I don't expect the change in trainers to improve anything. I've always been of the opinion that Hall of Fame athletes make horrible trainers/coaches/managers. It's just impossible for them to relate to guys who can't do the things they could do.
Sure, Whitaker was a smart fighter, and there must be tricks of the trade that he could teach a fighter, but so much of what he did was things that you could never teach. I will be surprised if he is successful as a trainer.

I just read today that Gatti may start working with Whitaker as well. I think that one is pretty funny. A trainer who always focused 100% on defense, working with a fighter who only cares about offense.
Yeah, you're right on the money, because when he came up against Klitschko he found himself out of his depth, against a fighter who was his superior and he didnt really have many ideas or Plan B's and C's to deal with him. To be honest, I don't think that many of today's great fighters will bother turning into trainers because they've got the big bucks already.
