    Robert Garcia is overrated imo too he did nothing for marg and he should have made sure rios made weight.....donaire was already made when he came to him and mikey was trained by his father

      Hopkins was not sloppy or boring in the Pavlik fight. Who trained Hopkins for Tarver?

        I hate to agree since I like him but you're spot on. I think he's great as a philosopher/teacher but he's not really proven or accomplished as an actual trainer as some people would suggest. I still think he has potential to be a great trainer. Maybe he'll have his chance to really bring a fighter up the rankings with an up comer or possibly Mosley's son?

          What makes Robert great?

          Nacho might be the only on of the group that's considered "great" as far as trainers go.

            Anyways, every fighter should have Richardson on their team. At the very least as an assistant and have him in charge of checking gloves. He knows more about the commission rules than the commission does. And, obviously any other trainer does too.
            Mayorga was a different fighter with a different style at a different weight. Margarito was easy pickings for Mosley as he could let off power shots with ease.

            Yes Richardson is a great cornerman but that has nothing to do with being a great trainer. If thats the case Leonard Ellerbe is one of the greatest trainers ever.

                  Yes he looked sensational vs a blown up Kelly Pavlik, I totally agree. And he looked great against the Tarver who dropped 40lbs after the Rocky movie.

                    Is Leonard Ellerbe a great corner man? In what sense? Because, ******ally rubs Mayweather shoulders? I can give you examples of Richardson being a great corner man... Now give me one of Ellerbe.

                    So if Mayorga has a different style at a different weight, then why even mention him as a put down to Richardson?
