Damn...we lost a great legend

[@TheChoice264]

So, Roger fought a LEGIT fight against a prime great in Julio Cesar Chavez. He fought a great fight. Roger was a good champion, and never ducked anyone. He fought them all. He was a warrior and could punch like hell. I apologize for all the posts. I just love to talk boxers and boxing. Peace.

[@PUREGRAPP]

One of my favorite fighters ever. That right hand of his was killer.

[@Sms68]

Roger was a Great Technical Fighter and had Great defense. He was very relaxed in the ring if you go back and watch his fights...

[@jiujitsujedi]

I would rather watch Roger fight instead of Floyd anytime. He actually gave a good show! He really laced them up!

[@HatersHaveOpinion1]

Roger vs Pernell

[@TheWorldByCristian]

People never take into account that Chavez didn't grow up training for the olympics or had proper health care, nutrition, ect. He grew up a poor child in mexico in a bad time and u.s poverty didn't even compare to mexico's poverty! That's why he was so iconic to all the mexican's who could relate to him, He wasn't fast, he shouldn't have even won a lot of those fights on paper but he did. And he wasn't just a brawler, if you knew anything about boxing, you knew he had great defense and offense. He slipped punches, he pressured fighters, he had accuracy, footwork, he didn't waste punches, he could lead with his chin, he had power, he was outmatched sometimes and he figured out a way to win. he may have looked like a brawler to those who don't know boxing but he fought intelligently..he was very smart in the ring and had alot of heart. Doing what he did is not easy and you can't appreciate it until you are actually fighting someone faster and more skilled than you.. he didn't just swing to get a lucky shot, he had timing. He is one of the greatest and towards the end of his career he wasn't the same, he didn't grow up with all the advantages u.s children had so of course his body would've aged and he would get slower. I hate how some people are quick to put Chavez down but they don't even realize how different life was back then, now things are different. If he would have grown up in this time he would've been even better and he is already great. We have more advantages to become better boxers but Chavez he didn't..and Now He is A legend.

[@ultoman333]

King Jackson mexico is hella poorer than any place in the us. believe me.

[@bobbymarly1]

King Jackson What happend to roger u clown, got wasted by chavez, 90 fights unbeaten he was the greatest

[@theterrible585]

Wow bro, very well said!

[@kartiersupremewhite330]

It’s Such a Pleasure to listen to the Humble Man Speak about boxing!

[@BROWNREDFOWL]

even he recognizes jcc's greatness

[@REALMEXREV]

Wait wtf? Chavez wasnt a great boxer? the man was like 86-0 before he lost his first fight to frankie randall who tested positive for steroids after the fight.He holds the record for most title defenses thats freaken impressive. You dont accomplish that by just being smart and strong you also have to have a high-level of skill, a great chin and tremendous heart.

[@MiguelGonzalezP]

89-0

[@EStroz585]

Haters dont want you to believe, they want you to doubt yourself like they(haters) do

[@viejonmty]

J.C. Chavez was the man fought and beat the best of the best in three weight divisions he was the full package incredible power,speed and footwork endurance and defense Roger didnt know where to run when he fought Chavez

[@MiguelGonzalezP]

Whitaker didn't want prime Chavez 140lb.

[@TooFreshproductions]

very good, wisdom from roger

[@jerry328i]

there should be a "On Roger Mayweather" HBO special, will draw more attention 4 sure

[@jaythekinginthe323]

atleast he admits chavez was hes toughest fight

[@1IImrxII1]

Rogers a great trainer and good person ...... To be honest it seems like Floyds dad was a bad influence but Roger saved Floyd and mold him in to what he is .... Great boxer and behind cameras can be really kind

[@juanjolivares3291]

Haha his chin didnt beat you it was his fist

[@edDbalaM]

he fought in another weightclass too... chavez get slow in welter, in his prime and weight, he never lost, and destroy soul and body bad his opponents,

[@MiguelGonzalezP]

Chavez move to welter just to fight pernell. He did not want to fight chavez at 140. He avoided prime chavez?

[@TheChoice264]

Winners, true winners, believe it or not, are not slaves to outcomes. They understand that the toughest battle they will ever fight is the battle of self. The toughest opponent they face each day is the one staring back at them in the mirror. If they can conquer that opponent,they have no fear of any other opponent, for they know that they have overcome and are ready. The actual prize fight is the easy part. Win,lose or draw,you know that you came to win, and you gave it your all. That's heaven.

[@HoodstaSlimm]

My Uncle Rocky Lockridge!!! Knocced his ass out 1st round and took that title. 💪🏾

[@mamadousow8290]

So

[@SlyBoyKash]

Roger Mayweather and his Brother were good fighters.

