School me on why Roach is a great trainer

[PEBBLES!]

Most trainers are overrated!!! They don't even develop a fighter from scratch nowadays, At the moment am still looking for a trainer who was there from the begining, But someone like Roach has made a lot of Improvement and adjustment with fighters like Pac and Khan since they joined him so credit to him.

Kevin Cunningham with Devon?

No one has even mentioned how the old, celebrity-esque Roach has gotten in the head of Pac's opponents. He got into Cotto's head, he got into Joe Santiago's head, and he even got into Margarito's head.

I never thought I would read about Margarito going all "**** that Roach I'm going to punish Manny so that ****er Roach learns" mode, but Roach managed to do it.

yeah, roach is good at doing that psychological warfare on people.

Roach is clearly the best trainer in boxing today. That goes without question. A trainer has four main responsibilities: He must get his fighters into shape, he must improve their technique, he must be able to motivate them and he must be able to create a game plan and adjust as necessary. Roach by far exceeds all of those expectations. Roach’s evolution as the greatest trainer of his time. He not only developed great fighters, but he also produced great trainers.

try to refrain from mentioning awards and accolades.

because hes the grand master of the KKK

Manny made Roach not the other way around

La cucaracha is good at talking a lot of shit when it comes to a Pacquiao fight. He knows that if he talks shit about any of his other fighter's opponents he's going to look fucking ****** when he loses.

He's an okay trainer. There are better underrated trainers out there. He just hit a gold mine with pacquiao.

I don't think so... I remember the fight with Hatton, Roach broke down Hattons outside punches perfectly, instructed manny with a specifically timed counter right hook, and that gave him 1st round knockdown...

i guess your new to boxing..

anyone who knows the sport at all wouldve instructed manny to capitalize on that. i saw the same thing and so did everyone who knows anything about boxing, its not a secret that hatton is wild with his hooks and theres plently of ways to counter it.

telling his fighter that hatton telegraphs his hook isnt a deep breakdown, nor is it telling a lefty to counter it by beating him to the punch with a shorter hook of his own, its very basic. a fighter shouldnt make mistakes like that at this level, any trainer who missed that should find another profession.

One thing i respect about him is that he doesn't panic like Emanuel Steward.
