      A trainers role is overrated.

      It's not much he can do except prepare them well. It's up to the athletes to execute, and they haven't.

            Im not sure about roach giving khan the best training?

            I think we will see whether roach was giving khan the ideal training after the next few fights, it has been posted that Virgil is teaching khan the basics something which he thought khan was lacking.

              I think the pacman destruction tonight will hurt Roach's health for some reason. Lets hope not.

                How ******. Pacquiao's strategy for this fight was better than in his other fights against Marquez. The movement was confusing Marquez and Pacquiao was actually outboxing Marquez at times, something we haven't seen before. Roach can't stop Manny's tendency to jump in with aggressive lefts at this stage. Manny has always thrown awkward shots and been wide open when on the attack so getting KTFO has always been a risk but that style has also helped him become great throughout his career. I really can't see how the knockout is Roach's fault.

                  Completely overrated!

                  Vanes, Pacquaio, Khan, Linares, Kayode, etc etc

                  Quillin didn't exactly shine either.

                  The guy is overrated as hell.

                    TBH, Manny was winning this fight so the preparation/ game plan was done correctly.

                    But from his winning - losing ratio, he is getting a D-/F at this point in big fights.
