Freddie and Manny...

By Chris Robinson

During a recent swing through the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas, I caught up with trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. to follow up on a BoxingScene.com report from Ryan Burton about the trainer’s possible involvement in a new boxing reality series that will likely be launching early next year.

When asked about what his role on the new series might pertain, Mayweather Sr. was quite vague, but did hint that he may find himself competing against other well-known trainers in the sport.

The concept sounds similar to the “Contender” series that launched on NBC in 2005, and while discussing the new project, Mayweather Sr. couldn’t help but praise his own abilities as a teacher.

Then, out of nowhere, Mayweather Sr. took a big swipe at another one of today’s more revered trainers.

Over the past year, Kazakhstan native Gennady Golovkin has established himself as one of the sport’s pure punchers while also showing himself to be a true gentleman outside of the ropes.

As punishing of a fighter as there seems to be on today’s landscape, Golovkin comes across as completely modest once one takes the time to get to know him.

Set to defend his WBA middleweight title against Curtis Stevens on Nov. 2 in an HBO showdown from the Theatre at Madison Square Garden, Golovkin had spent  nearly the past two months tucked away in the mountains of Big Bear, Calif. as he prepared for the match.

During that time, I was able to gather Golovkin’s thoughts on another significant fight taking place three weeks after his; the Manny Pacquiao vs. Brandon Rios clash.
