I don't think he's lazy. His biggest problem seems to be, as you said at the end, his ridiculous inability to take responsibility for his mistakes.

He get's KO'd by Prescott and it was his poor Cuban trainers fault..

He loses to Peterson and it was the entire state of Washington's fault. Oh don't forget he only won because of PED's too.

He loses to Garcia and now it's Freddie's fault.

It's that attitude which means he will struggle to improve
If he loses then he does need to reflect and make changes where he can improve.

He dumped the Cuban trainer and got Roach and looked good. However his defense has been suspect until it was found out against Garcia, so he moves again and tries ti improve that. I see no problem there. Oscar dumped many trainers to improve himself.
Personally, I think Prescott was going to knock him out regardless of whether Roach was his trainer or somebody else. He was a young, cocky undefeated fighter who thought he couldn't lose. It was all too easy to blame the Cuban trainer (I'm sorry I don't know his name, I don't mean to be disrespectful).

Thing I'm still unsure about is whether Amir WANTS to improve. From the way he talks, I think he believes he has everything he needs but just needs the attention of a full time trainer. I could be wrong - we'll see how it pans out.
