Roger got old over night, anyone who seen them train yesterday could pick up on it, when Roger and Floyd were doing mitts in the ring floyd and roger kept getting halted from mis-timing. Floyd would literally tell Roger he not doing it right and move Roger mitts into the spot he should have placed the mitt so they can do there flawless pad work.

Floyd probably said something to Roger that had him under the impression that he was going to fight Manny eventually.
that's why Roger said on an interview a while ago that Floyd will eventually fight Manny or he will be labeled the "biggest coward in boxing history".
when i read that article, i was like, lol i hope Floyd really told you that he was going to fight Manny in the future or you're in trouble. well, we all know Floyd still dont want none.
i just didn't expect FLoyd to "fire" Roger because of that, Roger probably hurt Floyds sensitive feelings. it hit a nerve. lol
and what is the best wway to hurt Roger? by hiring Sr. lol

Sometimes you come across a difficult style, I don't think that performance had anything to do with Roger, or who was training him.

You want to know what the reality is and why it doesn't matter who is the trainer? It's because after 40+ fights and being one of the best to ever box, Floyd isn't going to change anything he is doing at 36 years old and 17 years in the game.
I know there's a lot of "trainers" who will say differently, but it's hard or impossible to teach an old dog new tricks. You can tweak things here and there but in the heat of battle, a fighter like Floyd is going to do what he's always done.
Plus, Roger has already said that he let's Floyd do whatever he wants, Floyd runs the show in that gym and Sr. has a strong personality like he does and that's why their heads have clashed.
