it's been discussed a lot on this board, and the general consensus is that it's kind of impossible pick 1 trainer and say, "he is the best." different fighters, different trainers, different attitudes, different methods, etc.Comment

I think Nacho.
Nacho has brought up some world class fighters the best examples being Finito Lopez, the Marquez brothers, and you can see his influence on Abner Mares.Comment

The American pro fight scene has a different dynamic than that of Mexico.
Nacho is also the head trainer for Mexico's amateur program, he's able to scout fighters at a young age due to his position.
In the U.S. it's all about the $$$. And fighters and trainers alike don't have the kind of loyalty/relationship that you may see in foreign fighters. It's a game of musical chairs when it comes to American trainers and fighters. DLJoto would know something about this.
To answer the thread question. My pick is Roach! But Nacho is not too far behind. I admire and appreciate what both coaches have done, they're both world-class trainers.
The reason I pick Roach is because he has shown that he can work with many different types of fighters. It seems that Nacho has to have a certain set of talent in order to succeed in his system of fighting. If a fighter ain't a natural counter-puncher, then Nacho may not be able to do much with you, but it doesn't neccessarily mean your a bad fighter.
I mean, if you look at all of Nacho's fighters ie Finito, Juanita, Rafael, and others, they all give you the same look. Nothin' wrong with it, but what if you don't have a certain talent that's needed to thrive in that system? That's where Roach comes in, he's great with working with different types of skillsets that a fighter brings to the table.Last edited by We want Floyd; 09-21-2008, 01:09 AM.Comment
