Roach Details The Gym Incident With Roger Mayweather

Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach detailed the bad blood that exists between himself and the Mayweather family. According to Roach, the mutual dislike spans several decades.
The tension first began many years ago, when Roach and Roger Mayweather were still active fighters. Roach explained an incident in the gym, which began the years of bad blood, between him and Roger.
"I trained in the same gym with them. I’ve known Floyd since he was five years old, he grew up in the gym, he just learned how to fight on his own. He was born in the boxing gym. Roger was in the gym some times and me and Roger sparred one time and he wasn’t a big puncher when he first came out, when he was 126-pounds and I was 122-pounds," Roach told On The Ropes Boxing Radio .
"We sparred four rounds and I don’t think I hit him once and I think he hit me a couple of times but he just ran all night long. The next day he asked me if I wanted to spar again and I said, “No, I already did my roadwork this morning.” He got mad at me and we’ve never been friends since."
On May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Roach's star fighter - Manny Pacquiao - will face Roger's nephew, Floyd Mayweather Jr.
For most of Floyd's high level success, Roger has been the head trainer. For the fight in May, Roger will step aside due to health issues and Floyd Mayweather Sr. will work the corner as head trainer.
"There’s dislike between us, they’re not my favorite people but I like that the dad is in the corner and not Roger because the dad gets stutters and gets really excited and he really has trouble getting the information to his fighter out. I think it’s a plus for us and I think Roger is the better trainer because he’s been there longer, that’s just my opinion at this point," Roach said.

AMIR KHAN BREAKS DOWN MAYWEATHER VS. PACQUIAO; RECALLS FLAWS HE NOTICED IN PACQUIAO WHILE SPARRING
By Ben Thompson | March 27, 2015
"In that fight, I've really got Mayweather. I think Mayweather, hands down, will take the fight. Obviously Manny's been in a lot of wars. I think five years ago, it would've been an exciting fight to watch. They were both at their peak. But since then, Manny Pacquiao's been knocked out. He's had two bad losses and he's had a lot of wars. It breaks down a fighter, having a lot of wars; back-to-back wars and tough fights and tough training camps. I think that's affected Manny," stated former world champion Amir Khan, who shared his thoughts on the long-awaited May 2 mega-fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. According to Khan, who sparred several times with Pacquiao in the past, there are certain flaws and tendencies in the 8-division world champion that Mayweather will be able to exploit.
"He likes to tap, tap, tap his feet and then jump in with a combination. When Manny stops his feet, you know he's going to throw a punch. He'll stop moving and you know the combination is going to come. Otherwise, he won't move. I think Mayweather will be smart and take a big stride back and catch him with hooks and straight punches. But I think with this fight, he's going to come to Mayweather with a different plan. He'll think his hand speed and the work rate will win him the fight," Khan explained during a recent conversation with FightHype.com. "I think he'll get caught a lot in that fight. you know, Mayweather can catch you, but I think it could be a tough fight for Mayweather depending on how Mayweather comes. Mayweather has to really put on a lot of pressure, like he fought against Mosley. He was walking forward, defending and then fighting. Mayweather doesn't fight like that anymore with that pressure. Now he's more back to normal again."
Based on the success that he had with him in sparring, Khan is not confident that Pacquiao will be able to execute a game plan that Mayweather hasn't already diffused before. "The way I see it, Manny Pacquiao is going to come to Mayweather like Canelo did. He's going to rush at him and use his feet, foot work, and angles and stuff, but angles are only going to work on an opponent if he stands in front of you and Mayweather is not one of them fighters who stands in front of you. It's single shots that catch Manny as well. Combinations, he only gets caught with a shot in between, but when you throw single one-two's, you always catch Manny," Khan continued. "I mean, I was never hurt in sparring by him. He is strong. I mean, I've seen him spar with Shawn Porter and Shawn Porter used to have his way. Shawn Porter, you know, he's the same size as Mayweather. Manny doesn't seem as strong as he used to be. Manny, to me, doesn't seem like he hits as hard as he used to hit and his body is not like it used to be. Obviously he's getting older as well. With age, he's not going to be as affective and he's not going to be as explosive as he used to be. That's why I said five years ago, it would've been a different fight."

The Ohio Powerhouse used to have his way with Manny Pacquiao?
#PortersPosse
I dont believe you "Lying King" Khan
Unfortunately, you lie all the damn time, so even saying what you're saying about Manny/The Ohio Powerhouse seems fishy
Yes, Showtime Shawn may have gotten his big shots in, but he was nowhere near just "having his way"
And you were never hurt by Manny in sparring either?
That's not what all the reports were saying back then either

Manny put the beats on the Russian Rocky, dropped The Ohio Powerhouse (who's much larger than Pacquiao) twice.....but yet we're supposed to believe that the same Prime & Peak version of Pacquiao couldnt hurt the china chin Khan in sparring
I remember easing that manny doesn't go hard on his sparring partners, but I find that hard to believe... Shouldn't u be going hard in sparring?
Mentioning the Porters, I saw the interview with the dad he saying there is no way Floyd is dominating manny.
Maybe he saying that cuz there friends or it's stuff he saw in the gym.

think about it.. If you have good sparring partners like Khan, Ghost, and Porter, are you trying to take them out..hurt them in sparring?? Or are you trying to keep them around for hundreds of rounds??
Roach said on many occasions Khan dropped and stopped Manny the reason he was barred from sparring ..