[@jamm356]

he wasnt a great boxer but not all boxers are great he was tough great chin and was very intelligent in the ring and had a great inside game thats probably a boxers worst nightmare overall he was a great fighter and a legend and never ducked anybody boxer or not

[@modarjiande9470]

RIP ROGER THE LEGEND

[@TheChoice264]

Very intelligent comment young man. There is NO SHAME getting beat by an all-time great. There is no shame in getting beat by anyone that you climb into the ring with. The only shame there is is when you did not give it your all, and that starts with training camp. When you defeat yourself, that's the only shame. Did you do your roadwork to completion? Did you eat right? Did you fine-tune your skills, log rounds,come up with the best possible strategy,study film,etc. Did you prepare to win?

[@RohandraBonisha]

a fairly good display of boxer brain here :)

[@thuglifenos]

@PEPSEP I agree. The thing is, we are not judging these athletes on the contents of their heart but rather on their abilities. Based on that criteria, Mayweather whoops Pacquiao.

[@edDbalaM]

sorry man in pernell fight chavez is 34, is not the same fighter how this vs roger may..... and you remember sweet pea use a dirty tactics 10+ low blow, hugs and fucking run. you know chavez is a super fighter blow by blow and not fucking duck hunter...

[@MiguelGonzalezP]

Pernell ducked prime chavez at 140 and since the 80s.

[@EStroz585]

roger is a cool dude, very down to earth, and keeps it real all the time. thats why everybody hate him so much because he keep it real.

[@SlyBoyKash]

You Damn right he one of the greatest.

[@TheChoice264]

Roger Mayweather gave it his all. He hung his head as he quit, but that's only because he is a proud champion, and he felt he let alot of people down, primarily his family, and he felt disappointed. There's nothing wrong with that. Had Roger had a different 3rd man in the ring, he may have very well pulled off the upset. Joe Cortez and Steele come to mind. But, he had a ref, in Elesperu, who simply would NOT allow him to get away with illegal tactics or excessive holding, like most refs allow.

[@TheChoice264]

Elesperu was a great ref and also a great boxing judge. Davey Pearl was, IMO, the greatest ref in the history of the sport. These were men who DID THEIR JOB, and complied with the rules of the trade. Cortez,Steele, and Lane are 3 of the most famous refs in history, and all 3, IMO, were 2nd rate refs. Just because they had many title fights does not mean they were the best. It has next to nothing to do with it. Larry Hazard was another GREAT ref.

[@HeraldoftheMEME]

Lets not forget the beating he got from A&E's Intervention meme viral Sensation Rocky Lockridge 😁

[@gunnergomez4594]

Respect Roger he was a great champion and he came to fight always.. Not no prancing around the ring like his nephew

[@dblocknyc]

i heard Roger takes James Toney's speech classes now

[@juan0real]

roger mayweather way better than floyd and hes got a lot more heart i think he fought the best not just people he thought he could beat

[@marioperez-ph7er]

it is if you quit.

[@joeandjoot]

still no subtitles?

[@amck72]

Getting iced in one road does not mean that fighter was his toughest opponents. Roger went 2 rounds in one fight and 10 in the other, is is an accumulation of what he experienced vs Chavez.

[@aureliocassillas2213]

U r right!! U have to belive in urself if u want to b a fighter ..

[@javion1]

roger mayweather gave pernell a tough fight, and the chavez that fought roger mayweather would have beat pernell. they did a documentary on him they had said he wasnt the same by the camacho figth he was having problems with his hands, im not taking away from pernell but at the same time you cant say it was the same chavez after 88 fights. it was chavez style of figthing that wore him out.

[@ZatoOW]

@hotta1488 When Floyd fought Oscar he was 34. The same age Floyd is now. Also even worse he was 20 pounds heavier then Floyd in the ring. He was also fighting at his natural weight class and wasn't drained. When Floyd fought Mosley guess what Roach said. Floyd would get KO'd. He also said that he would only fight Mosley at a catch weight at that time because of the KO he put on Margarito. He didn't even want Manny to fight him until after Floyd beat him. Sorry but facts are facts.

[@beeemm2578]

He talking about Chavez chin. Like punching a fckn tree stump

[@examinfo]

Don`t forget about Rocky Lockridge KO of Roger

[@williamsanders4495]

🔥 🔥 🔥 Believe and trust God and Believe in yourself

[@larscomedy]

When reporters asked Canelo " How will your fight with Floyd be like? " Canelo said.." It will belike Chavez vs Mayweather " ...you history does repeat itself? We will see Sept. 14th

[@1Grandsun]

I think Julio Caesar Chavez is one of the greatest to ever lace em, but I hate how people dick-ride Chavez just to put down other fighters accomplishments. Yeah, Roger got beat by Chavez twice, but what other way to have an honorable loss than to know you've gotten beaten by one of the greatest? It's no shame in getting beat by a great, in my opinion. No shame at all.

