Amir Khan and Devon Alexander and if he thinks Khan would make a good opponent for Mayweather if he were to win. Additionally I get Mayweather’s views on Pacquiao’s six knock downs against Algieri and how he sees Mayweather-Pacquiao going now. Here is what Floyd Mayweather Sr. had to say.
Jenna J: You had a very good 2014, you trained your son to beat Maidana twice. How do you feel about the year that you had and do you think you’re finally going to get the recognition you deserve from the boxing writers?
Floyd Mayweather Sr: It don’t mean nothing to me. They can do what they want to do, they give it to Freddie Roach all the time and he can’t fucking train no damn nobody. Let’s be for real, you can put us both on stage and you’ll find out who’s the best. He’s nowhere near me, he’s not even in the same class, nowhere near. But like I said before, they’ve been giving him all the accolades but I don’t give a damn. You got to go through all that bullshit to get a fucking trophy? Fuck them, I ain’t thinking about them.
Jenna J: Why do you think they always prefer Roach even though some people feel other trainers are more deserving?
Floyd Mayweather Sr: I don’t know. I’m not saying because something’s wrong with Freddie but I’m not saying it’s because of Freddie, it’s because of them. It’s them feeling sorry for Freddie and that’s where all that bullshit is coming around.
It is what it is however way you want to do it because either you’re in the game and win — if Freddie Roach would have done what I did this year, hey, there would be no question in anybodies mind that he would get the accolades again. We’ll just wait and see what happens. I thought very seriously that they’d honor me but all they want to do is cheat, steal and all that shit.
Jenna J: The last time we spoke you said you wanted your son to fight Amir Khan. Amir has a fight coming up with Devon Alexander, do you think Amir will get through it?
Floyd Mayweather Sr: I don’t know if Amir Khan will get through it or not but I know Amir Khan’s got a glass jaw. I know once you hit it, it’s gonna shatter all over the place. If you hear me Alexander, just do like I told you, hit him on the chin and his ass will be gone. He won’t be around long.
Jenna J: Do you think Amir Khan is even a good opponent at this point for Floyd?
Floyd Mayweather Sr: Honestly, I can’t see Amir Khan getting past anybody. He comes from England but I’m just saying, I don’t see where he’s whooping nobody. Who is he whooping? Who has he whooped? What names has he whooped?
Jenna J: I want to turn things back to a potential Pacquiao-Mayweather match. Based on Pacquiao’s last performance and the way that he looked, how do you think the fight goes down today?
Floyd Mayweather Sr: I’m gonna be truly honest with you, I didn’t even see the fight, I never did. I heard that he got knocked down six times, something like that, nine times somebody said, five times. I don’t really know how many times he got knocked down.
Jenna J: Based on what you heard about the performance, do you think Pacquiao is any better or does this not change your mind on how he does?
Floyd Mayweather Sr: I ain’t saying he’s better because he knocked down some nobody. Floyd knocked Diego Corrales about six times and Diego Corrales was a good fighter. Floyd knocked him down about six times. It’s only obvious that if they fight, I’m on my sons side so there’s no other way to look at that but one way. I wouldn’t be looking his way just to be looking, but whatever my son said about it, I don’t believe Pacquiao can whoop him anyways, simple as that.
Jenna J: The new year is coming up, what can fans expect from Floyd Mayweather Sr? You got any other projects going on?
Floyd Mayweather Sr: I got a couple of guys that are supposed to be coming down here. They’re telling me that one guy is supposed to be weighing 130lbs, supposed to be 6’2. I told them, “Who in the hell are you bringing to me, a skeleton?” A guy 6’2 weighing 130 lbs, my goodness but that’s what they said they’re gonna bring to me so that’s what I’m gonna deal with.
I got another guy coming down next week, we’ll see what happens and check him out, if he has something we’ll let him know, if they don’t have something, we’ll let them know that too.
Jenna J: I recently saw you in a video sporting a new t-shirt with a message from you. A lot of people are asking where they can get that t-shirt. What can you tell us about that?
Floyd Mayweather Sr: I’m planning on getting a whole lot of them made up. The shirt is about $60. You can lay down in them, you can sleep on them and they don’t wrinkle or anything. They got the most glossy color and the colors don’t fade. It makes you look like yourself. I’m going forward with that.
Jenna J: Well I know I would be interested because “Don’t worry about the rest because you’re training with the best”
Floyd Mayweather Sr: Look here, that poem right there, a guy told me, “Floyd you didn’t give me no poems so I had to come up with that” and I told him he did a good job.
The fans got five words for the Duck Dynasty Family! JUST SHUT UP AND FIGHT!
Gayman “Fake Numbers” Ostrich only fights class B 5kph boxers, but she is not looking sharp anymore, so she is looking for a class C 4kph opponent. Pacman is class AAA, so all this article is sillyness.
Shut your mouth before you get fired. Your son gives you no respect.
Mr. Gayweather Sr, better stop murmuring.. advice gayweather jr that its time to murmur on the ring. their fist do the talking.
Algieri by facing Pacman has got more balls than the Mayweathers combined. And yet Algieri has only one ball.
Old Gayweather tell your son to fight manny so at the end he can fell the feelings of the one who is being defeated. I am pretty sure that pacman will eat him alive.
“Pacman is not on Gayweather’s level” according to you but why is it that he is afraid to death to fight manny? Afraid to suffer the same fate Margarito had? I guess.
BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA.. too much talking.. let him fight pacquiao
ho hummmmm
I honestly think that Pacquiao would beat Mayweather because he is an offensive machine, which is what you need to get points. FMJ is a defense specialist, which does not gives points. I see FMJ immitating Clotey when he fought Pacquiao.
yeahh in a turtle shell…
Effect defense DOES give you points. Try again
yes that is true…roach and oldman mayweather not of the same level. coz it only took two rounds to dispose the tandem of hatton and mayweather sr. against the pacman and roach.. feeling bad for not getting recognized.. hey! why not buy your own plaques and awards.. got plenty of money.
if you guys think manny is an easy fight why not fight at all?
all you do is blabbering tell your arrogant floyquak to put on the gloves
and fight manny period…..
the plan of manny & freddie is to break gayweather”s shoulder , so not able to execute his shoulder roll defense, that is why he so scared to fight manny
blah blah blah… mga duwag! maitim ang bayag!
Well in his logic that makes Canelo Alvares and Robert Gurerro a nobody too. Chris Algeri won against Ruslan Provodnikov who fought and almost won against Timothy Bradly, who we know fought Pacquaio twice.
Floydie is not scared to fight the PacMan.. he is just afraid to get beaten and beaten up badly… like the face of Cotto and Margarito. Well, if Clottey will share his turtle defense with him, maybe, just maybe his face will be spared… Pretty Boy no more, Money May to Spare Me, TBE to Beaten Badly..
The PacMan will whoop ur ass so BADLY…. COWARD!!!! HEY Floydei Sr. if you are sure that your son can defeat Manny then WHY ON EARTH YOU WILL NOT FIGHT HIM…
Why there are somebody wants to hear this chicken runner.., that even his own son never listens to him….
father and son, idiots.
Fans don’t care what you think Floyd Sr.! Majority of Fans want to see them fight and soon!
Mr Gay Quackweather Sr, thus one for you,FUCK YOU!
Ahhhh…SHUT UP!!!
Stop all the comments Floyd Mayweather Sr. If your son is really great what’s the hesitation? Afraid?
Mayweather doesn’t roll his shoulders wen he fights southpaws still people will be hating on floyd wen he beats this champ that couldn’t outsmart a plain marquez
Thank you for that!!! I get tired of these non boxing people always talking shit out the side of they’re neck. Going they don’t know shit about boxing
mayweather is a f****** worthless piece of s*** he’s too scared to fight Manny Pacquiao even told him his last fight is all you mean Mayweather fight he wants to fight me calling you out bitch
Se and jenna are always together doing path session.
blah,blah,blah,blah,blah…..lol
BLAH BLAH BLAH…SHUT UP! FIGHT PACMAN..TO MUCH TALKSHIT FLOYD SR!
I think this will be forever! FOREVER Mayweather afraid to fight PACMAN!
Shut up you wide-mouthed n..g….h or TBE will fire you|
Talk to your SON and let the game begin
All you lame asses keep talking Manny this & Manny that, but who has he fought?? Maidena & Alverez will knock out all Manny’s last few opponents. The last real fighter Manny fought knocked him the Fuck Out. So stop talking & lets all wait on the fight & see what happens to Manny. Floyd by 10th round KO. If he makes it that far.
A simple analysis on this fight if it will happen ? A boxer who can deliver ten combination non stop versus a pot shot and two combinations. do your arithmetic. Who do you think is going to win?
gotta land the shit first
no wonder he is the trainer when hatton got knoked out….fmw will suffer 1st defeat agains manny….
You Mexicans wasn’t on manny d..k when he beat taco sauce out of del la Ho ya.
Exactly!!! Not to mention none of these Floyd Jr. Haters will bet their twos and fews on Pacquiao!!!
QWERTY AQUARIUM aquarium a 1 Aaron dq a Quick 1q a wwa a
This is Mayweather easiest payday. Manny is over rated now. Can wait for Floyd to ko this bum.
Crazy ass hell all these bogus comments people are going to get woke up quickly when Floyd breaks Pac man down it will be another victory for mayweather just wa
watch
blaaahhh balahhh all talk…tell your coward……Gaywetaher to fight…to stop all your F…comment…hahaha!!
Manny is made for Mayweather.
If you cant see that, all you are is a completely blinded Pacman fan with no other issue than hoping you are right.
Manny may well do good things against Floyd for a round or so, then Mayweather will work him out, just like he always does (and he probably already has) .
Manny has no other backup plan. He is too predictable. The counter right hand (pull counter) straight down the middle will be in Mannys face all night long. It will be embarrassing
There is no remedy for it.
Watch what happens if the fight comes.
Mayweather 118-110.
What an arrogant prick! Convince your quacker ducking son to the ring with Pacquiao, now! Do it!
Only a lucky punch can defeat pacman,,,,,, ,,,, hahhaha believe it or not,,,!
I remember that gayweather is already retire,, the fucking giants question is Y? He came back,,,,, ,, , ,, he’s,, not even deserving to call a pound 4 pound king,,, ,, its because his a man, wearing a cinderillas panty,,, lol
Easy Win for Floyd… Pac will come in n get hit all night long… Might even go to sleep like he did vs Marquez… Zzzzzzzzz… Zzzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzz… Zzzzzzzzz.. That was a sight… Easy money for money
yeahhhh well easy for gayweather…..then tell him to F…pacquiao….you’re all talking too…like your idol…the quack dynasty hahahahah!!!
You guys wasting ur comments here cuz the Mayweathers (Father/Son) doesn’t know how to read hakhak…
..Floyd Sr. the Pacman is coming to town, i just hope you will train Floydie Jr. better because Manny will knock him out!
all you gayweather fans…keep depending your quakgayboxer…all blaaa blaaa balahh…it doesn’t mater who pacman fought or he is broke or duhh duhh duhh…just tell your F…idol to come out and beat pacquiao and that’s it…….instead of making all excusesss……TBE…the best Excuses….hahahaha!!
Floyd is the best ever T.B.E simple as that. Manny is going to do what he does, try to flood floyd with all those punches but floyd is a defensive fighter. That’s what you idiots don’t understand but you will.
