    The only one here that is handling himself with any dignity is Forbes, good for him letting Roger go and moving on with camp.

    Someone obviously got into Floyd's ear about this. He wasn't afraid weeks ago when Roger started camp and now he is?

    And Roger, at least he could have showed up like a man and told Forbes the real deal.

    Steve Forbes 33 - 5 with 9 ko's
    5ft 7-1/2 inch and 68 inch reach.

    Lost 2 of his last 3 fights


    Golden Boy 38-5 with 30 ko's
    5ft 10-1/2 inch and 73 inch reach

    Lost 3 of his last 5 fights, and 4 of last 5 if Sturm gets the correct decision.

    Re: the fight.....as George Hull said, "A sucker is born every minute".

    Roger would not be able to help Forbes very much, if at all. He could hire Jeff Mayweather instead. Void Mayweather is a fascist.

    It's not the fact Roger may have been worthless in the long run, it's just unprofessional. Floyd looks like a baby and Roger looks like a dolt.

    Void should be glad he is very rich and has the judges and ref on his side. Castillo beat the crap out of Void in their first match, but Void was saved by his judges.

    So, did Forbes really hire Jeff?

    I agree.

    I dont understand why so many of these guys didnt see how that was a conflict of interest. Roger should have never signed on to train Forbes for THIS fight. Im not sure what he was thinking. As far as Floyd, I bet he did say something to Roger about it from the start. At any rate, If it was anyone except Floyd it wouldnt have even been news on this site. Sh*t goes on with trainers and fighters all the time. Hell Roach almost quit Pac, no one talks about that. Oscar has fukked over trainer after trainer no one talks about that. Shane Mosley fired his father as his trainer once none of that made the waves that this has. Its really a none issue hammered and banged by a lot of Floyd haters.

    PBF is Roger's main meal ticket if PBF doesn't want Roger training Forbes then he shouldn't do it. Put it like this if I'm in business and my main client makes up 85% of my income doesn't want me to do business with another client I'm not doing it.

    Oviously Floyd paid Roger not to train Forbes more than Forbes was paying Roger to train him
