    Roger was a good fighter, he’s uneducated or ignorant if he thinks otherwise.

      He gave Prime Chavez a lot of problems too.

      His best win was against Serrano for the Lineal 130 on title.
      I wouldn’t say he gave him a lot of problems. First fight Chavez took him out early, second fight Roger frustrated JCC early on but Chavez was a notoriously slow starter. It never felt like Roger was ever going to win either fight, Chavez was a level above in all honesty.

        He definitely gave him problems in the 2nd one. He took quite a few rounds and troubled him with his jab and movement.

        Chavez was a level above because he was a great fighter and Roger wasn’t. But still, he earned Chavez’ respect in that fight as he showed in the post fight interview.

          Roger was obviously the better fighter. I hope this is a troll post or a don't know much about boxing new guy post to even ask a question like this.

          The trainer angle is more arguable. I'd go with Floyd Sr there. I think Floyd Sr worked with more guys & had success with a few guys. As far as I recall Roger pretty much only trained Floyd Jr. The only other person I recall him training is some girl fighter he got sued for choking or some sh^t like that.

            Yeah man there’s no shame in being a level below JCC. Roger was a world class fighter but Chavez was an elite fighter. Chavez really invested in the body in their second fight, basically punched the fight out out of Roger in the later rounds. Once Chavez got into his rhythm he was virtually impossible to slow down.

              He was my favorite May weather hilarious
              Why is he your favorite Mayweather?
              cause of his fighting skills, his training technique or cause he interviews everyone at Mayweather's gym.

                Calling Roger an average fighter means you have no idea what you're talking about.

                  Roger was the much better fighter IMO.

                    Lol, Roger was world level fighter. Floyd sr. was not even a contender.

                    Is this serious question?
