    Nothing to do with that.DonTurner stated on film that in Ray Robinson's time Floyd Mayweather Jnr would only be a 6 round fighter.Do you agree with that statement? He calls the shoulder roll "bull****" what do you say about that?

    He never trained the Klitschkos , he never saw Marciano fight in the flesh. That's two unexplained statements right there!

    He is basing that off the way Mayweather fights today. Don't you think his style would be unacceptable in the 50's?
    I think Floyd would've adjusted and been very successful. So I don't agree, but I definitely see where he's coming from.

    You really think he is lying on a taped interview about training the Klitschkos?

    I think he is exaggerating his position in several camps he was an assistant to Jackson in Kovalev's camp.
    If you can find any evidence of him training the Klits I'd love to read it! Likewise if you can produce any evidence that
    he saw Marciano fight in an arena I'd be very interested to read that.
    He says Floyd Mayweather Jnr would only be a 6 round fighter in Robinson's day because he," can't punch ,"and calls the shoulder roll bull****!

    How much credibility should we give him?

    "In 2003, Klitschko was shuffling through trainers, having rotated Freddie Roach, Don Turner and Fritz Sdunek (among others) through his corner."

    Well, looks like you were wrong.
    Embarrassing. Why even claim something didn't happen when you have zero clue?

    Let's take a look at the slow motion replay folks;

    Oof!
