Question

Whose is the better coach/person to be in floyds corner?

Floyd senior did a fine job early

Roger took it on well also

I actually wouldn't like to say on that one

Roger has diabetes, impaired vision (due to diabetes) and is not very healthy to stand 12 rounds on full attention to Floyd bout. So, he is out of coaching possibility from some time. He is 56 and talking/behavioring as if were on Bromazepam effect or with 80+ years old.

If were possible... Well, I think it depends on which strategy to follow, both coaches use different strategies and are quite a bit balanced in offense and defense. I can be wrong, but as far as I know, Roger IMO was focused on offense and cunning bit more than defense, Floyd Sr. focuses a bit more on defense, counter punches and related. Floyd seem to have much more attention and mutual respect to Roger than his father its just pay attention to at least 20 fights he coached Floyd, Roger had more experience against top boxers than Floyd Sr. to pass tricks to Floyd thus IMO has much more "resources".
