McGirT :P :P :P no waY, oscar should as well just be by himself in the corner come fight night.

McGirt is a good trainer, I am sure he has a good strategy about how to beat Floyd.

yeah...there are alot of good trainers out there...Can't go wrong with Roach.....Fight keeps looking better all the time!!!

Theres a touch of 'Rocky Balboa' about this fight, i'm beginning to feel

good choice in freddy roach. i would like to see a bit more urgency in oscar's work than usual with a pace he could handle for 12 rounds. if freddy roach is involved i don't think this fight is gonna be the chess match that i first though it would.

I DOUBT it, McGirt will look clueless just like usual specially against a hybrid pbf.

how

roach will help oscar for sure, roach is the type of coach that is loyal to his fighters and would do anything to make sure his fighter wins. this is a even gREater fight NOW that pbf isn't only against legendary oscar pbf is now also against freddy "coach kugeR"or "the ripper" roach, best choice for oscar, i'm sure roach is watching every film of pbf right now and studying it all.

can't wait to see roach in oscars corner against pbf,floyd is pretty much without a trainer still, and oscar just added the best possible against pbf. i don't think pbf talent is gonna save him agianst oscar, pbf is gonna have to show heart i won't be suprise he get bullied and fall behind the score card against bigger badder "golden boy" with the "golden trainier"

I like Freddie Roach.
If Freddie Roach can bring out the dark side in Oscar De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather Jr. will be in a heep of trouble.
I hate fighters who are too gentleman like in the ring.
Like Manny Pacquiao for example, how many times have we heard Freddie Roach tell Manny to stop being so nice to his opponents in the ring. I wish Freddie could bring out the dark side in Manny Pacquiao too. Can you imagine a mean, angry, nasty, ruthless Manny Pacquiao? I can.

He brought the dark side out of Peter Manfredo Jr. and I hope that helps him against Joe Calzaghe, but Joe has a dark side too, so Peter is going to have to be very careful. LOL

I like the Teddy Atlas option too. I hate his commentating sometimes because he can sit there and talk about things and distract or take away from the action in the ring. Sometimes he does not know when to shut the phuk up and call the fight. Just for this reason, I would have loved to see him go on vacation. LOL But overall, Freddie Roach is the best choice of the two.

Bring out the dark side in Oscar De La Hoya, Freddie and Floyd is toast.

You make Roach sound like the Empire in the movie Star Wars!!

Bring Oscar to the dark side?

I remember in the hype for the Mayweather Gatti fight they said Floyd could have gone the Sugar Ray Leonard route...but he choose to fall to the dark side.....

wtf!?!?

roach is a good choice, still i cant see oscar being able to knnock out flloyd and i find it hard to see him outpointing him, as much as i would love either of them to happen
