    All I can say is, what's not to like about the Mayweather family.

    They went through some hard times, got up and bounced back.

    Now, the son is the highest paid and most skilled boxer in the world. P4P #1.

    The Father and Uncle are making more bank as trainers than Joe Calzaghe made in his whole career. Plus, they are only half way finished.

    Ultimately, Mayweather Promotions will take over for GBP and very likely become 10x as large.

    As Don King likes to say; Only In America!

    Sr had Dawson looking like a beast. According to Sr now Chad couldn't spell box if you spot him a B and a X.

    If you remove Floyd Jr. from the equation Floyd Sr. and Roger are just a notch above average trainers.

    He's passed away now, obviously, but I think you have to consider Manny Steward part of this era. As such, I definitely put him at #1

    I personally think Uncle Roger Mayweather is one of the best trainers I have ever seen. I rate Miguel Diaz, Joe Mensah, Curtis Cokes, Eddie Futch, Angelo Dundee and Manny Steward highly.
