    Better fighter than trainer and Better trainer than fighter?

    First pick is Pernell Whitaker. Excellent fighter. I've only seen him train Zab Judah but wasn't impressed. Freddie Roach was a crappy fighter but made up for it as a trainer. Any other examples?

      Robert Garcia won a chanpionship as a fighter...could he have done better as a fighter if he stuck around?
      Roger Mayweather was a great fighter for his era until Chavez waxed that ass...would you say he was a better fighter or trainer.

          Most great trainers were not very good pro fighters and most great/very good pro fighters do not turn out to be very good pro trainers.

              Only one I'd add would be Mayweather Sr. as a better trainer.
