    Roach isn't an ATG, he doesn't come close to someone like Steward. Steward made multiple ATG's and you could see that he moulded the fighters to fight the style he wanted. Roach got lucky and got an athletically gifted fighter and just had to teach him some basics to make him great.

      He needs one more to prove he isnt overrated. He's only ever had Pac.

      If i was a pro, i would go to Garcia, Reynoso before Roach.

        He’s not an ATG. He’s a good famous trainer. He’ll get big gigs because of location and a perceived ability to do overnight wonders but he’s never made any top fighter from scratch really.

        Nacho Beristain is the last great trainer.

          A better question is if Roach is not a good trainer why do so many good boxers want to be trained by him rather than anyone else? No trainer who's fighters fight at the top level win consistently. Name one trainer who wins consistently at the top level.

                Khan improved and had his best years under Roach.
