Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Roger Mayweather - Who would have won at lightweight ?

Question

Roger was a great fighter in his time. Had a chance to see him fight a few times in Las Vegas and at the Forum. Not sure if he could have beat Mayweather Jr. or if they ever would have fought, being they are related ? I think Roger would have had a chance to give Jr. some problems due to his reach and height advantage ?

Answer 1

I agree would woody mayweather would win this one pretty easy. Roger was one dementoinal, floyd sr. would have gave roger problems. floyd sr. was a very good boxer he just lacked punching power. but sill after he whooped in lenord for the first four rounds but was stopped in the later bout he had a brite future. but how can you work on your career when your out do to gunshot wounds from. I wish that mayweather sr. had dominated the welterweight diviion that way people wouldnt even be second guessing mayweather jr talent

Answer 2

floyd Mayweather would have stopped Roger the doger same as Chavez did,just not quite got the strength to do real battle!

Answer 3

I think the nephew would beat the uncle in that matchup. Floyd would overcome the height and reach difference.

Answer 4

It would have been interesting for a few rounds, but I believe that Roger would a have been KO'ed. Roger simply didn't have a great jaw and was easy to knock down if he was hit and believe me....Floyd would be hitting him. Roger also was not as good defensively as his nephew Floyd.
