Renowned trainer Billy "The Preacher" Graham on Floyd Mayweather Jr.

I have to agree

But Hatton doesn't seems to be the smartest guy out there, so I'm not sure, if he is able to fight smarter

 

that was a good read...better then most of the nonsense people post on here...man may cant come soon enough im amped for this fight

 

Top read and i give respect where it's due, i may not like FMJ for his crass antics but i do appreciate his boxing skills when he's in the ring. This coming from a fan of both Pac and May.

 

great read, thanks!!

 

Very complimentary of Floyd it seems that Hatton and Graham both like Floyd alot after the event.

Thanks for posting!

 

No one can doubt he is a good fighter with some exceptional skills. As a person you must remember infront of the camera its all for business. Thats how fights are made and promoted. Sometimes he goes a bit far with it but that happens. He backs it up in the ring.

The criticism he gets is the fights he should have taken. But again he's about the risk/reward so am sure will take on hoever if the money is right.

 

That's a very honest post from Graham... You don' t get to the top of this sport and have the longevity by not really being disciplined and focused... You get what you put into this and Mayweathers have been serious since he was a kid... And he was lucky to have the family's knowledge of the sport to learn so much, so early on..

 

Great comments by Billy Graham. It's incredible you have a once in a generation talent and he's not appreciated the way he should.

 

some truth to that no doubt

 

Floyd is an ******* and a *****!!!

for real though, that was a good read. a much better take on floyd's strengths than what you get from some of his huggers here...

 

Really good interview.

It always annoys me when people look at fighters on face value and make assumptions on that. Someone like Henry Armstrong is hugely underrated defensively, because he was an agressive fighter, and it's the same with Mayweather. People see the incredible defence but his offence should also be noted. Even if he boxes on the backfoot, he's probably the most well rounded boxer alive and his offence is truly special.

Just an amazing fighter to watch. I wish he had dared to be great, because, honestly, he would have been, no question about it.

 

The Marquez analysis killed it for me. How can he miss that?

 

Floyd probably is an OK guy.

I've seen a Freddie Roach interview a few weeks back and he said that the Mayweathers have used the Wildcard gym before for training, and he actually got to know FMJ up close, without the cameras, and said he actually likes Floyd Jr. and Sr. and thinks they're decent people.

It's Roger that he hates.

 

on delahoya/mayweather 24/7 roger said he used to whip roach's ass in sparring.

good read. i still dont think graham is a world class trainer tho. I'd give him a B-

 

Roach does have a lot more respect for Roger as a trainer, compared to Floyd Sr.

He just thinks Roger's "a piece of ****".
