In about 1 year?
It was 2010 that Roach won the trainer of the year award by BWAA. In 2011 HBO filmed a mini-series about him, covering his daily activities and routines as both a trainer and, indirectly, as a person with Parkinson's Disease. Since that time most of his fighters have lost, including all his stars. Both Khan and Chavez Jr left him after their defeats. Pacquiao as far as we know is still with Roach after losing to Marquez last month.
So why is it that Roach's effectiveness as trainer seemingly declined so badly, does his illness contribute to this decline, is it because he got sidetracked by his fame, or should Roach take no blame - only the fighters themselves who have lost under his guidance?
Next up I'll post some info I've read about Parkinson's disease which might shine some light on things, and it could explain how the illness might be to blame. Read on...
