my dad has always said that roger was better floyd sr and that PBF is better than both of them.
Ya Roger did have a better career than Floyd, Sr.
Roger had chin problems as well, but he was a different type of fighter than either Floyd Sr. or Floyd Jr.
Roger was a puncher, not a defense/finesse fighter. He had a really good straight right hand. In fact, Roger knocked Pernell Whitaker down with a flush right hand in their fight. He's the only person other than Tito who ever really hurt Whitaker with a punch.
Yeah.... but honestly, Whittaker was clowning him at that point, and there was some hostility towards one another going in to the fight. I think pernell was just overconfident at that point, it was his first big fight, after all..
