He's a teaching trainer with career depth and was taught under massive wings also by both Benton and Steward. Roach has respect but they can't all find gems like a near one armed brawler named Pacquiao and ride that light from star to star. Jackson is finding his nitch and improves majority of guys he works with fight to fight. Save for Stevenson who he watched be ko'd..and we're ok with that .
To me the guy is no different than Buddy McGirt, I mean not a HORRIBLE trainer by any stretch, not a superstar trainer, just kind of average pro trainer.


I think Ronnie Shields could do a better job with Kov than JDJ but that's me and I rate Shields' work better but that's just me I guess
