I can't think of any other cornerman who contributes so little in a fight. He just sits there holding the bucket and the water bottle. Ariza and Chavez Jr were giving all the instructions.Comment

I think he's an average fair trainer, but I actually don't care for him. I remember when he was making his "deal" with Manny Pacquiao and how hard he pushed for his 10% it wasn't kosher. He was dealing with a very soft guy, with whom he had worked to impress, and who hadn't really come to terms with the value of the dollar, and how much he was making. For a big money fighter like Pacquiao, trainers have been paid anythingfrom 3-5%.
I think that Roach took mean advantage. Of course it's made his name, and also made him a multi-millionaire many times over, but still........Comment

99% of the preparations are before the fight during training camp, so the fighters have their instructions and gameplan ready.Comment
