What does Roger really do for Floyd?

I can see exactly where you're coming from on this,but the thing is,there are occasionally guys like Floyd who in their own way,transcend the sport and are always going to do their own thing,regardless of who trains them.I think Roger is a security blanket for Floyd.Someone he trusts and who does have the ability to see what needs seeing if so required.Floyd will do exactly what he wants 99.99% of the time so why not have family there just in case.
Hopkins(IMO) very rarely listened to Nazim from what I could see.Some guys are just that way and genuinely believe they know it all.

 

When you have a great boxing IQ like Floyd often it seems like he does everything by himself, they always have good gameplan thst Floyd does in the ring so there is no need for Roger to bull**** and try to sound smart like Atlas often does!

 

I miss Yoel.

 

same kinda thing with ali and dundee i think

 

Bouhdini should get more credit.

 

He gets Floyd ready for the fights

and is just a motivator in there but i do think if Floyd were to really be losing a fight he could give the right advice

 

he makes sure floyd is focused more than anything

 

I'd imagine he's the one who watches the tapes, no?

 

Words of wizdom like this

Get that left hook in there......he need that......that's for the road. Punish dat ass

:bbbGo Roger!

 

Look at any fight Floyd is struggling in. Roger gives good advice in the Castillo fight, Oscar, Judah etc. I'll give examples.

Listen to Roger in the corner before round 11. He tells Floyd he's the faster fighter and tells him to go out there and mix it up. Then Floyd goes out there in round 11, goes into the pocket and wins it on my and Lederman's scorecard.


Against Oscar
Roger: "Keep tapping him with the jab, down the stretch you gonna get his ass. Don't worry down the stretch, let the ***** get tired a bit. He ain't doing **** anyway, he just walking in.
Keep the jab working, keep the feint working and stay off the rope when you don't have to. Every now then get on it, but don't stay on the ropes for so long "

And if you watch the fight, that's exactly what Floyd did


Now in between rounds of the Carlos Hernandez fight was beautiful. Watch from the beginning until the start of the 7th round. Floyd comes into the fight with his right hand hurt. Then in the 6th round he hurts his left hand and has to take a knee (meaning both his hands are injured). In the corner, he pulls the reverse Vitali and tells Roger he can't quit and it's already understood by Roger that Floyd isn't going to do that.
Roger gives Floyd to tactical advise to keep feinting him, jab and paw with the jab to draw him in with the right uppercut.
