.. A fighter who makes the coach look a lot better than he really is?
I think a lot of people have come around to understand that Roach has been severely overrated as a trainer, it's Pacquiao's natural abilities which any half-decent coach could have nurtured just as effectively as Roach did. Remember that Roach himself said when he first saw Pacquiao at Wild Card he knew he had a world champion on his hands from watching how good he was in sparring.
Does the same apply to Ward and Hunter? Is Ward a naturally-gifted fighter who just needed any half-decent coach to get the same results, or is Hunter one of the most influential factors that dictates how good Ward is as a fighter?
