I like Freddy I think he is a good trainer that really cares for his fighters. If I remember correctly he worked with the great Eddie Futch and helped Virgil Hill all the way to a title which has to count for something.

Freddie Roach is a mercenary with a Sob story !
How many of those fighters walked into the gym and then moved out !
It's just utter bollocks to believe that a trainer can change anything a fighter does in a few fights !
Manny Pacquio would be a great fighter any how ! He was born with greatness in him he makes a lot of mistakes still and yet get's through with guts and no little skill .
The trainer is a bit part player they have way to higher profile for my liking and it's gullible twats that believe Freddie Roach or any other trainer can suddenly instill in somebody something different .
A trainer cant put whatin what God left out and after 10 years of being a pro there's no way that a fighter or any other sportsmen can be made to change technique .
Mayweather I rate his son is an incredible boxer and clearly the best schooled fighter out there he's just short on fighting heart .
That's why all the professional coaches in the nba and nfl aren't worth a damn.
I agree with the fact that many fighters were already developed. But a great coach will get more out of the fighters.
Phil Jackson won championships with the same teams that barely made the playoffs. He's probably not good at developing a player from scratch, but he's the best at getting the most out of a team.
Look at Angelo Dundee. He didn't train Ali or SRL from scratch, he's just great at getting the extra "umph" out of them.
