FFS roach can hardly talk or hold mitts anymore. god bless him, he's a hall of fame trainer and responsible for manny pacquiao being manny pacquiao. but the guy can't talk and i can't imagine a young fighter getting a lot out of him.

freddie and mayweather sr are 2 very knowledgeable trainers. i just hope they didnt have the ego and hatred they do with each other because i would love to hear mayweather's sr real opinion on manny, etc. and the same for roach.
a lot of time, both trainers hold back or dont wanna say the truth just because they dont like the trainer of that fighter, etc. you can tell mayweather sr respect pac just by him even showing up and being there. but we will never hear how he really feels because of his hate for roach.
