Jeez,what is your basis for that kind of statement?
Exactly...I've always said that fighters make the trainers name instead of the other way around...but you have to back track & look at Oscar prior to Floyd Sr.

Floyd made a difference down the stretch...only thing here is...I aint so sure that Roach can make a difference physically over the course of one match. Now, had he been there for 4-5 matches...that'd be different.

I think that a trainer adds to a fighters repertoire instead of making the fighter like some people do. The trainer just pulls out some of the latent dormant abilities that said fighter hasn't focused on.

But that's just Wacko's er-pinion.
There is the issue of working the corner during the fight. Roach has to be a little more helpful tactically speaking than Yoel Judah or Jack Mosley.
