If Roach isnt considered a good trainer, then no one today is.
reality is that its more about the fighter than the trainer. What I do know is that Khan looked ****ty and fragile until he met Roach, and then he started winning against good level opposition.
even a perfect trainer(and Roach isnt a perfect trainer by any means) cant completely change who a fighter is, they simply take what they see and try to point them in the right direction.
On topic : Roach is so overrated it's sickening. Without Ariza's insane conditioning "skillz", Freddie would be losing a lot more than he has been recently.
Funny though, first Linares, then the Pacquiao "win", now Khan.
I never really fought he had a reign. He did wonders with Pacquiao with the help of incredible match making but thats about it. It was mainly media hype, but he deserved it for what he did with Pac man.