[@MrSandman005]

Mayweather doesn't "prance" around the ring no where near the amount that Sugar Ray Leonard did, and Leonard is in the conversation of being the greatest of all time. I'm just sayin. Peace.

[@ronaldo1969]

its not easy to hear him

[@MrDelagatti]

If Floyd was a regular joe, he'll still be in jail

[@PLAYASAAGAR]

@PEPSEP Why is he not allowed into the wild card?

[@damit305]

Rocky Lockridge knocked this crackhead out one hitter-quitter style!

[@carnstar]

floyd isnt the exact style as roger.. floyd footspeed is so much faster.. not now at age 36 but prime floyd vs prime chavez is going to be a taylor vs chavez kind of fight except floyd wont engage like meldrick would. floyd by a shut out

[@skbainze]

@Phillyzbadboy420 he said chavez at the beginning of the interview . . . .

[@rocketandretti396]

R.I.Power Roger Mayweather

[@ave383]

@tatertots00 The 1st fight roger dominated before he got knocked out.

[@brotherhood302]

Yeah, and he didn't get dominated in their first fight either!! He got clipped and couldn't recover!! He got caught leaning in and before he could get out...Chavez clipped him!! It happens!! Chavez wasn't a great boxer...but, a smart and strong fighter!!

[@FelaKutiJr.]

It's too bad for Roger we have youtube, as we can see those 2 ass whoopings Chavez gave him

[@joelchavez61]

Mayweather gets mad respect as a fighter losing to Chavez. He knows he shared the ring with a bona-fide legend. How many fighters have 86 Kos. There is no dishonor in losing to a great fighter.

[@ave383]

@hotta1488 I wonder why no one but manny cries about fighting mayweather but Cotto and Mayweather can see eye to eye.I wonder why. I wonder why mayweather fought oscar in his regular walking around weight but manny fought him dehydrated.Even Freddy roach said Oscar couldn't do a lap around the track.Belive what you will.

[@adrianb893]

We need another chavezzzzzz

[@KOBESOWNER]

Henry Armstrong, greatest ever.

[@chronocross85]

His toughest opponent was crack

[@88princessk]

I like how ellie asks him who his toughfest opponent is, roger looks like he wants to knock his ass out, like don't u follow boxing, hey give him props jcchavez was a beast, he's one if not the last great to hit over one hundred pro fights, jcc would have ko dlh if he was in his prime, yes pactards there is such thing as a legit win, dlh vs jcc not legit, dlh vs pac not legit

[@Getsumsimm]

@Phillyzbadboy420 He said it at the beginning lol, but yeah. Roger did get his ass whooped, but he didn't lay down like most of Chavez' other opponents, Floyd Jr. would whoop Chavez easily imo.

[@MiguelGonzalezP]

Your wrong my friend

[@shadmanahmed1343]

hows that a bad thing, they got the best genes

[@yaiqab]

@bluegiant888 Floyd would knock Chavez out at 140lbs....or any weight he wanted to fight at. Chavez got his ass kicked by Whitaker for goodness sake.

[@fredhall6525]

The Mexican Slayer.

[@threebrothers1639]

couldn't slay Chavez

[@chucknchar]

When Roger has trouble sleeping, he thinks of Chavez and then its ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

[@chivamisfit]

they do the same today when ever floyd beats some one...

[@hotta1488]

you say they don't give floyd a fair shake? uh yea let me remind you this is america, we don't have any sympathy for woman beaters. i have more respect for roger than floyd, great trainer

[@jkl9093]

fuck no, a big mismatch chavez vs marquez or pacquiao

[@sweetdick746]

Chavez was 89-0 old and tired lost to rioded Randall then beat him how many times holds the most recos in boxing history more than SRR Ali Louis look it up best ever and i agree at least Roger fought like a man Floyd wouldn't have ever fought a prime JCC If he did lights out for the puta even easier Roger was better than Floyd ever was!!

[@Vega_Sports]

RIP champ

[@arthercamelot1140]

True champ and human 🥊👏👏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🥊🥊🙏🙏🙏

[@boxingjessie]

One of the best KO's was when Roger KOed Sammy Serrano for the title.

