Overrated? Certainly not, fighters are not born knowing technique. Someone at some point had to teach them, so trainers are a huge component especially a fighters original trainer. I also think sparring partners deserve just as much credit, even someone like Mayweather had to get schooled in the gym by more experienced fighters in order to learn.

Now they seem to get far to much money and credit, jake la motta and larry holmes gave there trainers no credit and said they learned there trade in sparring as did many other great fighters, now every time a fighter gets beat he thinks by moveing trainers he will be a new fighter when its more menatlly than anythink, he is still the same fighter only in a different gym. What ever happend to haveing the one trainer and sticking with him?

you have to take it on a case by case basis. some guys just pick up boxing easily, other need to be taught boxing.
