    How does a fight progress when 2 boxers have to fight, and have the same trainer? i bring this up because i was reading a thread about Amir Khan and someone mentioned that if given a few more years of training, he may be ready to face Pac or Floyd (if they're still around). lets say boxing fans clamor for a Khan-Pac fight a few years from now, just as they clamor for a floyd-pac fight now. what would Roach do?

    No. They will not have a fight on the same night. Easy answer. Think! Cotto and Wald would never fight on the same night as manny couldn't do both fights.

    i meant if fighters who share the same trainer fight each other, or are pressured by the public or whatever to fight each other. has this happened before? and if one fighter switched trainers, does it hurt or help him?

    Good question. In that case, I don't have an answer. Not sure if that has ever happened before. Worth looking into.

    I believe Fritz Sdunek actually trains Vitali and Boytsov.

    I've always wondered about this myself. If there ever comes a point when the public is calling for Khan/Pac, who would Freddy train?

    Maybe Roach will just have to run back and forth to each corner in between round.

    Roach trains Khan, Buboy trains Manny.

    Ali once fought against a guy I think it was Jimmy Ellis and Angelo Dundee trained both . But Dundee was in Jimmy's corner because they had been together since Jimmy was a kid.

    Only Fight I know where the actual trainer is training both fighters.

    This is why Ken Norton and Joe Frazier never fought.

    Actually, in Margarito's latest fight, his trainer, Robert Garcia, had two fighters on the same card.

    Rios was the first fight, then Cheato was the headliner.

    Buboy has come a long way from the "sleeping on the floor-lucky to be here" guy, to "Assistant Trainer". I was watching him in the corner at the last fight, whispering in Pac's ear, then Roach looks at Buboy, and he shuts up. :lol:

    Got me thinking...I wonder if Buboy will open a gym when Pac retires and tell everyone "I learned everything I know from Freddy while we trained Pac together."
