    Do you think Freddie Roach overrated??

    I think so.. He is lucky to find Pacquaio.. Who has he trained? And don't say Mike Tyson, DLH, James Toney because training under Roch did not make them any better.. what are your thoughts?

    Either way, he is very lucky with the people he gets his hands on.
    Amir Khan has all the potential to be a P4P soon (if his chin holds up), and in the longer run Jose Benavidez Jr looks like he has all that and even more...

        He might be making Khan much better or it could be the feather-fisted and midgets that Roach lines up fights for Khan to fight that makes Khan look so great.

            I have noticed he trains LOTS of mma fighters and in the mma community roach has become a regular name.


            Not sure what makes him better or more qualified boxing coach in the mma world but I guess people like his personality and it meshes well with people and he doesnt seem like a ego or intrusive guy and so maybe his professonalism is the reason he is so very popular???

              With the number of fighters he's handling right now, I think freddie is overworked.

                pac was still a 1 dimensional boxer when roach came in. he harnessed that kids talent and made him what he is today. now, would you call that an overrated or a good trainer?

                  He's not complaining, he likes money.
