I was just having a little think about the current LWW-WW's and I suppose we all wonder how a certain fighter would do under a different trainer. I'll drop my few in who I think could probably make a difference to the boxers careers.
Lucas Matthysse - Robert Garcia
Garcia has some brawlers at his gym, and he has improved Maidana's game, and it is very noticeable. Somebody like Rios is beyond trying to train he has one direction in his style and doesn't seem to want to change it. I think Garcia could definitely improve Matthysse's punch accuracy and timing, as his defence isn't really too bad.
Amir Khan - Roger Mayweather
This is an obvious no due to monetary reasons (megafight etc) however if Roger could have taken Khan on after Freddie, I'm sure he would try and add some sort of defence and counterpunching skills to Khans boxing ability. I think he could use Khan's best strength in the best possible way, speed kills! I do believe Khan however is not a very good listener, and the only time he truly did take some advice was in his fight against Kotelnik.
Frankie Gavin - Freddie Roach
Gavin is abit of a underdog, he always looks relatively unprepared, his demeanour does not look very serious, however he is always 100% when he is in that ring. Roach being an offensive coach could do wonders for this kid, he doesn't have ****** KO power, but he has heart and with that if guided properly, and disciplined he can go far in the game.
I'm struggling to think of anyone else currently, however I'm looking forward to what the rest of the guys think.
