    Everyone is responsible for their own lives. Defeat at the Olympics is the sole responsibility of the defeated.

    Defeat at the Olympics should be blamed squarely and solely on Freddie Roach. Nuff said!

    Amateur boxing sucks. They are taught how to get their asses kicked in the pros. Look at Amir Kahn for exhibit A.

    Freddy Roach offered $1,000 to anyone that could knock Khan out in sparring while leading up to the Garcia fight.

    Freddie Roach is a curse, not a gift, to the sport. He needs to leave along with his band of merrymen.

    I wouldnt say that to be honest, they are all diffrent trainers, all good at what they do.

    A trainer is either good or bad

    As others have said, Freddie had minimal influence on the training of Olympians.

    I remember him saying some in the running for the team only had a handful of fights and was shocked at their lack of experience.

    Yep Freddie is the reason Khan failed to respect garcia's power and then impatiently threw a ****ing uppercut from a jab at range

    LOL
