The man speaks with pride about his son! Period!
Man its nearly impossible to find a good interview on Floyd Sr without crazy fans jumping all over him. Great Job bro. love Floyd Joy.
Hope he stays around a lot longer. I wish you good health Sr.
This man deserves all the credit for Floyd success. The fact that roger was there to continue to train Floyd JR when SR was in jail is a credit to SR because he trained roger and roger was the next best trainer for JR.
Great interview. Floyd Sr is right, he build and groomed his son from day 1 to be the ring genius he is today. Sr made it happen.
WillieBization Sr started by teaching defense his brother Roger trained Jr into the complete boxer that he is today. While Jr was coming through the ranks Sr was in jail. Jr hated his father for abusing him and giving his mother drugs. Roger became Jr mentor and trainer.
Floyd Sr. is the reason Floyd is the great fighter he is today, his foundation was built through his father techniques.
pretty the dawn Sr is not the only reason, Uncle Roger took Jr and trained him. He gave him the tools, knowledge and connections to rise within the sport. Sr was in jail when Jr lost the gold at the 96 Olympics Roger picked up the pieces and trained him when he turned pro. when Sr got out of prison Jr wanted nothing to do with him. Jr and Roger credit Sr for teaching Jr how to fight defensively but Roger taught him offense, mental focus and perseverance. Between Jr talent and hunger he was able to advance successfully through the sport. Sr had a drug habit and a jail sentence. You can’t train you son when you locked. Roger and Jr built the money team. Jr brought his uncles & eventually his father into his business.
Love this man! He deserves his flowers for the great job he did with his boy “luh Floyd.”
He loves his son! People need to recognize the truth and respect their relationship.... Missteps and all!
they will make a movie 1 day on roger and floyd snr
archertank2 That’s really a good ass idea. Lol you need to give them that idea 💡
Great interview!
Respect to Floyd Mayweather snr for starting the champ on the road to greatness , can see you really proud of him ☺️👏🏾👏🏾💥👑
his smile is exactly like Floyd lol
He is Floyd
@@TheRimasyele lol
Good vid Chris!!
Floyd, Sr, Joe Jackson, Earl Woods, Richard Williams...ALL LEGENDARY BLACK FATHERS who masterminded the greatness out of their children. There's nothing in life like a black father who see's greatness in his child. He makes moves fully aware that he'll NEVER be immune from the criticism...NEVER... but he continues on in the presence of all the haters. Mad respect for each of these legends.
I like this interview!!
Thanks a lot...
Thanks..
Thanks alot man! Long in Debt interview with Big Floyd!! As u know im a huge Big Floyd fan! George Benton is my all time favorite! 2nd Bill Miller and then Big Floyd! I hope i get to meet him one day and have a in-depth conversion about the sweet science! U a lucky guy Chris!!! Thanks again!!!!!
Thanks that's an interesting idea I will think about it...
I love this history particularly great interview, the best ti ever do it no doubt
Sr speaking from the heart.Good stuff.I believe him.
i am glad to see based on the build up to guerrero that they really are fixing their relationship with great progress
made my day ^^
Floyd Mayweather Sr. is still the Master
Amazing guy.
I feel good that I been on the Mayweather bandwagon from way back.
Alablksnakelong Halfpintowhitecream I had to grow on mayweather jr but I did come to acknowledge him as the best of our time. He came out to be better than all of his elders but they knew how to critique him. They fought the greats of their time.
I did not grow up in this Country...as I said I am from Russia....But I disagree strongly that black and white people sound alike when they speak English...Im not close minded...I accept all people...I am a law student student...Not dumb or ignorant. But in my experience learning the English language...blacks and whites speak it VERY differently in USA. And Floyd Sr is not from the country according to my research, he's from inner city of Grand Rapids, MI. He grew up street fighting in ghetto
FMJ gives most credit to Roger Mayweather but really Roger never used the shell that much especially early on. FMJ fights much more like his dad than his uncle so he does deseve more credit
I like watching Floyd Sr. videos I just hate it hard to understand him at times.
