Who was better, Roger Mayweather or Floyd Sr?

[F!x]

Roger actually learned a lot of his boxing knowledge from Floyd Sr when he was younger

It doesnt matter. Floyd Sr did a horrible job with hatton, and I hear he left the arena without checking if Hatton was ok? Fair play on Dawson and DLH, but To me, prime Floyd Jr. Was with Roger a majority of the time, not Sr.

He didn't leave the arena, he was actually concerned about the way Hatton got KO'd. @ you believing that a trainer wouldn't care.

When Roger was training Floyd Jr, Floyd Sr was still in the background often giving instructions to Floyd Jr. But Floyd Jr would pick and choose the advice he took and used. During the Gatti pressers, you'll hear Floyd use phrases that he could've only gotten from Floyd Sr (such as 'there's nothing cool about taking punishment, the less punches you take, the longer you last in the sport, etc). Even in the Corrales fight, you see and hear Floyd Sr on camera, in the background at ringside giving some instructions to Floyd Jr, and Floyd Jr TURNED AROUND listening and Roger too.

Floyd's dad was a very talented fighter but when Ray Leonard and drugs and all the issues he was having are in your way sometimes it just doesn't work out no matter how talented you are. But seriously the guy's still a pretty serious athelete for a senior citizen. In his sixties he could probably bust most of our azzes up.

I was browsing boxing videos on youtube and i came back across the 24-7 episode where Floyd is fighting his dad. So I watched it again. It was entertaining, at the end Floyd said the only Mayweathers that counted was him and Roger and that his dad wasnt ****. How true is it?

ya roger was a true world champion, floyd was just a journeyman

[Evol]

they both suck but i'll have to give sr the nod over roger. who the hell has roger train besides floyd? atleast sr. has trained a few top fighters under his belt.

Watch mayweather/Chavez 2 and u will have your answer. Roger was that good. Definitely works class. Probably much better than say adrien broner for instance.

And his fight with Whitaker. He troubled both, dropped Whitaker and have Chavez a whole load of problems in the second fight.

Or his fight with Serrano when he won his first title.

He has quite a few impressive wins.

Roger was very good, if he had a better chin and better discipline he could have been much better.

Obviously better than Floud Sr and like you said better than Broner.

That's true, Sr is the one that got the family into boxing.
