He only has Jr, I think he's a solid trainer. But, a lot of people overrate him as a trainer.
But, he was a damn good fighter.
Very good fighter but who do you think would have won, Roger or Sr in their prime?

I mean you can have all the skills you want as an amateur. Doesn't make you a great pro.
Also another key aspect is they have great chemistry. There's no denying that.
For example a lot of people like Roach is seen as a great trainer but it seems he didn't have the chemistry with the likes of Izzy Vazquez and B-Hop. When Roach was even saying that they should retire. Both left him went with other trainers and had success. Because, they went with other trainers where they had that chemistry.
So I give Roger credit for that, with his work with Floyd.
Roger was a better fighter than Sr. Doesn't mean Sr was a bum or cab driver or whatever that ignorant imbecile called him.
