    I feel like he doesn't give a sht about his other fighters. If you notice his other fighters are hardly developed. Say what you want about Miguel Cotto, but he fought a Sergio Martinez that has chronic knee problems. I feel like Freddie is too self centered with Pacman. Everything revolves around him and Pacman.

    Yeah he does.

    The big difference is Manny Pacquiao is his only proven elite fighter in his stable.


    Of course he's going to praise him up. He's his best fighter.

    I think he cares about them all but maybe favours Pac cause he's his best and the one who's been with him the longest.

    I think when Pac-Provodnikov was a prospect Roach's suggestion was either to have Ruslan find another trainer, or he could back off and trainer neither of them for the fight.

    I'm not sure I think he starting to love Cotto now as well he wouldn't give Cotto away for manny but besides Manny you can see his love for Cotto

    Pac is his prized pupil. Cotto is becoming his 2nd favorite.

    Roach is training too many fighters and he doesn't have enough time for all of them. Guys like Shiming is too old to change their style; he has way too many bad amateur habits.

    Roach only cares about himself, he's thrown Pacquiao under the bus on numerous occasions the last time making his suspicioun of Alex Ariza for being shady, public.

    He had that horrible, god awful 2012 and many of the names he trained at the time left him... Why pay to get trained by Roach only to get trained by one of Roach's assistants?

    It's why Rigondeaux left him back in 2010.

    He cares about them, but he said that Pacquiao was the best thing that ever happened to him so there's naturally going to be some preference towards his best fighter.

    because he is his highest paying fighter and pac is loyal, he's not like other fighters who abandon their trainer after a loss and act like it's the trainers fault they were not able to perform and execute the gameplan properly.

    Pac's also one of the only fighters to stick with Freddie when things have got difficult for him so we haven't seen the bitterness he shows when fighters leave his stable.

    I'm not Pac or Roachs biggest fan but to be fair you can see why Pac is his favourite, he's made Roach a lot of money over the years.
