Took chavez jr to a middlewieght paper title
Over the years morphed manny from a jab,jab, straight left fighter into a well rounded polished fighter and really developed his right hand which was sorely lacking during his 122,126 days
Revitalized a seemingly washed up cotto... Did anyone think cotto had anything left after the lackluster performance vs trout... Roach has cotto fighting like its 2007 again..
Those are the things that stand out about roach to me... I think he is a great trainer..
I think one of the reasons he hasn't guided many young guys is because he is a hired gun in boxing and is always being recruited to work with high profile fighters like tyson, Oscar, toney, etc... Just more money involed when your dealing with big name fighters
At this point money shouldn't be an issue
I think the only one from scratch sr had is Jr
Roger had laila Ali
Hunter/ward
Dundee/ Ali, Luis Rodriguez
Steward -mcllellan, hearns n others
All including roach are great trainers never thought a ? Could invoke so much emotions from fans

pre roach pac bombed away with both hands hook, overhand, uppercut not just straights.
roach made him a simple jab-cross fighter to make him less wild, less open.

I think most high profile trainers only have a handful of fighters that they focus on through their careers. The only exception to this as of late is Nacho. Dude can't have a normal life without boxing which is great but at the same time kind of sad knowing that his days are coming to an end.

Now, back to the TS, how many great trainers can you name who took fighters from scratch? Most "great" trainers have been hired guns.
