don't be surprised when in the middle of the fight an episode of Parkinson's manifests itself and he starts referring to pac as Ricardo and starts explaining how to put a car into drive from park; the ***** being that you have to put the foot on the brake to do it.

roach the driving instructor.

LOooooooooooool

[nouseforaname]

i ****ing hate Freddie Roach, he's the most obnoxious and overrated trainer out there (yes that includes Floyd) He gets too much credit for Pacquiao, he's like the Phil Jackson of boxing, i hope someone would shut his ****** ***ing mouth for once.

DOES Roach NOT shut up?


While Manny Pacquiao has yet to hit the gym, his trainer Freddie has already started devising the training regimen and fight plan for the Filipino pound-for-pound king’s showdown with the tough Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico.

In an interview on Doghouse Boxing, the award-winning trainer said he sees no problem with Cotto’s power and counterpunching as they’d come to the Nov. 14 showdown armed with an airtight strategy meant to neutralize such assets of the Puerto Rican bomber.

“I have already watched several hours of Cotto’s fights. I have been concentrating on how well he did against Shane Mosley. How he neutralized Shane’s speed," Roach said, referring to the November 2007 fight that saw Cotto beating Mosley via unanimous decision.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course, Cotto’s power is a major concern for me but I really think that we will have no problems. I’m training Manny not to get hit.
– Freddie Roach, trainer--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Yes, we will have a great game plan for Cotto," Roach assured.

As to the noted power of Cotto (27 KOs in his 34 wins), Roach expressed confidence the Pacman’s “really good chin" would more than hold up to it.

“Manny is not going to back out for anybody. Manny has a really good chin because he has a big heart. Of course, Cotto’s power is a major concern for me but I really think that we will have no problems. I’m training Manny not to get hit," he said.

After his two-round annihilation of erstwhile light-welterweight boss Ricky Hatton last May, Pacquiao has been savoring his victory and honoring his non-boxing commitments, especially his movie and TV projects.

But knowing his chance to win an unprecedented world title in a seventh division, Pacquiao has vowed to go all out once training camp begins by September.

Roach said the 30-year-old Pacquiao would have the first stages of training camp in high-altitude Baguio City before winding up at the WildCard Gym in LA.

“Because of (US) immigration laws, he must spend five weeks training outside America. The laws say we can spend 183 days (yearly) in America and that means the last three weeks of training will be here at the WildCard. Right now the plans are to train in Baguio City in the Philippines at the Olympic Training Center," he said. - GMANews.TV

NOT GET HIT???? Has Roach lost his mind? Is he ok?

Freedy can't honestly believe that Manny will go 12 rounds without getting hit. He could only do that by literally running and you sure as hell can't win like that.

Making fun of Roach's disease is low.

i didn't give it to him, man.

[rao007]

And people say Pacquiao's fans are bad.

And people say Pacquiao's fans are bad.

how about this - if i could cure him, i would.

i'm that type of guy; but just because he has Parkinson's doesn't autonomously put him beyond being made fun of because of it.

**** that!
