    Roger and lil Floyd have a great relationship, and by the time they are in the ring no stone is left unturned.. Roger is the best boxing technician of all of the mayweathers and was the True Boxing mayweather from day one.. When you have a man like Floyd as your charge it is not that often that any drastic measures need adressing in the corner.. but when it is needed at all, the best subtle advice is indeed offerred by Roger.. He is 100% the best man for Floyd without doubt, anyone could do 40 percent of the corner work , but Tight family is the best alround and Roger is the one man who knows his nephew 110%... He offeres most everything to the team as a whole.. You better ask somebody. lmao... God Bless..

    That was a good video, I have to admit I haven't seen that Roger in a long time, I guess it's more of a testament to floyd becoming the fighter he is.

    ALOT of people forget Roger has over 75 pro fights with many of them at world level and was a champ, so he sees stuff from a fighters point of view in a world class fight and he actually gives floyd really good advice over the course of a fight its incoherent to most but as long as floyd understands him, like roger kept telling floyd to go to Cotto's body and floyd came back and told him between rounds this guys in shape, im going to the body

    Most people look at the last leg of Floyd's career with roger and don't realize all the yelling screaming and arguing took place earlier on in his career. Roger doesn't have to do much now because the foundation was laid earlier.

    Roger knows who Floyd can bang with(aka walk down) and who he should keep away from or as he likes to say box dat mufuca and keep that stick on him

    No. First of all, asking what Roger does for Floyd is like asking what the person you love does for you. Secondly, Floyd and Roger have history. They have a technique and routine they've built. It's more of a mutual connection than x's and o's. A big part of of Boxing is the mental aspect. I'm sure Floyd can win fights on his own. But Roger gives him an edge he may never want to lose.

    its not about what he does for him now so much. he trains gives advice. probably taught him so much over the years. rodger was underrated as a fighter. he knows the ins an outs of the game

    He does pretty much what Alton Merkerson does for RJJ. Guys like RJJ and Mayweather already know what they're supposed to do in the ring, their trainers know that and all they do is reassure in the corner.

    A glorified mitt holder to be honest....... else, why doesn't anyone else hire him? I think he trains a few prospects and women.

    Pretty sure he watches tape and develops a fight plan.
