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.
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.
