Totally agree.

Hopkins needs a trainer like he needs a Summer's Eve Strawberry Scented Douche.
I agree with that. Hopkins has been in the game so long and learned so much that there isnt all that much a trainer can add to his game. Hopkins knows what to do.
Yeah at this stage a new trainer isnt guna make a fighter a whole lot different . When Tyson was training for the Holyfield return they boughy Ricthie Giachetti again and tried to bring back the basics . A fighter doesnt need that at the late stage in their career . If anything it will make them worse . Hopkins has his strategy is in his head I am sure . Roach is there simply to overview it and add his slight adjustments to it .

An assertive trainer like Freddie is probably the guy I would have chosen for Hopkins at this late stage but maybe Oscar has recommended him . Either way I think Winky will be the guy going forward in this fight with Hopkins taking advantage .
