Even though I can disagree with his statements sometimes...Freddie Roach gets MUCH respect! He is definitely a top-world-class-trainer...Keep doing your thing!
Although I'm tired of his crap talking and some of his decisions, I have nothing but the utmost respect for this man, this is what he loves to do, and I hope he can keep on doing it for as long as he wants. I hope the doctors handle his condition the right way.
:boxing:no doubt freddy, keep your head up and keep doing what you do man. if thats what gives you power and motivation then more power to you brother:boxing:
Roach's shyt talk puts him on the same level as Cus D'Amato, Eddie Futch, Angelo Dundee in terms of public perception.
The public loves to hear shyt talk even if they may not particularly like the shyt talker.
He would be a legendary trainer regardless, but constantly talking to the media makes him transcend boxing and become a household name.
That's why most of the MMA guys know Roach, even the ones who have never watched a second of boxing.
Steward has trained ATG's Hearns and Lewis, but his name recognition is nowhere near Roach's because Steward doesn't talk shyt.
once pacquiao goes he won't get as much attention as he used to,he's gonna get bored and hang up the pads.
pacquiao made him.
No, Eddie Futch 'made' him.
Then Freddie used his knowledge to turn Pac from a crude, one-handed, limited skilled fighter into a living legend. Give the man the respect he deserves.

I mean i would actually say Freddy Roach made Pacquiao because he saw a 3rd world fighter and took him under his wing. Taught him to use both hands, gave him better footwork and angles. And then pacquiao just started dominating. But you cant knock that they have one of the best trainer-fighter relationships of all time. As in they understand eachother
Freddie's life is Boxing. It's good but bad at the same time. Freddie will be in this sport until his death. It sucks he is getting old now but he can still be a good teacher to Amir for the next 5 years at least.
I'd give him at least ten years, maybe fifteen.
