The man hasn't lost a fight since 12 years old.. has one hotly contested battle with the boogeyman Kovalev and that alone is enough to warrant a coach change??
Without Hunter in the corner after round 2 Ward would've mentally collapsed. The man is also a father figure to Dre, hearing that voice keeps him focused.
The people say he hasn't built any other stars from scratch.. ok, same could be said for Roach.
"Look what he did with Khan and Berto.." well look at Emmanuel Steward ruined Jermain Taylor, does that mean Steward sucks? ..some fighters never mesh well with certain trainers. Ricky Hatton and Floyd Sr never worked whereas he did better with Joan Guzman due the style.
Virgil is a guy that preaches patience and timing, Khan, Angelo and Berto are fighters that wanna be in the pocket trading shots. a style like Lamont Peterson, Cory Spinks and Chris Algieri is what fits Hunter's style. a coach would try to mold a fighter into his preferred style.
