    Now i have seen Lil Floyd come up threw the ranks but never paid much attention to the family BS he had.
    THey are showing him against Tony Pep who was 39-6 and Floyd was 16-0 but damm Floyd is just gunning him down, stalking him and just outgunning him while really being aggressinve and actually enjoyable!:doh:

    So did his Uncle make him boring because in the corner its Sr, Miguels Diaz and Jeff.

    Just wondering because i like this Floyd im watching.

    Yes.

    One Mayweather is offensive, two Mayweathers is likely to be very offensive. Offensively rude and obnoxious.

    I think that with daddy he mix offense and defense better...with Roger he became a more defensive fighter...but that might because his opponents were bigger and better...against Gatti/N'dou he was BRUTAL..but against DLH and Castillo he was too defensive..

    Hard to say. But the main factor is definitely the higher weight divisions.

    I think both Roger and Floyd sr. are way overrated as trainers.

    They are ok but they are mostly known for Floyd Jr. who is so naturally talented he would have been good with any trainer.

    Perhaps, but his style is his dad's style.

    If it wasn't for his dad, Floyd wouldn't have litteraly grown up in a boxing gym.

    Seems like it.....but I think he tones it down depending on the level of comp and the style matchup.

    That's part of the problem though...what irks me about Floyd Sr. is that he will force that style to whatever fighter he's training, no matter what their strengths or weaknesses or natural talents/inclinations.

    It is only very recently that I've seen that change in the slightest...and it likely has more to do with the fighter than Floyd Sr.

    Peace.

    that was a great fight. I love when FLoyd opens up..

    although it was smart of him to be defense when fighting DLH and these bigger guys
