Perhaps the biggest star to come out HBO's critically-acclaimed 24/7 series has been Freddie Roach. As a result of his numerous appearances on the show, Roach, the owner of the Wild Card Boxing Club in Los Angeles, has become arguably the most famous boxing trainer in the world. FanHouse recently spoke to Roach about his next challenge: getting his prized pupil, Manny Pacquaio, ready for his Nov. 14 fight against Miguel Cotto. He also talked about why he thinks Shaquille O'Neal could beat either Klitschko brother if the NBA star trained with him for a year. Check out the full video interview below.

No it's just a stunt that if Shaq were to get into boxing it would bring up the ratings, Which means more money for all. Shaq would not last too long in the ring in my opinion. Remember their is no free throws at the foul line for him to rest in boxing. LOL

What's up with Freddie Roach lately?
He's saying that everyone that he's training is boxing's next answer-- Andre Arlovski, Shaq, etc.
Come on.

Either Wlad or Vitali would knock Shaq into next year. Freddie should look up the word "hubris" in the dictionary. He's got Manny the roid-man so he think's he supertrainer now. Shut up, Freddie.
