    Discuss? I don't think Wlad has declined that much physically, but I think his bad ring habits were being enabled without challenge for a long time. What do you think? Type or write your comments below this post please

    They worked together in the past already, albeit briefly.

    Freddie is one of the greatest trainers active today but even Freddie cannot work miracles

    I think Freddie roach needs to hang it up as well. Also, I agree with Benitom3 that Wlad doesn't fight like a Roach fighter. They wouldn't work well together. I also get the impression that no coach will really work well with Wlad at this point in his career. I think Wlad feels like he knows what he's doing and he's so close to the end that he'll refuse to change.

    Guys, just imagine it though, just imagine Wlad & Freddie training - close your eyes & imagine it - what do you imagine? Looking forward to reading ALL comments.

    Roach would be a very good shout, Wlad needs a stronger personality and an older head in his corner. Banks might well turn out to be a great trainer but I don't think he's the man for the rematch, at least not on his own. The input of a guy like Roach would only be beneficial.

    John David Jackson is the man for the job, Wlad needs an overhaul in a short time and JDJ is capable of pulling that off.

    I don't think it would work. Wlads low output, grab and jab style is so ingrained in him that no one is changing it now. Also, Roach had 2 absolute **** plans in huge fights recently. Pac couldn't get off on Floyd, and he had Cotto hopping around pointlessly.

    I miss that lunatic he's totally unique. He even speaks his own language that is intelligible to no one other than him lol. It would be hilarious seeing him and Fury going at it during the pre-fight pressers too.

    Freddy doesn't teach infighting.
