        If he would have kept healthy? What, by not getting repeatedly battered and abused in the ring?

            I watched a lot of Roach's fights back in the day. Even though he was a fan favorite he was pretty much a club fighter. That is no reflection on his training abilities however. Ask how the late Emanuel Steward, Eddie Futch or even Lou Duva did in their boxing careers. Trainers are often great trainers without ever being great fighters.

              Even you can't be this ******. There was nothing world class about Roach as a fighter. Roach was fun to watch, but lost to every decent fighter he ever fought and was nothing more than a face first brawler. Top 10-15 all time? GTFOH!

              I guess I should expect dumb shyte like this from the idiot that thinks GGG (with ZERO quality wins) is the best fighter of all time

Me being 30 years old, I've followed boxing since the early 90's so how can I tell you about Freddie Roach? Am I supposed to watch your video and now have the answers?
                    C'mon now....We shouldn't start threads about fighters from back in the day because maybe most people have not seen enough material, is that what you're saying? No more discussions on fighters from the '50s '60s '70s '80s...
