Wish the best for him, but virtuosos like him usually end up as mediocre teachers. Things come to them much easier than the common fighter, and the common fighter isn't capable of utilizing the techniques and styles that the virtuoso so effortlessly. Pernell Whitaker was a mediocre trainer too.

Seems like the best trainers are guys who weren't so physically gifted and really had to learn solid technique and strategy to win. Guys like Roach, Ronnie Shields, Garcia, Buddy Mcgirt, ect.

I like Herol though so hopefully he can be an exception to the rule.

He got me in love with boxing watching him on the BBC in the early days. It is like all great technicians they find it hard to train people with a fraction of their talent. He has been out of the game for so long he may have a better perspective now. I hope he does well.

Forgot he nearly committed suicide. Also knew he was a personal trainer.

Kevin Rooney as well. It's interesting that Rooney and Shields were both good pro boxers and contenders themselves. Shields nearly won a world title.

Eddie Dutch and Manny Steward were good fighters too?

Steward was national golden gloves champ at bantamweight as an amateur. Never fought pro though.
