    Roach is one of the most overrated trainers ever, and last night proved it. Pacquiao got exposed by Floyd, Cotto was looking like a new fighter until he fought Canelo, and now Postol got dominated by Crawford. Know what they all have in common? They all are/were trained by Roach.

    If he hadn't found and trained a great talent like Pacquiao, I doubt anyone would even know who he is.

    Anderson Silva started lossing as soon as he trained with Roach too. He is not good against boxers. His fighters are great with stiffs and cripples and some like Manny have the natural ability to fight, but Roach has no idea how to defeat a boxer.

    Yep, and don't forget the terrible job he did with Pascal, trying to turn that crude brawler into a boxer.

    Maybe Roach should have taught him how to cut off the ring.

    Hunter IS overrated. Mares and Angulo looked worse under him, and he wasn't able to fix Khan's flaws. The only reason he's even known is because he trains Ward, but Ward would look good with anyone as his trainer.

    Roach can't teach defense. He never could. Crawford should've knocked Postol out. I'm only mad that he didn't go for the ko. He was much stronger than Postol and punched a lot harder.

    He would have made a great statement if he had knocked out Postol.

    Do these other trainers get the same hype as the joke Roach?

    You can only do so much with the fighters you have...... If the trainers for those fights were swapped the results would likely be the same, so what's your point?

    Sure !!! That's why Freddie was voted "Trainer of the Year " so many times :shock: You do not have a clue.
    Floyd did NOT expose Manny on May 2 2015 Tnomas Hauser exposed Mayweather as a CHEATING COWARD!!! A juiced to the gills Mayweather RAN from a severely injured Pacquaio for 12 rounds. Even Floyd sr called him a coward. Floyd knew Moretti & co would screw Pacquaio just like the NSAC did on fight night.
    Even the greatest of trainers cannot make a champion out of a clubfighter & Freddie IS one of the greatest:happy:happy
