    Robert Garcia overrated?

    Donaire was losing to Vic until KO
    Lost a wide UD to Rigo

    Rios lost to Alvarado and Pac

    Marg VS Cotto and Pac

    Soon as his fighters step up, they lose...

    Steven Luevano vs Lopez

    he's a trainer that would tolerate to see his own fighter's foot on the grave. I'm not pointing at this fight but like the Margarito fight.

      Mikey Garcia is one of boxing's top up-and-coming fighters. I dont count too much of Donaire's recent struggles against Garcia. Donaire and Garcia didnt train together much at all for the Rigo fight and Donaire seems disengaged since 2012 when he was FOTY.

        How? He's working with what he has, His fighters lost to better fighters so what? I don't even like garcia for laughing at the roach parkinson's jokes but he definitely is a damn good trainer.

            Garcia is good but hes not on Roaches level

            He had 24 rounds against Roaches fighters and his couldn't win 1 round

              Yes, I think you are right. I never thought this dude was a very good trainer. Honestly, it's as if he doesn't come in with any strategy at all, or maybe just one and that's it. He gives his fighters bad strategies, and you never see any adjustments. However, some of the guys he has as fighters are limited. I think he changed Margarito's style to something that was awkward for Margarito, as far as his stance and other things. Rios, has always been very limited. Donaire, only does good against one style. Rios' strategy against Pacquiao was very transparent, Garcia had no adjustments, and their was no urgency in his corner. It was more of a "play it safe, we know we're going to lose" kind of strategy. So, yes I think the trainer is very overrated. Rios is a C/D level fighter.

                Mikey will find it harder as he makes weight in a bigger class vs better opposition. Fighters he beat aren't too great. Salido is OK, Lopez is sort of done and Maretinez again is OK.

                The division at 135 aint too hot but let's see how he does vs crawford or someone

                Exactly, these fighters lose a lot when they get hit so much. From Vargas vs tito #9His dad) etc...

                His game plans do seem pretty basic to me. Gradoviich looked like he used no skill, rios either.

                Maidana will lose to broner too IMO

                  Huh? He destroyed dib. The hell. Again he is working with what he has. Let me guess you wanted gradovich to do shoulder rolls. Gradovich had the perfect gameplan which was to impose his strength advantage on dib.
