    Manny blown away and now Khan destroyed, is Freddie nothing more than a myth?

    Roach is in the hall of fame for a reason. What's your point?

    Yeah, a myth that's been around for 30 years.

    Stupid thread.

    Khan fires Ariza and Manny's camp has him locked away and influential...maybe something else is responsible for the rash of losses lol

    Another Wild Card fighter lost on the Mundine vs. McKart undercard. (heavyweight Andrae Carthron, dropped a UD to some fat-ass Russian and was on ***** St. in almost every round)

    Of course not every loss is the trainer's fault, but there is certainly a common pattern.

    Roach guys are pure offense, and not calm disciplined offense. Not all that well rounded. (see Lateef Kayode, et cetera et cetera)

    To what extent do you think a trainer can give a fighter a chin, ***git? Explain.
