Is Buddy McGirt overrated as a trainer?

[Hunter]

He also has never had an extremely talented and dedicated fighter in his crop. The fighter is 80% and the trainer is 20% IMO.

Manny Steward has had his share of flops, like Kermit and Jermaine Taylor.

If the fighter is extremely intelligent, talented, and dedicated the trainer plays a much smaller role like in Money Mayweather and Roy Jones cases....

You are one helluva trainer if J Taylor is one of your 'flops.'

I wouldnt say Jermaine Taylor was a flop but the Trainer/Fighter relationship between Manny and Taylor didnt work out and Taylor seemed to regress while Manny was his trainer.

90% of Taylor's successes came while he was not trained by Manny...
