Do Freddie Roach fighters have shoddy defense?

Manny's best defense is his great offense. JMM exposed him in that department.

pac's defense is defintely better than khans and chavez's , thats a no contest right there.. to me, pac's defense is just slightly less better than floyd's offense.. i'm not sure about that, 2 fights where pacquiao supposedly dominated (cotto and clottey)his face looked pretty bad he was caught by alot of straight rights by clottey and manny was also getting hit alot by cotto before manny hurt him

As a fighter Freddie did block a lot of punches with his face.

You dont need defense with who Pac has fought...or with Jrs size and possibly "peds". Linares and Kahn get the crap end of the stick fighting young fighters..especially Kahn. Ill give him that, he fights the better comp imo.

Maybe but it's a bigger problem for Khan then for the other Roach fighters cause Khan can't take a punch. I don't know how Freddie trains his fighters defensively. I would be nice if someone could find a clip... Freddie says he learned from Eddie Futch, he was also mainly offensive but he also trained Kenny Norton who had an ok defense.

There does seem to be a pattern there, that's all I'm saying.

After the first round it seemed like Freddie took forever to get his instructions out.

Of course, he calls himself offensive coach and that's who he is, he was ofennsive fighter also, he doesn't seem to have good idea of how to teach fighters defensive moves. Yeah, this could be a case of him not being able to teach what he doesn't know.

Pac has good defense, he knows how to use it really well. JCC on the other hand doesnt give a fcuk about defense. Either way both of those guys can afford getting hit whereas Khan cant

No a great year for Freddy...

he teaches defense with the legs... roach fighters all do one thing, get off first, use legs as defense, then flury, run, flury run, Also, the patented weak high guard. I still don't understand why Roach doesn't tell them to use that in case of emergency only because that **** is terrible. Even when they're winning their fights they temporarily look like they're losing because of how weak they look using it (and Pacquiao, especially, is no physically weak fighter). Khan gets knocked the round the ring so even if he blocks the punches it doesn't achieve its full purpose because it still impresses the judges. A Roach fighter's defense is basically his offense.

yes. ive always said put khan with mayweather sr and khan would be a beast
