    why do freddie roach get all this credit?? his fighters have no defense or skill!

    Ok I'm trolling a bit here, but let's be honest Roach favors his hard hitters who aren't too quick on their feet from a defensive standpoint. He takes strong punchers and crafts them into even stronger fighters, but he doesn't do much about their defense, IMO.

          His run With Manny Pacquiao at the lower weights and higher weights was impressive, Champion in 8 different weight divisions, record will never be broken, or for a while.

          Actually his run with Amir Khan was impressive, specially the way he was picking apart Judah, and made him quit.

            Freddie Roach is a good trainer but the credit he gets is a lot of hyperbole.

              tapia has no defense, no skill, provokodov got absolutely zero defense head movement or boxing skill,,, pac was taltened but he cant miss a right hand,, khan attacked with no defense and chin in the air as an invitation to be KO, like a poster said it like he trains these dudes how to attack without expecting to be punched back

              he always talk bad stuff about fighters but i think he jealous because he was a overrated punch bag with no defense or head movement.

                Yeah Judah has never lost before. What about Khan's losses? If you credit him for the wins you have to blame him for the losses.

                  Freddie was badly exposed by the mayweathers. He had no plan and no hope, the joke coach roach.

                    Everyone knows roach doesn't teach defense, can't build a fighter from the ground up, and is in general an overated trainer. But he is definitely an overachiever
