iamasadlittleboy Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Can anyone list them for me? I know Hatton, Dawson and Guzman have all been trained by one or another Mayweather and have all been either failed a drugs test or been found taking an illegal drug. Just wondering if they have any more similar incidents... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Mayweather to train Sam Peter I've heard and also Vargas. Fernando Vargas Returns! Trained By Mayweather By George Cotton Jr For quite sometime there has been talk about a comeback.... now its a done deal. After a three-year hiatus, former world champion Fernando Vargas will return to the boxing ring in 2011.Vargas, 33, announced Friday he'll face super middleweight Henry Buchanan on April 16 at Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas. It will be his first fight since suffering a majority decision loss to Ricardo Mayorga in November 2007. "I took three years off and I'm still young. I'm excited about fighting again and I know I can win another world title." Vargas has hinted at a comeback before, but says it became a real goal eight months ago when he moved out of his long-time home in Southern California to Las Vegas to train under Floyd Mayweather Sr. "Vargas is serious and he is putting in the work to win another title. He has the skills, now its a matter of putting everything together", said Mayweather Sr. Vargas has also shed a ton of weight and admits that he struggled to make weight for years throughout his title reign at Jr. Middleweight. Fighting at 168lbs will be much easier to Vargas. According to Vargas, problems with managing his weight were actually a major factor in his decision to leave the sport. Although he fought the majority of his career at 154 pounds, he said that getting there each time took a huge toll on his body. "I was tired of these guys never fighting me unless it was at 154," Vargas said. "Oscar De La Hoya, Shane Mosley -- none of them would fight me if it wasn't at 154. I was always crunching down my body and not eating." Vargas (26-5, 22 KO) will look to stop Buchanan (20-2, 13 KO) who went the distance with current Super Middleweight Champion Andre Ward back in 2009. Interesting to see how Vargas' comeback goes....

grapevine241 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 wait what's this about dawson failing a drug test? im asking because i dont know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavpowell Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Yeah, early on in his career he failed a post-fight for marijuana. I think I remember reading that's why he went to loght-heavy, though i'm not immediately sure why that makes any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

londoner Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Floyd Sr trained ODLH for a few years and trained Hatton for 2 fights. As for Roger, i'm not sure. I just googled him and couldn't find anyone he's trained. Has he only ever trained Floyd Jr? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
