    Who cares about Freddie The Joke Coach Roach. The most overrated coach of all time, Fury gets knocked out.

    Didn't Pacquaio already get rid of him for Buboy?

    This is a big deal. Since Emmanuel steward died, Freddie roach is the last great American trainer. He was a former pro himself who was trained by the great Eddie Futch.

    Roach also has a track record of "reviving" seemingly shot or badly faded fighters like Toney, Cotto, Tyson(who while he lost due to a knee injury looked much better vs Williams than he had in years) and others.

    Roach's first champ was also Virgil hill, someone similar to Tyson fury in style and build(for his division)



    The fact that Bernard Hopkins, one of the smartest hustlers in the game immediately went to Roach when Naazim Richardson had a stroke in 07 and couldn't work the corner also shows that Roach isn't just a "hyped up coach"

    Wasn't Floyd going to fellate some Japanese businessmen for some money at the end of the year? What happened, cheque bounce?

    This is about Freddie The Joke Coach Roach, not Floyd Joy Sinclair.

    If he was a joke Bernard Hopkins wouldn't have gone straight to him when his guy Naazim had a stroke in 07.

    Bernard is one of the smartest fighters ever, if he went with roach then it's obviously more than just hype

    That’d be the first time a fighter gets a TKO win via wax in opponents eyes preventing him from continuing lol
    Just what Wilder needs after his last fight with a guy on heart pills.


    On a serious note, doubt that it’s Roaches hands that Fury is interested in.

    He was not seen as a Joke back in those times because he wasn't a household name. It was only after he became a household name that he became Freddie The Joke Coach Roach because we saw how overrated he was. He gives no useful corner advice, NONE.

    Ok?

    Simple.

    Why did Pacquiao ditch him and as soon as he did, he got his first ko in 9 years. LOL

    Roach will give better advice than Davidson if the fight is in the balance. Pretty smart move by Fury IMO.

    Pac got his first KO in 9 years because he got back on steroids and fought a shot fighter who had no desire
