Roger was a very tough fighter who had a 59-13 record. He had heavy hands and had a ton of clean icings. He won the WBA Americas Light Welterweight Title, the WBC light welterweight title, the WBA World super featherweight title, the USBA lightweight title, and the WBC Continental Americas lightweight title.
He may be a blithering kook outside the ring, but he knows his boxing and has had great success with it. Numbers don't lie.
Jeff Mayweather went 32-19-5, but lost every time he stepped up.
Senor had a 29-6-1 mark, but did not come close to Roger's success.

Roger Mayweather was a very good fighter. He gave a young Pernell Whittaker a very tough fight, beat Vinny Paz, and lasted with an up and coming Kostya Tszyu. He was the first man to go 12 rounds with him Roger at his best was as good as anyone. He also beat an incredibly tough fighter in Harold Brazier who was on a 20 fight win streak at the time.
Floyd Senior wasnt bad but his best fights were usually losing efforts. He was very game against Leonard and Starling.
Jeff was a solid veteran. He was pretty cagey but far from elite.

Roger could fight,he just had a chin with the predictability of a jack in the box...still don't know how he made it 12 rounds with a streaking Tszyu.Could be caught ugly in the blink of an eye....Pineda,Pendleton,Lockridge,Lovato all one punch KO losses and Brazier all but had him Ko'd.He had one of the better straight right hands in his weight range when he was hot,and could starch or stun many,including Chavez for a moment......Jeff was somewhat a passive boring cutie who never found the next step up.
