how good was freddie?

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

I didnt see Freddie back then but I know he was on more than one national USA team...I have a photo from around 1979 with him on a team with Starling and Alex Ramos...

Ive seen some of Freddie's post fight interviews and he's a funny guy. Just the way he talked and stuff. He sounded so geeky/goofy. They do have some of his fights on YouTube.

Keep 'em coming Iceman.

back when I first started officially boxing in 1982 here in New England, the Roach family along with the Attardo's, the Christakos brothers and the Devoll boys were well known boxing families in the area...I knew about Freddie and his brother Pepper way back then...their mother was a boxing judge...

Hmm his brother boxed too? I didn't know that. I didnt even know he had a brother till Pacquiao's last 24/7 actually.

according to everybody (including Freddie Roach himself), his brother Pepper Roach was the much better boxer of the two. Same with Micky Ward's half brother **** Eklund. But Eklund and Pepper Roach were more into having fun than into boxing.

yeah, Pepper and Freddy had another brother named Joey, too...they all fought...
