    Yes, Mayweather Sr. underestimated his own son.

    Floyd Sr. was in jail when Floyd sparred Pernell and he hadn't even been around Floyd for years. The only times he saw him vs southpaws while in jail was on tvl and I'm guessing he was basing it off the Sanders fight since Floyd stopped the other two southpaws he fought.

    nothing's wrong with it. roger didnt listen to floyd sr...that's all. are you insinuating that floyd was lying about sparring sweet pea? what could he benefit from that? he's already a tremendous pound for pound fighter.

    One thing is sparring Whitaker as a young kid, and the other is actually fighting southpaws professionally.

    That was the most genuine and best interview from Floyd I've ever seen.
