DALLAS – Freddie Roach, the trainer of Manny Pacquiao, said he has worked with two fighters who tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs but takes precautions so it won’t creep into his gym in Hollywood, Calif.

Roach said one of his former fighters, Justin Fortune, was known to have used PEDs and James Toney twice tested positive for steroids, once when he was working with Roach.

“I won’t say I didn’t know,” said Roach, referring to Toney. “I never asked him, though. I never had a conversation. I could see his body structure had signs, his traps and stuff. He was either lifting a lot of weight or he was on (something).

“… I think I had one other fighter on steroids also, Justin Fortune. … I know he’d been there before.”

I know several guys that due roids, im pretty sure floyd knows about 6.

Plus sure he probably knew Toney was on roids but what was he gonna say? No? That was Toneys decision and he wasnt gonna go off of it since it probablr helped him win. Roach didnt recommend it, prepare it and then inject it....he trained a fighter that was taking roids on his own

then u need to check your eyes and rewatch the fight, b/c shane was bouncing on his toes too much, in the last few rounds to be gassed.

floyd simply whopped his ass by beating him mentally, first, then physically

What ever makes you feel better.. Shane was out of Sync from the get go and had nothing left... Luckily this fight was made 5 years later when Shane was an older gassed out fighter..

Tells me they havent fought......blame Floyd.

He said he would stop DELA in 8-9..yall laughed, he did.

Said he would stop Hatton in 3..yall laughed, he did it in 2.

Said he would stop Cotto....yall laughed, he did.....

Floyd, next...

Yes...

When you've cherrypicked damaged fighters at catchweights, you end up looking like Nostradamus.

Yea you didnt watch the fight......the commentaters were saying he was dead tired, between rounds you could see hw was taking huge breaths and looked totally gassed

Just look at Floyd and look at Shane inbetween rounds, then youll see what gaased looks like and the opposite of gassed(floyd)

He is the trainer. Did he say anything at the time? As the trainer, you are responsible for coaching , mentoring, guiding your fighter.

I disagree, I think Mosley was in fine shape, he was just getting beaten mentally and physically. He did not know what to do, but he wasn't gassed after only a few rounds.

As far as Roach goes, he is talking out of his ass. Mayweather did not use his usual movement in the ring because he chose not to. He said that he wanted to stand in front of him.

Anyone who think Floyd doesnt hav his legs is ******.

this right here!!

[check hook]

Trainer Freddie Roach is still stuck on his belief that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is not capable of staying on the move. Because Mayweather stood his ground against Shane Mosley and made it a fight, Roach thinks Mayweather's age and inactivity has caught up with him. Speaking with the Manila Bulletin, Roach predicts an easy knockout [Click Here To Read More]

all i have to say is this.....if Freddie really believe's Floyd's legs are gone this fight will happen for sure...........i list my reasons in the link below.


Trust me....this fight will happen if Freddie truly believes what he is saying.
