    He got a friend of mine in trouble with the state commission in Oklahoma. Floyd Sr was training a guy- his name escapes me- from OKC, and he was fighting in town. My friend is very good at wrapping hands and we'll known in the OKC boxing community; he often wraps and gloves up just about every fighter on a card.

    He wrapped and gloved up the fighter, then Floyd went and stripped the gloves; pulled the padding back and wrapped it with tape to hold it. That is illegal in Oklahoma and he blamed it on my friend.

    Or so the story was told.

    He was the trainer of a great fighter but from everything I've read, not a great trainer.
