    :lol:

    No matter how many times I see it, it just doesn't look like a big shot.

    Virgil is not better. you have to match trainers with a fighter who has skill sets that allow the trainer to grow and enhance his game. Once again blanket statements saying this guy is better than that guy without knowing what kinda fighter you're dealing with is quite silly. For example are you gonna tell me that Virgil would be better for Vernon Paris or Mike Tyson than Sr was ? Or ODLH ? let's get real man...

    Instead of criticizing others' so called blanket statements, give your own opinion. I prefer Virgil over Mayweather Sr.

    He did a good job with Jr. and Oscar but nah. He doesn't have enough of a resume to be considered all-time. I mean, in the grand scheme of things, he's definitely better than most. But he's not up there with the very best.

    He's the carrier of an innovative style that's proven to be one of the most potent in boxing and is by far the best defensive teacher alive. End of story .......

    Just who on Earth are you? How do you know who knows what about boxing? Have you worked with either? Yes? When? If not then stfu. I will ignore the utter shyte job that Senior did with Hatton when he fought Pacquiao. For your information I have worked with many trainers and all almost certainly know far more than you, and since almost everyone rates Roger above Floyd Snr as a trainer im going to use their expert opinion and my own experience to form a reasonable opinion... An opinion appears to be something you seem incapable of providing. And the fact that you chose to "fit on the fence" despite supposedly having so much knowledge tells me that in reality, you know fu ck all. Maybe you should ask Floyd Jnr who is the best out of the two, since Roger has trained him most of his professional career. You prat.

    Wrong again, moron. That was ROGER'S work and as such it's Roger's style!! Nice try though.

    I don't recall any of those fighters apply this wonderous atg defensive style that you attribute to Floyd Snr. If it was his style, and if he IS some atg trainer, why did those guys not utilise it? BECAUSE IT WAS ROGER'S STYLE AND TRAINING EXPERTISE (sorry for the block caps guys, but tbis Big George imbecile seems to need them) you cretin!! Christ, we've got another MVC on our hands.

    :rofl The fact that you ignore Arcel (that alone proves you clearly dksab) Steward, Dundee and Clancy (there are plenty more, but they were off the top of my head) tells me all I need to know. THREE Mayweather's in the top ten trainers of all time??:rofl ALL of them are better than Freddie Roach??:lol: You are so stupid you probably don't realise how embarrassing to you your list truly is. You're obviously a troll (and a decidedly poor one at that). FU CK OFF TROLL.

    Have you seen his shyte top ten atg trainers list? If you haven't, take a look and pi ss yourself laughing (THREE MAYWEATHER'S IN THE TOP TEN atg trainers :rofl). And once you have viewed that pathetic list, do you really want to know his embarrassingly inadequate and obviously incredibly biased opinion on the subject?
