    He's not saying they don't take risks as in ducking fights. Just their styles. It's true when it comes to Wladimir, and sometimes Vitali. But I disagree that it's a bad thing. Do what you have to do to win. It can be boring sometimes I agree.

    I've lost respect for Roach with bull**** comments like that. First of all he speaks of the brothers as if they are exactly the same. They aren't. Vitali brawls more & Wlad boxes more.

    So... to get Roach's respect, I guess the Klitschko's should
    - fight at a catchweight, lol
    - move up in weight, double lol
    - not fight a young unbeaten top contender, but fight a shot fighter like his kid did, hype it with 24/7, say many many many many many times George Foreman / Mike Tyson / Evander Holyfield can't pull the trigger (which is true), beat up the shot fighter, and all of the sudden it'll make sense... :lol: :patsch

    but this is something the klitschko fanatics cant quite grasp as their love for the klitschkos is borderline obsessive. freddie roach didn't accuse them of being cowards, he's simply stating that their safety first style of fighting is not exactly viewer friendly. im far from being a klitschko fan but i have the utmost respect for both of them, they win and they both dominate. but leave it to the klitschko fanatics such as rico, grouch, keure, and any other future klit fanatic that has yet to post to completely mis-interpret what roach said.

    talk about risks Pac won't fight anyone at 147 but a shot DLH.

    There is nothing more pathetic than 'catchweight' fights. Pick a weight class and fight in it.

    To an extent has has a point.
    The main example being the Ibragimov fight as MSG.
    Ibragimov could not hurt him the entire fight mainly due to the size difference and his pawing jab.
    He should have taken him out well inside 5 rounds, as a result he would have become much more popualr in the states. But instead he just jabbed his way to a boring 12 round decision.
    I agree what he does he does well but sometimes he should go for the kill and bring some excitement! Lewis could be defensively minded but he knew when he had an opponent on the rack and finnished them!

    I like Roach as a trainer, he has given us Pac and that is a good thing. He is also very reliable at picking fights when he has no emotional involvement.

    But the **** that comes out his mouth.

    Wlad dumped your ass Roachie, and went on to be the ring champion at Heavy. Quit being a ***** about it. You got the P4P #1, be happy with that. No need to have all these sour grapes just because Wlad didn't need you (and did better without you).

    i think anyone who truly feels haye faked injury i can tell you he didnt and when the renigotiating was taking place there were strong rumours that setanta was going dow hence no network or price to offer. haye also said he didnt like the deals to fight the kilitskos finacialy hence take another fight in the heavyweight division, if he wins not only has he got more to bring to the negociating table but he will have more exeriance in the division.
