Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez, Khan-Maidana, Roach Get BWAA Honors

[dorruel2.0]

Roach has achieved tremendous achievements for the trainer. Many years after people would look back and point at Roach and say "look what he has done as a trainer". Also having a Parkinson gives huge inspiration.

freddys overrated imo

For Sergio Martinez, 2010 was a year to remember. He started by winning the world middleweight title from Kelly Pavlik, then successfully defended it with a sensational one-punch knockout of Paul Williams. As a result of Martinez's success, the Boxing Writers Association of America have voted him recipient of the "Sugar Ray Robinson Fighter of the Year" award. Martinez becomes the second boxer from Argentina to receive this prestigious honor, the first being Carlos Monzon in 1972.

Marquez vs katsidis, Soto vs antillion, Froch vs Kessler, Escalante vs Roman these fights were action packed and competitive

Why would 27 world champions go and train under Roach if he is overrated?

I liked the Khan Maidana fight .Nice boxing from Khan from the start then Maidana coming forward towards the end I just watched the highlights .Khan had to grit and show heart man .

he works with fighters who already developed their skills. He never brought a champ up fromthe ground up. Nacho built several boxers from the ground up, and has had many champs, which is why i think hes better. Roach is way overrated. I can do that too b!tch

That Pac was even runner up is sort of apalling.

It's a joke........

Pac was the runner up?

I disagree with Roach and Khan-Maidana winning their awards.

[Fearless Angel]

Man, Freddie Roach is not the only trainer in the world.

They need to realize that there's a lot more trainers in the world that deserve this award also.

Bunch of morons .

Pac shouldnt' even be mentioned. Neither should Roach.

Khan/Maidana was a good fight, but I don't think it was fight of the year. I think there is a little pro Khan propaganda is taking place here.

Its a political award.

I agree, I don't think Pac should have been mentioned. Segura, Montiel, and Juanma all had a better year than Pac did this year.

Roach should be mentioned though. He should be in the discussion. People just focus on his work with Pac and to lesser extent with Khan. But, JCC jr looked that the best has with Roach against Duddy. Jose Benavidez Jr looked damn good with Roach and in his fight last night seemed to kind of having stamina issues and went the distance for the first time without Roach. So Roach should be in the discussion. He's a damn good trainer no matter what any hater says.

However, I think Roberto Garcia really made a nice statement this year. He broke into the scene and I think he probably should have won it instead of Roach.

I think Martinez trainer Gabriel Sarmiento also had a better year than what Roach did.

Emanuel Steward should also be in the discussion not cuz' of his Wlad work but because Cotto also looked better than he has in recent times under Steward.

And, IMO JMM-Katsidis and Soto-Antillon were greater fights than Khan-Maidana.
