Is Buddy McGirt overrated as a trainer?

Buddy McGirt is overrated.

If I see a title fight on TV, and Mcgirt is in one of their corners then I figure that guy is probably going to lose. No joke.

He's too low key and looks like he's taking a nap during rounds and is only woken up when the fighter goes back to his corner.

Least he does care about his fighters though and is not afraid to throw in the towell to save them.

I think he is overrated as a trainer. The mark of a good trainer is having a fighter start from the ground up and all the way to a world championship. There are few trainers in this sport who have done that because most are usually taking over for someone elses work. Manny Steward is in noway overrated because he had Tommy Hearns since the amateurs and made him into an all time great. And brought alot of fighters out of the Kronk to world titles and polished Lennox Lewis into a great heavyweight champion. Buddy Mcgirt needs to give better advice then you got do something baby or I'm gonna stop the fight type advice and the same goes for the overrated Ronnie Shields who I cannot stand as a trainer worse then Buddy. I remember the Tyson vs Lewis fight and his advice to Tyson was hey Mike you got to start throwing punches.
