    I think I've heard him in an interview say 19. I could be way off though.

    seems like 40. everyone seems to say they are with roach. I get impression for some he's more of a consultant and some he's more hands on.

    Its his life isn't it really, he's at the gym from 8am - 8pm every single day so plenty of time to work with all his fighters. Plus he has assistant coaches at the wildcard and the fighters wont always be there doing pads and technical work, they could be doing bag work on their own or with the other coaches, or strength and conditioning work with Ariza.

    Get the impression with Roach that his way of fighting against his Parkinsons is to work work work so he doesnt have time to think about it.

    He does there are loads actually something like 9 others to Freddie. Good idea when you think about it, means that you can have loads of top fighters around each other which can only be a good thing and there are always quite a few options for top sparring.

    You also forgot Vanes Maritosyan, Bernabe Concepcion, Gerry Penalosa and god knows how many others and Sturm hasn't decided whether he will go with Roach yet.

    I get the impression from his 24/7 showings he has zero life outside boxing

    Conservative estimates of fighters trained by Roach are somewhere in the region of 1,011,985

    There are numerous trainers at the wildcard! If you think freddy has the time to train each one of these fighters ur mad- he prob oversee's small aspects of their training leavin the bulk to the others who assist him!

    He was engaged but broke it off apparently his mum spent his entire life hammering it into that marriage was a bad idea. They covered it in either a 24/7 or a Bryan Gumble special can't remember which one.
