"The Prodigy" BJ Penn hires Floyd Mayweather Sr. as his trainer in preparation for his fight against John Fitch at UFC 127. A lot of fans would certainly ask why Mr. Floyd. According to the news, Penn wants to improve his boxing skills and went and dropped most of his old trainers and picked Mr. Mayweather Sr. to train him and improve his punching skills. The Prodigy has no problem with his ground game being a jiu jitsu champ and what he wants to improve is his striking game. Penn really has to improve and develop more than what he does. By looking at his consecutive losses against Frankie Edgar, Penn's performance didn't seem to take off that much which is a lot different than what he usually had before though he was able to knock Hughes out in their recent match. Losing twice from a versatile and very agile fighter like edgar is what might have pushed Penn to improve his fighting skills. And now he hires Mr. Mayweather to train him for his upcoming fight against John Fitch at UFC 127. Penn was originally training boxing with Roach and then drops him and went to hire Floyd Sr.
