    Many reports say that Freddie Roach has trained 25 world champs. But how many has steered to a title, and how many of them has he taken on when they were already champs?

    Here's my list. I'm wondering if anyone can help me complete it. I'll keep updating the list as additions come. I'd like to do the same thing with Ray Arcel and Eddie Futch later!

    LED TO TITLE (15):
    Virgil Hill
    Marlon Starling (or did he take him on after Futch?)
    Steve Collins
    Frankie Liles
    Willie Jorrin
    Johnny Tapia
    James Toney
    Manny Pacquiao
    Brian Viloria
    Dmitri Kirilov
    Roman Karmazin
    Israel Vazquez
    Gerry Penalosa
    Bernard Dunne
    Amir Khan

    TOOK ON LATER, NO TITLES WON WITH HIM IN CORNER (6):
    Michael Moorer
    Wayne McCullogh
    Mike Tyson
    Oscar De La Hoya
    Bernard Hopkins
    Wladimir Klitschko (asst.)

    Pacquiao already had a title when he went to Roach

    Yes, but he guided him to six more after that one, so I would count that as having guided a fighter to a title.

    Dunne trained at wildcard early in his career, but left and went back to Ireland long before he won his title.
