Known for flaunting his wealth to the public, Mayweather may be a great fighter, but leaves much room to be desired when talking about his personality, according to Roach.
"He's not the best guy in the world. He's a great fighter, but I don't think he's a good person. He throws money around, and there's so many poor people out there," Roach told thesweetscience.com.
"He's a bad example. If I had a kid and he idolized him, I'd be pissed off. He's not a good role model. Manny Pacquiao is the best role model."
Mayweather, who proclaims himself as "the best ever," earlier said that Pacquiao will just be another notch on his unbeaten record.
But the Hall of Fame trainer Roach has other plans.
"Losing would not be the worst thing for Floyd. I think he needs to be humbled, and I think Manny Pacquiao is the one to do it," Roach said. —JST, GMA News
