I remember when Roger M. entered the ring for his defense against Rocky Lockridge. It was the first time I seen a fighter entering the ring wearing dark sunglasses. It wasn't the last time I seen this but it is the only time I remember. Lockridge has been in with almost everybody in the featherweight division it was going to be a measuring tool to see how good Mayweather was for most of us. Man!, Mayweather learned the hard way that day.
Yeah, that's it. Vinnie Paz, who would of course go on to beat Roy Jones brutally about the gloves with his chin.
When Roger beat him, it was a big, big win.
Vinny Pazienza? It may have been Roger's best performance. He stated in the post-fight interview that his brother (Floyd Sr.) had helped him out with his (shoulder roll) defense which worked to perfection against Paz.

There is some style overlap, and Roger was not pure puncher. He could box. He beat someone aggressive almost entirely with the jab, name escapes me right now, in a fashion quite like Mayweather-Marquez.

It’s funny I was going to say the exact opposite. I found it interesting Roger coaches Floyd and Floyd has the slick counter punching style where Roger in his boxing heyday was an in your face banger. No shoulder rolls from Roger just straight banging.
Peace.

I see a little bit of his style in Floyd...

yall need to see the roger mayweather vs ray lovato!!!!!!
roger looked like he got shot in the head with that KO......
you want to talk about getting KTFO!!!!!! roger's head is hanging on the bottom rope as he's spitting in an attempt to breathe! classic ko, i'm surprised he even got back into the ring after that.
Why did Steele's crooked reffin ass not count two of those knockdowns? Roger needed recovery time.
I'm not hating on JCC, but I was surprised to see Mayweather winning every minute of the fight until that right hand landed.
Not surprising,
Chavez was notorious for slow starts. He'd use the first few rounds to time his opponent and gauge their power. Once he felt he was able to take their best shots with ease, he'd get to work.
Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Roger Mayweather
KTFO
:haha:

I met Roger, nice guy.

Wish I met him before I hit the sports book though. His hesitancy about whether Floyd would win by KO might have tipped me off not to go for the under. :(
