Practicamente, Koncz, desautoriz� al entrenador Freddie Roach por haber comentar que estos dos suenan como potenciales rivales de Pacquiao, argumentando que el estadounidense es solamente el entrenador y no manejador.

Practically, Koncz , took away any authority from trainer Freddie Roach to claim or comment on this 2 (Cotto & Mosley) as future rivals for Pacquiao, He argument that the American is only his TRAINER and not his MANAGER.

Sounds like not everything is "Cool" on the Pacman camp, For this guy (Koncz) to call out Freddie like this will defiantly would bring back lash..... The nerves of this guy?!?....Do you realize that with out Roach there is NO MANNY? Poor judgment of words and much worse job by Top rank ( Bob Arum) to let this clown speak like this......You guys are start to sound like certain guy we all Hate..... PFM!

I need Roach in the negotation table, He knows more than anyone in the Paq camp and i hope they dont undermine him when it comes to choosing Paq's opponent.

That's how is sounds like, I do think Pacman Knows better and WILL ask for his opinion but this is the type of crap a fighter don't need. Specially not someone who is on the verge of Super Stardom (ATG).

Koncz is one shady mofo for real and to be honest I dont think has Mannys best interests at heart but Manny is so nice he rarely fires anyone

For all I know this guy Koncz is an absolute tool, but he happens to be exactly right. The trainer's role is to train the fighter to fight the opponent that has been selected by the manager and promoter. Now if the promoter and manager want to consult the trainer privately, thats one thing. But the daily Roach press briefing about this opponent, that opponent, weights, money splits, etc. is ridiculous. How would Roach react if Arum started trying to pick the sparring partners, camp location, and all the things that the trainer usually decides? Something tells me Roach wouldn't like that one bit. He should let the manager and promoter do their jobs, and focus more on doing his.
