    It's clear as day.

    Wasn't Freddie Roach brought in to train the Olympians? Am I wrong. He's be part of the Olympic training squad for sometime now.

    In the past you had the likes of Pernell Whitaker and Roger Mayweather training them.

    Also I place a huge amount of blame on whoever had the smart idea of enlisting Freddie Roach of all people to train these Olympians. That person needs to be fired.

    Freddie Roach is a far better trainer than Roger or Sweet Pea.

    Lol, talking out of your ass. You shouldn't do that.

    Pernell Whitaker helped train the 96 Olympic team which included Mayweather Jr, Judah and went on to do very well.

    Roger Mayweather helped train the 92 Olympic team which included Vernon Forrest, Oscar De La Hoya, Chris Byrd, etc and went on to do very well.

    Further proof that he is not doing his job properly, he is the reason Khan lost.

    Was Roach ever truly involved in the actual training??
    I watched that "On Freddie Roach" show on HBO kinda seemed like FR was just brought into the facility more for moral support & maybe a couple days of mitts than actually handling any of the REAL training.

    Just saying.

    I believe Mayweather also trained the '76 team, maybe even the one before that.

    Freddie Roach doesn't train slickness. Fighters need to know how to fight slick in the top level.. Amateur or pro!
