Mayweather was right about Virgil Hunter.

[Zaryu]

Hunter is one of the better trainers around, that doesn't mean he can make every single fighter he trains more effective. It's a tough job and the fighter is ultimately responsible for his performance.

[bigdunny1]

Did we forget, he got dropped and repeatedly tagged by Stevenson in the first fight? But he weathered the storm and managed to drop Stevenson in kind.

The difference: no Virgil Hunter in the corner throwing towels back then.

Could you imagine Hunter training Angulo? MF'er would never see round 6 again.

He did train angulo against canelo, and ironic enough that's the one fight he refused to throw the towel and let his fighter get beaten to a pulp. That fight went about 4 rounds longer then it should and might be why now he is quick to throw the towel. Lmao

I didn't watch it because it's a non-fight. So what happened?

It turned out to be a non-fight. Just one guy punching the other guy until the corner threw in the towel.

[Zaryu]

Actually, yes. I forgot about that. He must have left ringside while Canelo was treating his fighter like a punching bag. Either that or Angulo is the reason he now threw the towel for Fonfara.

I've been there, it was just one of those moments where out of all the fighters to choose from you actually brought up someone he did train.

I think Fonfara just never fully recovered, and Hunter knew it, vs Angulo just getting beat up, but mentally and physically he was still there.

I didn't watch it because it's a non-fight. So what happened?

Fonfara got beat with one arm/punch. Reminded me of Jacobs/Quillin but with one extra round.

Ask Floyd what fighters has Roger or Senior trained and made them great.

You want to know who's a really good trainer regardless of which 20 something year old fighter comes to him? Robert Garcia. He's the only trainer who i've seen legitimately train dudes and make them better.

Most of you don't even understand how training works. You probably watch too much Dragon Ball Z or something.

You like pointing fingers at some trainers and letting other trainers slide when they can't change a fighter either.

Considering that Roger is responsible for the greatest fighter of the generation, he's cemented.



Senior isn't a good trainer despite what he says - evident by what happened with Ricky Hatton against Manny.

[KingHippo]

It turned out to be a non-fight. Just one guy punching the other guy until the corner threw in the towel.

Pretty much what I expected.

[HarvardBlue]

Hunter isn't a bad trainer. His mannerisms makes it easy to tune him out but if a fighter has the patience to listen to him he makes good boxing sense.

[Teetotaler]

Of course he was toby

[HanzGruber]

He's not a miracle worker wtf is he supposed to do lol. He got ktfo by joe smith is he really gonna be good vs Adonis. Doesn't matter who his trainer is he gets beat

[ea22]

I have been of that opinion for a while. He seems to try to turn fighters into something they are not, instead of working with what he gets and they show up all confused. I began thinking this after watching him give terrible advice to Angulo.
