By Chris Williams: Roger Mayweather, the uncle and trainer for unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr., was his blunt self in dissecting Manny Pacquiao’s ability and chances in a fight with Floyd Jr. Roger doesn’t see any real skills there with Pacquiao, seeing him as a fighter with crude amateurish skills.

Here is what Roger had to say about Pacquiao in an interview at eastsideboxing.com’s On the Ropes Boxing Radio program: “Pacquiao really don’t got no boxing skills, period. What I see Pacquiao do is pretty much like a wild amateur fighter. Basically he ain’t got no real boxing skills. I mean not form what I know about boxing…As far as I see he’s wild. He’s just wild. That’s all he is…Floyd got too much skills for him, period. And he’s [Pacquiao] too small.”

There it is, folks. Roger telling it like it is. I have to agree with Roger. Pacquiao is very wild, and his style of fighting is much more primitive than Floyd’s that’s for sure. Pacquiao has been able to get by for the most part with his hand speed and enormous work rate. Of course, it doesn’t hurt when you fight guys coming off of recent losses or severe beatings and get them at a catchweight handicap. That obviously helps a lot too. But in terms of boxing skills, there’s really no comparison between Pacquiao and Mayweather. Pacquiao is much cruder and wide open with his fighting style. Pacquiao may choose to fight that way to be a more exciting fighter. Only he knows for sure why he fights like that. But all you have to do is look at Floyd fight and then take a look at Pacquiao to tell who has the better boxing skills. I don’t even see it as a close competition. Floyd is just way more skilled.

Roger adds “He [Pacquiao] don’t fight nothing but with people at catch weights. “
