Floyd Mayweather Jr. Launches NSFW Taunt On Manny Pacquiao's Trainer Freddie Roach

Nov 25, 2015 11:29 PM EST | By Rolly Gacelo

Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao make the biggest boxing rivalry in recent years.

The two already fought May 2 wherein the controversial American boxer won via unanimous decision.

Although these two are already half-a-year removed from their "Fight of the Century", the fight and jab trades continue.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. already thought Manny Pacquiao on how to box, now it is the latter's trainer he wants to teach. Pretty Boy has some pointers for trainer Freddie Roach on how to become a good coach after observing the Miguel Cotto lost to Canelo Alvarez fight this weekend.

"If your coach knows you're losing in the fourth round, if that was the case, that's when a trainer needs to step up and say, 'You know what? Pick up the f-----g pace," he told Keith Idec of Boxing Scene.

"You losing.' Or, 'F--k it! Go out like a soldier! Go for the knockout.' If you get caught, that's part of the game. But s--t, the name of the game is kill or be killed. You gotta sacrifice something to get something."

The undefeated American fighter also believes Roach did not bring anything new to the table as what he saw from the Miguel Cotto who lost to Canelo Alvarez fight.

"I hear people talking about Freddie Roach is a legendary trainer," Mayweather said.

"But I think Cotto was fighting the same way before he got with Freddie Roach. I think Pacquiao was fighting the same before he got with Freddie. Both guys were already world champions before they got to Freddie Roach. But when Pacquiao lost to Marquez and he lost to me, they still keep talking about how legendary the coach is. When are y'all going to get on the coach's ass and say, 'You know what? This coach done a f***ed up job."

For him, Roach, who is already in the Boxing Hall of Fame, is not a legend as what most people think.

"I know he's not 100-percent healthy, so I'm not really taking shots at him. I'm just speaking fact. I don't have anything against Freddie Roach, but he's not a legendary coach. As a fighter, he was a club fighter, AKA punching bag. [I'll] tell you who as a good trainer that Cotto had. The Cuban coach that was working with Cotto when he fought me [Pedro Diaz]. He's a good trainer - a very, very good trainer. ... These guys got these trainers working their training camp, holding pads and working with them when they're not 100 percent. If you cannot give me 100 percent, I'm not going to be able to go out there and perform the way I need to perform if I don't have the tools that I need. My Uncle Roger, his mitt work kept me extremely sharp. Now, my Uncle Roger is not 100 percent. I mean, he still holds the pads, but he's not 100 percent."
