Had balls in his fighting days(Whitaker,JC Chavez x2, Pazienza). Knows his stuff about boxing so I don't mind him as a trainer either. The smartest thing I remember him saying was in the De La Hoya fight when he told Floyd,"Don't get on the ropes! It makes it look like he's landing."
loved the way the undefeated roger expressed himself here [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxcYHe4Xj4I&feature=related[/ame]
I understand people having their doubts about his ability as a trainer because he has an exceptional product of talent, work ethic and upbrininging in Floyd. But if you hear the advice he gives Floyd in training and the fact he has won two world title shimself the guy knows his stuff. He traininga great boxer who also happens to be his nephew and gets paid well to do it. How many of you would be training other boxers on the side.
Damn, haha He's got heart though trying to get back up because he got tagged clean there. Maybe he should have listened to Floyd Snr more and focused more on defence, lol.
gotta love how he got in duva and rockys face before the fight only to get starched within the next 3 minutes :rofl
Roger reminds me of the guy with the snakes in front of Apollo's old gym in Rocky 3 when they get out of the cab
He's an *******, plain and simple. As a trainer I don't know, haven't seen him with anyone apart from Floyd but he seems to know his ****. He can be a funny mother****er in an arrogant, ******* type way but still, it's no fair to compare him to Floyd sr who whoops his ass when it comes to comedy. Floyd sr is also a ***** but he's a comedy genius.
Thanks for your oppinions, if any of you are interested, he should be coming on theboxingtruthradio today @ 6:00PM PST / 9:00PM EST http://theboxingtruth.com/ they're going to be interviewing him and possibly he'll take questions from the fans.
hahaha, that quote is great...Yeah i met him in vegas for the floyd marquez fight in the lobby of the mgm and all's he was doing was quizzing people about boxing, he literally stood in the lobby for 4 hours just talking boxing with anyone, not saying that makes him a great trainer which i believe he is, just interesting..Even though he doesnt speak well boxing is all he knows and he knows a shitload
If anyone's still interested about www.theboxingtruth.com it comes on in another 45min. 6PM PST and 9PM EST hope to see you all there
