"Floyd Mayweather's uncle Roger, who also trained the boxing legend, has died.

The 58-year-old, who was also a professional boxer until 1999, is believed to have been suffering from poor health, including diabetes.

Roger trained his nephew when he turned professional in 1996 until his father was released in prison two years later.
He returned to Floyd's corner between 2000 and 2012 as he became recognised as the best pound-for-pound fighter in boxing.
He later developed memory problems and went missing for several days in Las Vegas in 2016...

Apparently he had been in declining health over the past decade.

Interesting to see in BoxRec where his nickname was Black Mamba.

I thought Kobe Bryant was the only pro athlete with that nickname.

Stop making duplicate threads, check the forum before you post in future.

I think I saw him fight late in his career and he was world class fighter. I can see where Floyd got his boxing style from Roger. Floyd did mention his uncle's health condition was caused by boxing and not wanting to have the same issues when he would retire.

RIP Champ.

Not a good time for Floyd.

Too bad. Roger never looked that healthy in the old Floyd pre fight vids. He looked older than 58. Rip

Actually TitoFan posted the thread before mine because when I hit post, his thread came up in the what's new? list. It's merged, no drama and whatever you think of him, a hall of fame trainer has died. Plum.

It always saddens me to hear of people younger than myself passing away.

Rest in peace, Roger Mayweather.
