I disagree Bilbo although good topic. Firstly,all trainers surely go through periods when their fighters are not winning,I'm sure a thread like this could have been done about Mcgirt not so long ago. Secondly,whilst I agree that the way he dropped everyone for Oscar wasn't what all trainers would have done but Freddy was not stupid,Oscar is a better fighter to train than Manfredo in that it brings Roach exposure,and would have gotten him ALOT of respect had Oscar won.Obvioulsy the $$$ helped too. He did as well with Oscar as anyone could have done imo.

He won his last fight with Bernard not to mention the numerous Filipino fighters he has/may have success with. Manny Pacquiao was a dangerous albeit limited fighter and now,under the tutillage of Roach,is a P4P monster. I think Roach deserves credit.
