Its a shame, i think Mayweather is a great trainer for Dawson. Now Dawson is with Eddie Mustafa Muhammad.

I thought Dawson was making nice progress with Mayweather. I wonder why they split up?

Because you can't understand Mayweather Sr. half the time.

I remember during the lead up to the Adamek fight, Dawson and Mayweather didn't talk to each other respectively for the first half of their camp, and during the Ruiz fight, Dawson started camp without Mayweather so it was only a matter of time before the two of them spit.

I'm not all that huge a Floyd Sr. fan, though he is damn entertaining. He was imploring Chad to try to get a KO against Adamek, and sure enough shortly thereafter Dawson gets KDd.

Now, that's Dawson's fault for getting careless, but at the same time Mayweather should have understood the situation better. Adamek was still coming forward and throwing hard shots.

On the other hand, this is Dawson's second trainer change in less than a year. You have to wonder what the hell's going on. I'd actually like to see him get with Steward, who could probably get to Chad a whole lot better than he has with Jermain Taylor.

I'd swear Floyd Sr. was a crackhead if I didn't know better. He always starts off with something like the above.

Roach actually has a little bit of a speech hiccup too, and not just because of Parkinsons. "Look, Manny, OK, we've gotta set traps for this guy, Ok."

Kinda sucks for Dawson.

Mayweather Sr. is key.

Why do you say? Dawson was pretty good with Birmingham, too. I think Chad is looking for someone who will make him his No. 1 fighter over all others.

We'll see. I'm generally not a fan of changes like this four weeks out from a fight, though.

I hope this doesnt affect Dawson, i though Floyd Sr. was doing a good job with him as a fighter.

Couse Mayweather knows his shit. He knows how to win a fight. imo hes one of the top best trainers out there. But I don't know for sure if it has little effect to him or not. We will see.

Lets hope the changes doesn't confuse Dawson too much. I think a blend of Roach and Steward would make Dawson even more lethal - maybe ATG if everythings works out perfectly.

Obviously not gonna happen. But it'd be cool to see Dawson come over to the U.K and train with someone like Ingle for a couple of years.

I believe the stability issue is a real concern -- I always hearken back to Gerald McClellan's ill-timed split with Emmanuel Steward (over money, I believe) -- but Floyd Sr himself does not impress me a whole lot during fights.

His push for a KO against Adamek is just one example. I didn't agree with it at the time and almost got proven right.

Mayweather is a good trainer, he is probably expensive too. He looks sscary and he looks like he says a lot of crzy stuff too lol Chad is a young fighter and probably thinks he has learned all he could from Mayweather Sr. i think it will end up coming back to haunt him.....Maybe like September 29 or something like that HAHA
