Floyd Mayweather Jr. Vs. Roger Mayweather

[la-califa]

Straight up, head to head, who was the better boxer in a clash at 140 Lbs.

[Sizzle]

Floyd is in another class altogether.

I can't see Roger causing him any stylistic problems.

Floyd by wide UD.

[achillesthegreat]

Mayweather Sr is C class fighter, Roger B class and Junior A class. Floyd is the creme de le creme. Roger was a quality fighter but no Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Well said!

[JohnThomas1]

Roger would be awkward for a time, his beautiful blend of speed and power would see to this allied to the fact PBF is no Chavez stylistically. Roger's achilles heel is his chin. Roger would certainly make PBF showcase his brilliant talents.

[Bummy Davis]

Black Mamba was a good fighter and a harder puncher than Floyd, dont count him out

[Cobra33]

A c level boxer??

Ruben Munoz 14-1 W12-USBA lightweight title
Carlton Sparrow 19-1 tko4
Samuel Serano 49-3 tko 8 WBA superfeatherweight title
Jorge Alvardo-19-0 tko8
Benedicto Villablanca 30-7 tko1
Tony baltazar 24-2-1 L10 (pure robbery.Regarded as a horrible decision)
Efrain Nievies- 19-4 W10
Billy White 13-0 tko 5
Kenny Baysmore 20-0 tko 5
Mario Martienez 38-2-2 W10
Walter Simms 15-2-2 W10
Oscar Benijes 32-3-3 tko7
Sergio Zambrano 34-1-1 tko6
Sammy Fuentes 13-4 tko9

Now you are correct in that mayweather's chin semmed a bit shaky at times.He has knockout losses to Chavez,Lockridge,and Pendleton.

But at jr.welter the only person to ever to knock him out was Rafel Pineda who is 100 times a harder puncher then Floydd.The second Chavez bout Mayweather quit on his stool.
It seems that having to drain his body to make weight was indeed a major factor in Mayweather's ability to take shots because as soon as he moved up to jr.welter his chin seemed fine.
He went the distance with Tszyu who everyone knows is a hard puncher.
He stopped Bramble who had NEVER been stopped.
THis is hardly a "c" level boxer.

Ive always maintaned that if he met Floydd at jr.welter he would defeat Floydd due to the fact that while Floydd is quicker =Mayweather has a huge edge in power and can box as well behind a puinshing jab.And Mayweather had some pretty fast hands.

ATG said Floyd Sr is a C class fighter, not Roger. He said Roger is a B class fighter, which of course, is correct.

Roger Mayweather may pose some problems for Floyd with his reach and power, but he's not going to win the same amount of rounds as Floyd and he's not knocking Floyd out, so he'd lose.

[Cobra33]

If Corley can stagger Mayweather Roger can do it since he hits 5 x as hard.
When you have the type of power Roger had you have a chance to ko anyone if you land correctly.

[la-califa]

Roger would be able to move around & utilize his boxing ability & keep Floyd on the edge of his jab. racking up points. Judah was very effective in the early rounds by boxing Floyd, before Judah stopped attacking. A slick boxer might pose major problems for Floyd. I would pick Roger for a points win over twelve rounds. I don't see Floyd hurting Roger so it would go down to a pure boxing match with Roger's jab being the dominent weapon.

[achillesthegreat]

When you have the type of power Roger had you have a chance to ko anyone if you land correctly.
When you have the type of defence Floyd has you have a chance at stopping even the most devastating punchers from landing correctly.

[Cobra33]

And who has Floydd ever KNOCKED OUT?

[brooklyn1550]

Floyd Mayweather UD12 Roger Mayweather

[TBooze]

Lil Floyd is a level above the Black Mamba

[Cobra33]

Roger Mayweather W12 Floydd Mayweather

And who has Floydd ever KNOCKED OUT?
What does this have to do with what I said?

Who here is saying that Floyd would brutalise Roger? However if Sweet Pea had him perpetually stunned and hurt then I am sure Floyd is going to give his uncle some pain.

[sweet_scientist]

Which elite fighters has Roger ever knocked out to give us reason to think he could catch Floyd and KO him? Sure if he landed clean and flush he probably could stop Floyd, but he never stopped an elite fighter throughout his career.

He's knocked out some decent fighters, but not anyone on Floyd's level. Everytime he went up against the elite he got worked, and (sometimes he got worked against the non-elite).

[Cobra33]

IF he can find Whittaker's chin and knock him on his ass he'll find Mayweathers chin.
Roger took out 4/5 former world champions.
Samuel Serrano-tko8
Renne Arrendono-tko6
Rodolfo Gonzales -tko12
Vinny Pazienza-w12
Livingstone Bramble-tko 5


See Roger's chin isn't the best but Floydd couldn't hurt him.
And Roger has a much better jab then Floydd.
And Roger has 1 punch knockout power in his righthand.

[AREA 53]

ant help but think that if Rocky Lockrige could ice Roger in the first, the Quicksliver Floyd would also Ambush him when he wanted to spring the trap.

[Cobra33]

Alot of Mayweather's losses were due to weight problems.

[KOTF]

Floyd by decision over uncle Roger

[ThinBlack]

Straight up, head to head, who was the better boxer in a clash at 140 Lbs.

Floyd's definitely a better boxer than Roger, though not by much.
