    It began with the Linares fight last year.
    Then Pac getting a gift against Marquez.
    Then Khan losing to Peterson
    Starts putting on crazy weight
    Hair goes gray.
    Looks like he aged 20 years overnight
    Then Pac losing to Bradley
    Now Khan gets KTFO.


    BAAAAAAAADD stretch of time for Freddie.

    He's also the head trainer of US boxing in the London games.

    emmanroid loses to whoever he fights from here on out. It could be Floyd, Juan, Timmeh, etc

    Don't forget the draw with Kayode Vs. Tarver...
    Also a bit of tarnish

    Wonder if Jr. is rethinking his coach? Gotta say though, JR. has shown steady improvement.

    Roach is just running out of weak opponents to make his fighters look good. Imagine if there were 10plus fighters like Clottey and Margarito. We'd (or you guys) would still be calling Roach the greatest trainer EVER. Now do you see what posters (especially FMJ Fans) have been saying for the past three years. Everyone thought Pacquiao made all these great improvement since moving up in weight. And that he would DESTROY JMM in 6 rounds...right? Remember that? And what did we all see....The same ****ing fighter doing the same ****.

    He's stretched too thin. No way can one trainer be commited to so many things, and give his fighters the required attention to improve them.

    What is it with Roach's fighters and leaky defence? (I haven't really watched Chavez in action, so I don't know if he's included in this area.)

    Pac gets away with it due to his chin, but Khan...oh dear.
