Roger was a very big puncher, much harder puncher than Floyd Jr. he had a pretty nasty knockout of Sam Serrano, who was a long time title holder at 130lbs.
and he was undoubtedly a much harder puncher than Jr at 140lbs, he almost finished Pazienza in the 12th round, and Paz didnt get stopped until he fought Roy Jones at Middleweight.
JCC didnt drop him in the 2nd fight, and Roger was a much more sturdy fighter at 140lbs. like I said, he went the distance with up and coming Tsyzu 6 years later.
Chavez often countered jabs to the body with right hands to the head, and even if they missed he would end up on the inside, where he would work more effectively than Castillo did. actually, Chavez himself jabbed to the body to catch up to runners, and followed up with a right hand to the head to close the distance.
