    Why is Freddie Roach so highly regarded?

    Now i know he is training the best fighter in the world. But i have to say most of that is all Pacquiao skills.

    Roach seems like an expensive guy who only trains guys worth his time.

    But think about.

    Other than pacquaio what has he done in other fighter's careers? Maybe i am wrong so please correct me.

    With
    Mike Tyson- he lost to Danny Williams.
    Diosdado Gabi- Lost his big name fights
    Bobby Pacquiao-.......
    Roman Karmazin- Just got ktfo by Alex Bunema and lost to Cory Spinks before that
    Oscar De La Hoya- Lost to Mayweather
    Dimitry Kirilov- Just got stopped by Darchinyan
    Israel Vasquez- Lost to Marquez the first time under Roach
    Rey Bautista- KTFO by Ponce de leon
    Bernard Hopkins- Lost to Calzaghe under Roach

    You all see what i mean?

        Yeah it was just Pac, but it doesn't also mean that he should be blamed for those losses.

          Nah Roach is a good trainer plus he's been in there as a pro which helps him guide fighters not just on the physical side but also how to get through all the politricks as Lewis put it.

                  you can say the same thing about almost every trainer . . . calzaghe, emmanuel stewart and buddy mcgirt's records of late have not been very good . . . does that make them bad trainers. IMO no i dont thik so . . .
