    Is Freddie roach a Genius or Jerk for constantly requesting catch weight fights for Pac-Man.

    I look at it this way, I don't like :bartcatch weight fights but he's doing his job when it comes to his fighter. It's his duty to get or give his fighter every

    The video is a little hard to understand at first because of the background noise, but the poster helps out by putting subtitles on the screen.

    Check it out and tell me what you think.:think

    It's smart but he's publicly tainting Pacquaio's wins.

    He is a jerk. He arrogance, his assholeness, the way he fired Moore (via the press), leave me disliking the guy.

    Freddie has a lot of boxing knowledge and is not afraid to say whatever is on his mind.

    I definitely understand why people don't like the catch weights, but to say Roach is constantly asking for it is a bit of an exaggeration. After all, he's only asking it for 2 potential fights against bigger guys.

    He is protecting his fighter, but realistically he should have his guy fight at the legitimate weight. If he cannot make the weight he should not fight the bigger guys.

    He's a definitely a knowledgeeable trainer. You can't deny the improvements that Pacquaio has made under his tutelage. Sometimes he comes off as an arrogant jerk, but I personally could care less, its all kind of funny to me.

    Catch weights??

    They been a part of boxing for years and have been integral in bringing the public many great fights. Not a sole was bitching about them until December 8, 2008. Then all of a sudden they are like steroids and baseball.

    Hell what the **** is JMW JWW SWW and all the other bull**** divisions that have sprung up over the years than official catch weights with a belt.
