    He was a pretty good fighter, and he's a pretty good trainer. Other than Nacho beristain, I don't know if there are any more great trainers. Maybe they are extinct.

    I like Goosen, admire him, because he brought fighters along from real early and did a good job. Gabe Ruelas had that bad injury, then killed Garcia and that set him back. But somehow Rafael became a worse fighter after he became champ. I think he does some good work, but I think that he hits a plateau, if that makes sense.

    To be honest, I don't think much of him; I don't remember any fighter that did improve significantly under his guidance and most of the advices he gives in the corner are most of the time pointless and turn around the lines of: "COME ON", "DO SOMETHING", "GO FIGHT". I remember Donaire vs Rigondaux, I've never seen someone as clueless as him in order to try to make a difference.

    NAcho though, that's all another kind of a beast, one of the finest out there without the shadow of a doubt.

    The greatest Mexican trainer next only to the ultra greatest, Nacho Beristain-Heredia.

    like many trainers, i feel that he has a specific style that he does well with. anything beyond that, he isnt anything special.

    I don't think anyone could have helped Donaire during the fight against Rigo. Donaire overlooked Rigo, plus he had a bad training camp, which was his fault also.

    Maybe he doesn't know how to teach guys to fight southpaws, specifically, of guys that won't stand there and let you hit them, in general.

    Robert is a genuinely good person imo. He seem to like to have fun with his fighters esp. Brandon. I think he is a great training and has a great stable. I think he can be one of the greatest cause he is one of the youngest trainers out there. Garcia needs to watch out about being stretch thin though, it has happen to the greatest trainers too (Steward,Roach). Training too many fighters and then when they all start to lose they get blamed.

    I don't know what the plan was with Brandon against Pac. Rios seem to be limited in skills, a trainer can only do so much. I think they were hoping Pac was no longer Pac to win the fight. They must of hope Pac would not stick and move and would just stand and trade all night. Not sure if Brandon would have a chance even if they just traded. Pac hand speed landed 2-3 for every 1 of Brandon.

    With the Nonito-Rigo fight I only blame Garcia for not getting Nonito to focus aside from that I think Nonito is a bit of a wannabe rockstar and do his own shit. Nonito was having his first baby and felt he wanted to be with his wifey instead of in the gym. Nonito deserve that embarrassment not Garcia.

    Going back to Garcia, like I said he is young himself and can def become one of the greatest cause already have an elite Nonito and great young fighters Mikey in his care. IMO Garcia just seem to be too nice and tolerate nonsense in his camp.