Biggest thing he said about floyd Jr was that at 7 and 8 yrs old he could run distance that's HUGE THATS WHERE THE TERM EASY WORK COMES FROM.2 TO 3 MILES AT THAT AGE AND HE STILL DOES IT NOBODY LIKE RUNNING. BY 15 HE MASTERS IT HE NEVER BEEN A FRONT RUNNER HE A FINISHER .
That’s his secret
floyd sr is the best
He needs to protect his name and legacy from damage especially after ungrateful Mayweather JR
disrespected him, cussed him out and belittled him in his gym on national tv. Saying " he wasn't a real boxer and he fought only journey men and was only nothing but a taxi driver etc"
Yo mayweather sr. a real dude peace to pops shiiiit!! The GO.A.T
Who is that boxer in those pics???
Israel Herrera Floyd mayweather jr
But if you get a chance can u ask him to go in to depth about the PHILLY SHELL, and how did he come up with or start that PADWORK ROUTINE!!! And could he go into what he nows about BILL MILLER and GEORGE BENTON two of the Godfathers of the Philly Shell!!!
Mayweather Sr always give good interviews
Yeah well I'm an editor and video resolution is the only department where Elie Seckbach (ESNEWS) is better. HD is the new standard.
Floyd senior is so prideful. He will never share his glory with another. & he refuses to give anyone credit but himself when it come to the art of being a trainer lol
Been saying this for years.
THAT WILL BE GREATNESS AT 154LBS THAT WILL BE THE SUPER FIGHT! THE BEST FIGHT FOR BOXING. I WILL BE IN LAS VEGAS
Was there a point when Floyd jr was in the same level or even better than his dad, when Sr. was a pro boxer?
Kervin Calero Floyd is arguably the greatest of all times. Floyd Senior was never close to that but he was a hell of a fighter before the injuries and him getting shot
the best fighters dont make the best trainers. sr taught roger. he's got nothing to be ashamed of in terms of boxing.
i wanna see adrien broner come to mayweather sr and brush up on his defensive work. and hes undisciplined, i remember when floyd jr. decided to go back to roger when he was young it was because floyd sr. treated training like it was a bootcamp. i think if adrien broner wants to become a true great he needs to come to this man right here
Yeah but I dont think they get along I say the same thing adrian is battling demons never had what floyd had
Haha. Was thinking the same soon as Video started
He has got fucking awesome teeth! They pretty much look like veneers they're that white and pristine. To be fair Floyd jnr has great teeth aswell.
I think big Floyd should let go of the idea that "He created/made lil Floyd what he is today".
It took alot more than taking him to the gym as a baby to get Floyd to this point, sure it started it, and it should be acknowleged but it's not the reason totally.
Floyd jr put in that work to get here, Sr needs to acknowlege that
PullCounterTv He’s not saying that he holds all the credit, he’s saying he’s the one that put him on that path & taught him how to fight
Why should he it's his son,he taught him how to fight it's his blood that runs in his son veins.💪
Great interview. Open up a Paypal donation thing so we can help you get an HD camera. I throw in a couple of bucks. I'll even click on your ads - the ads I like, of course :)
Woulda shoulda coulda!
Another thing Floyd Sr never gets credit for is his teeth. Damn he takes good care of them
makes no sense. seems like this comment is meant for a blog or a Facebook post.
meanwhile pacman is sleep and suspended on to boxing news
lol a true O.G
FLOYD JR.
doesn't matter most of what they say is gibberish
jealous of what? that you're a boxer who never made it big? you're not even a has-been, you're a never-was :P
At the end of the day there is only two Mayweathers that count, Floyd and Roger Mayweather.
I am from Russia....I mean no disrespect...but is very difficult for me to understand what black people say in this country of United State. I like black people but very much difficult problem for me to understand what they say when they speak to me. I have very much problem understanding what he say. I would like very much to understand better...but no not how to.
that's why they have problems.. he dont even give floyd jr the credit for his own success.. wtf
To be fair its a hell of an advantage for a talented kid to basically train as a pro from day1, 4/5 years old. . That only comes from a willing and driven parent. You would see a completely different floyd today if he had a childhood of eating candy, going to movies etc.
sorry but i'm too smart.. i dont have to fight for money!
STOP INTERVIEWING SR LIKE THIS
