Is Abel sanchez the best current trainer out today?

[Canelo and GGG]

His decent ,GGG was build in ams by post USRR trainers,we are yet to see GGG vs A level opponent.

sanchez is decent at best.

norris and his brother were made champs by their father and youth coaches. sanchez is what held norris back as a pro, under sanchez his defense declined and he was overly aggressive resulting not only in KO losses but DQ losses from hitting downed opponents. sanchez only made these issues worse.

ggg's defense has declined under sanchez as well, only reason he gets away with it is his level of competition. gassiev hasnt exactly fought a murderes row either although to be honest i havent seen enough of him to give a fair assessment.

sanchez is one of those guys good at detecting talented fighters and stroking their egos. as far as training them goes he just does maintenance. i have never seen a fighter improve under him, as mentioned its usually the opposite.

I don't. Sanchez is a GOOD trainer. He keeps his guys humble, hungry and imposed his will [style] onto them. His guys are generally supremely conditioned, know the game plan and know what they're doing.

Having said that, he leaves some stoned unturned, or redirects the attention to other areas. For example, I do not see much defensive improvements from Gassiev over the last year or two. He still walks forward, eats a lot of jabs and likes his short hooks. In itself, that's not a bad style - it's a little Tysonish. But Tyson had amazin head movement in his prime.

Or look at Golovkin - if you watch him early on in his career, he had great defensive instincts ALL the time. If you look now, he's more comfortable exchanging. While that is a viable strategy, that makes less of a complete fighter. If he faces off with a bigger puncher, or a bigger guy with a great jab (Ramirez and Callum Smith come to mind, but their jabs are mediocre), he'll have no answer for them.

And I'm not saying Golovkin is a bad defensive fighter. He does a lot of subtle things that make him a great defensive fighter, but he is not consistent, and he doesn't prioritize defense enough.

In short, I'd like Sanchez to be more of a complete trainer. You can't fall in love with what you do well, you gotta have a bit more balance.

Two world champs. GGG and gassiev. Gassiev was a no body and he made him a world champ with no real amateur pedigree. Refined ggg's style into the pros. On top of that, he's trained multiple world champs and hall of famer terry norris.

How about ingle or Sims. Does the trainer have to produce champion after champion? Or improve a fighter the maximum that can be done? If you don't have elite fighters come to you does that suddenly make you a bad trainer?

[Madison Boxing]

yeah he is, best trainer in the game imo

I wonder if OP would still feel this way if GGG left Sanchez...
