PBF w/ dad instead of Uncle Rog in the corner a functional advantage or disadvantage?

i prefer roger to be honest..

 

Holy ****e, post of the year nomination!!!!

Had me laughing like a madman

 

He still trains with both...Senior actually gives good advice,Roger just says...kick his ass

 

Personally I think Roger seems to be a much more calming influence right through the camps and during fights plus he doesn't have the oversized ego of Floyd Snr. A good camp can only really accommodate one big ego and that should be the fighter's for me. Plus there always seems to be that little bit of tension between Jr and Snr that I can't imagine being a good thing to have during training camp.

But that's just my two cents from the outside, who knows what goes on behind closed doors.

 

I can really see Floyd snr and Floyd really getting into a big rift when things don't go there way in a fight ......they don't really get along to begin with

 

Agreed plus I think when Floyd Jr is letting his own ego run a little wild it just seems that Roger is able to be the one who gets it all back on track and running smoothly - because he only really gives a flying about boxing and not the nonsense surrounding it. The same can't be said for Snr who lives to be the centre of attention just like his son...

 

what does roger say besides....


"keep boxing dat mutha fuc*a"
"keep jabbin dat muthafuc*a and we gunna finish him off late"

 

No he doesn't and that is his biggest problem. Sr. sees this fight as him vs. Roach not Floyd vs. Manny. That is very bad for Jr. Sr. is already filling his head with a bunch of **** that isn't true. It's the same with Ariza. Too many egos in floyd's camp who think that this fight is about them and not Floyd.

 

He's been taking considerably less punishment in the ring with his father around. Being more defensively sound in the last few fights.

For long term health, I reckon SR is the better choice.

I do think against Pac, Roger is better. Floyd has to go a bit more offensive here.