[@Phillyzbadboy420]

It was Julio Cesar Chavez.. But I guess he doesn't want to admit his defeat. Thank God for KZbin for all the past fights posted and showcasing evidence of Roger getting his arrogant ass handed to him. Lol

[@MASSIVE100]

If you think Floyd wouldn't stand a chance against Chavez. I can give you the name of a fighter than was smaller than Floyd and didn't hit as hard as Floyd. Pernell Whitaker. In my opinion, Pernell beat chavez 7 rounds to 5. If Chavez had a hard time hitting Parnell, how could he have hit Floyd, when Chavez's style is tailor made to be hit consistently by Floyd. Chavez is an easy target in the ring going against a fighter like Floyd that's extremely accurate.

[@MiguelGonzalezP]

Castillo beat floyd, chavez was castillo's sparring partner.

[@Elnont]

Pernell also avoided Chavez for 3 years and then refused to fight him any lower than 147lb when Chavez started off as a 125lber and was a natural 135lber. Everyone knew Chavez didn’t belong above 140lb… including Pernell.

[@Drizzydid]

@jerry328i Or maybe at the very least a Roger Mayweather Reality Series by Sechback lol...but honestly...it would be cool to see

[@upurs323]

he's an old school fighter, different personality too, he wudnt attract the kind of attention floyd does, only floyd brings that out in people lol

[@Stateballrus]

RIP Champ

[@1Grandsun]

@tatertots00 But when you look at it it's not a true loss or a loss to be ashamed of, because Julio Cesar Chavez is considered one the greatest if not the greatest boxer of all time, so me personally, I think it's an honor to say that I've got beaten by one of the best ever.

[@uameamalositagatanofoalii7226]

What's Roger up to these days. Is he not training anymore?

[@garibay711cod]

Chavez Sr Beat Roger Mayweather. De La Hoya Beat Jeff Mayweather. Castillo Beat Floyd Mayweather.

[@-The-Darkside]

Except when they fight FLoyd

[@jiujitsujedi]

100x better than Castillo , Castillo was in various Chavez camps as a sparring partner.

[@1dcsailor]

@Dredgification yet you spent the time watching a video and commenting about a junkie like you're supposed to be any better. I bet that "junkie" has accomplished more than you ever will. on another note GOOD VIDEO ELLIE!!!

[@chronocross85]

atleast he fights boxers and not women like his nephew

[@therobbieunited]

no shame at all

[@1IImrxII1]

Chavez

[@ttown623]

Floyd is gonna beat Canelo.. canelo doesn't have the experience period...

[@brotherhood302]

Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest!!

[@Trekzity]

Arguably

[@yaiqab]

@SWAG1122 He'd been through some wars????? Against who? Some of the cab drivers he was fighting lmao? GTFOH. He beat Roger, and he beat Taylor (who he was losing to on points). Whitaker completely outboxed him and got robbed. Yes, that same body hook that Ricky Hatton had right lmao? Chavez was so damn slow. He would've been made to look like a fool.

[@H4LFD3MON]

Do the Mayweathers like Mexican fighters?

[@issenvan1050]

Floyd should buy him a pair of teeth.

[@MastaSmack]

Right? A few hundred million dollars and you can't throw one of the men that made you who you are a set of teeth?

[@mtzfig6756]

Stfu

[@brotherhood302]

I'm sure your parents make up excuses as to the reason why they had you when you're not listening!!

[@lazaromartinezlll3788]

Sweet pea Whittaker beat his ass he ain’t no champ

[@threebrothers1639]

I don't know who ha s a bigger flip flop in their mouth . Floyd or Roger ?

[@gv105468]

THATS ONE THING ALL THE MAYWEATHERS HAVE, THEY ALL BELIEVE THEIR THE BEST AT WHATEVER IT MAYBE AND THATS WHY THEY ALWAYS COMPETING EVEN AMONGST EACHOTHER LOL

[@ave383]

@hotta1488 In the words of Roger Mayweather"You don't know shit about boxing". Was Oscar old when pacquaio beat him?Was mosley old and washed up when pacquiao fought him?Pacquiao doesn't do random testing for his fights so most likely he is juicing .At this moment manny wants cotto to fight him @ 147 so he can juice up and beat a dehydrated fighter again.Cotto said no.Cotto said weight is not an issue if he fight mayweather but it will be if he fights pacquiao.I wonder why?

[@edDbalaM]

No se puede ganar con más de 10 golpes bajos por la regla está fuera. incluso en el final de esta lucha, cara pernell mirar jodido y chavez limpia como siempre. chavez nunca perdió period

[@newareafilms]

Yeah Chavez knock you down 3 times in the second round at the age of 22 and with already 44 wins. Does that remind you of someone?????? Canelo? lol, He going to put your boy down and you can take that to the bank.
