    Roach, even humbly admitted during the interview that most of the credit goes to the fighters themselves, as opposed to himself.

    I don't think Roach is desperate for money. I think he has made enough money all these years to support himself until he dies. Freddie isn't exactly a lavish spender, ala PBF.

    On another note, I didn't know Freddie had trained with Wladimir Klitschko before which he had also mentioned in the interview. I wonder when that was.

      Do you think Roach & Cotto will make a good team?
      They would make a perfect team, but it won`t happen. Because it`s Pac vs Cotto after May 2nd.

              Roach is a perfect fit for Cotto. Too bad we'll never get to see it.

                    Someone needs to let Cotto know now that Roach is interested.
