Lulz America the place for HW's to improve. This isn't 1970. Povetkin went from less than a 10% chance to zero.

Since when does Roach get so little respect? He was widely considered one of the best trainers of the sport a few years back, what do you think, he just lost that knowledge and wisdom all of the sudden? Shook it off with a parkinsons attack? Ridiculous. I like to poke fun at his camp for losing recently as much as the next person but let's be real here. Roach is still a world class trainer.
