    Pacquaio twice? Amir Khan? JCC Jr? The former multi-time trainer of the year has had a very difficult year. Is this a sign of slipping? Have his health issues had an effect? Has anyone had a bigger drop?

    I can't see how the Pac losses are his fault. Pac got robbed in the Bradley fight and he got caught with a counter against jmm. It would be near impossible to avoid every single counter punch from jmm. I'm told he was ahead by the time of the stoppage which shows that Roach's game plan was working.

    Khan's chin let him down.

    Jcc was stoned lol

    Add Jorge Linares to that crop of over hyped...whatevers.

    Roach knows jack squat about defense and smart fighting.

    Freddie and his McGym need to seriously consider scaling back the amount of clients they have.

    **** happens.

    He's still a great trainer. His gameplan looked really good until Pac got caught.

    Pac: got robbed against Bradley, was ahead of the scorecards so the plan was going good
    Chavez: did anyone really think he could beat Martinez? theres only so much a trainer can do
    Jorge Linares and Amir Khan: you could blame half on Roach and half on them
