I just feel that this was a BIG mistake by Oscar choosing Freddie Roach. I think Freddie Roach wil have Oscar do the wrong things in this fight and Oscar will lose. If he got Emmanuel Stewart for the job I think it would have been a lot better. In my opinion Stewart is a better trainer than Roach.
You haven't seen PBF's speed at 154, so Oscar could be faster at this weight, never know until they fight.
true, but I have seen both at 130,135,140,147
i think that manny steward is probably a better trainer all around then roach, but i feel like activity is going to be oscar's best bet, not sit on the outside, hit, and hold when he tries to come inside.
oscar's size advantage really isnt as big a deal as people are making it out to be. his real advantage is speed, and power at the end of those fast punches. his best bet is gonna be coming in ready to throw 80 punches a round and force mayweather to fight.
at 154, if you force mayweather to throw punches, not only are they gonna be weak, but his hands will crack.
really? dlh faster than pbf?
on which planet exactly?
I couldn't agree more. Stamina and strategy are the key for this fight which is why I actually think Buddy Mcgirt woulda been the best choice.
Buddy was a slickster himself and look how he helped tarver deal with roy, who, even though is washed up, is still much faster than tarver.
It won't matter who trains Oscar for PBF. As long as the trainer is getting him into fighting shape. It's all about environment and strategy. Nobody is going to "teach" Oscar anything at this stage of his career or this close to fight time. I think the sparring is going to be immensely important. Hope Roach has a good lineup of sparring partners for Oscar.
Oscar's big chance is to establish a jab and then dial in the left hook.

Steward has more success training Heavyweights. Freddie Roach is Ok for Oscar. Oscar really can't learn anything new but Freddie might have a better game plan. Ill guess well find out.
Steward is a master at training the bigger man. He teaches a fighter to use their size advantage like no other. In addition he would get Oscar to use his jab more. Watch the Mayorga fight, where he was praising Oscars jab the whole time. Thats what Oscar needs to do imo. It would have been huge for him to get Manny.
Yes and Stewart is not particularly fond of DLH, as is evident from the HBO commentary he's done
bad business it looks like.
trainer are like figure and teachers in college or highschool some teacher where some student fell comfortable with and could improve him and some you they feel comfortable with but dont improve him much and some you dont feel comfortable but you improve and some you dont feel comfortable with bt you and dont improve with him.
so anyway the whole point of all this is some trainer work better with some fighters and some fighter work better with some trainers
Well since Roach seems to get the best out of brawlers and slugger types.. anD Stewarts speciality seems to be Tall guys and maxing out their Physical advantages..
Stewart seems the Obvious choice.. Didn't Stewart already train DLH in the past anyways??

This is actually a copy and paste from another thread where I commented on this.
I like the choice of Freddy Roach. The only better choice would have been Emmanuel Steward, but the problem with that is both Klitschko and Taylor have big fights scheduled and coming up soon.
The reason why Steward would have been a great choice is because fighters often come to him a bit later in their career after they have already developed, looking to improve a bit or prepare for a big fight. Steward is experienced with those situations, and would have a good grasp on things like how much he could change with De La Hoya and stuff like that. Plus Steward has worked with De La Hoya before and they had a lot of success. I guess the problem is that he is so good that everyone goes to him so he is already really busy.
Roach has done great work with all of his guys and it seems like they all improve when he begins training them. Plus Paquiao and Toney are both kind of in limbo now and don't have anything coming up in the immediate future, so Roach has the time to prepare De La Hoya.
you know what? doing some light sparring with the pacman would immensely help dlh with dealing with the speed of mayweather. pac's faster than pbf, so if oscar could at least get accustomed to pacman's speed he would have an easier time with floyd's speedy hands.
Woa Pacs faster than Floyd? Dont think so!

but i think he want to spar for reveange you know what i mean :D
but i guess it could help alittle but Mayweather speed is a stop and wait and takes his time to see where his punchs goes espically for big opponents and Pac is tornado throwing many combos which is different.
and there style is different .
i guess he is going with roach more for interst rather than Roach because there is alot of talented fighters in the wild gym and he want couple of them :d
it probably relationship people train where they are comfortable with and he could spar with pac and kick his balls out for not signing with him
