    I first remember watching Freddie on ESPN's Top Rank Boxing in the 80's. A fun fan friendly fighter but lacked power. As a trainer I know he learned his craft from Eddie Futch and is most known for training Manny Pacquiao. What are your thoughts on Freddie and other information on him?

    Obviously heś had a lot of success as a trainer, so hatś off to him. I know he definitely feels the need to tell a guy when itś time to hang em up he doesn want his guys to have the problems heś had himself.

    I think he is a great trainer and a fine human being.

    A face first brawler. Showed even Futch had his limitations as a trainer if his fighter didn't have the right tools
