How can Roach be judged against what can't be done?

Originally posted by wizard king View Postpac still the same fighter of back then with little change and kahn is worst technically now then he was then. roach only teach one way he is not versital in styles and linaers proved that he turned him into a brawler which he isnt linaers is a counter puncher roach ruined him.any trainer that can teach the basics and give good coner advice would do wonders with kahn and pac to many to list pick one that not roach and they will improve these 3 fighters.
and Linares was always overhyped, I never understood why, he got stomped in the first round by Salgado or whatever his name was. sure, he failed against DeMarco too, but I dont think that has much to do with Roach, he just wasnt nearly as good as people made him out to be and ran out of gas.
and that 'same fighter of back then' was an excellent fighter. I hate when people make Pacquiao out to be some ****ty fighter at featherweight, when in reality he was excellent, and beat the stuffing out of a near prime Barrera. The flyweight Pacquiao and the featherweight Pacquiao are much different fighters however, and Roach picked up Pacquiao before his featherweight campaign. I think he was already training with him against Ledwaba, which was a very good upset win at the time.

Pac fights like Freddie Roach taught him..... Roach teaches an excellent offensive style of fighting that sets a lot of offensive traps especially against counter-punchers.
Khan won by at least 3 rounds last night, he was technically superior to Lamont Peterson.
Khan's fighting ability increased tremendously under Roach, he was no elite fighter until he was trained by Roach.

Linares was clearly winning the fight and all that he had to do was move around, not even throw fast hard combinations, just move around the ring for the next rounds and he was going to win the fight. However I don't think he received the correct strategy from Roach and started to trade punches with DeMarco and that's when he got KOd.
Sure, Linares was tired, but he still had enough energy to move around the ring instead of trading shots with DeMarco (who was bigger and stronger) , so I think Roach could have done a lot more to help Linares.
