IMO its very easy to blame coach's at the end of the day its up to the boxer to throw the shot and win the fight the corner can only advise an make sure there fit enough for each fight can not do every thing for the fighter ,,, do think roach has alot on his plate tho

 

"Word is Roach suggested USA Boxing bring international judges and international boxers to the training center in Colorado Springs to get the Americans accustomed to the styles and scoring system that have given U.S. amateurs so much trouble in recent Olympics. Roach was told -- and I'm serious about this -- USA Boxing didn't want the judges "spying" on the program. Roach and Jose Ramirez, the prominent lightweight American, were caught one night tip-toeing back into the practice facility after the official USA Boxing training day was over. Both were chastised, as if they had been naughty boys for seeking additional work. Likewise, the fighters were told that when they finished three rounds of sparring on "sparring days," training for the day was over, even if they wanted to work more with other coaches.

Roach, a person close to the situation said, wanted to work with the mitts, the time he gets to know who does what well and not so well, but USA Boxing said, essentially, there wasn't enough time for Roach and his mitts. Just as in 1984 in Los Angeles, when several boxers left the USA Boxing coach to work on their own at Muhammad Ali's gym in Santa Monica, several members of this team were still working with their individual coaches in the days leading up to the trip to London. The British boxers, if you want an example of another approach, trained together for something close to three months."

Pretty incredible.

Who exactly makes these decisions?

 

Blame Amir Khan. He jinxed the whole Team USA Boxing by having a photo with the group.

Rubbish, look at all the Ukrainian Olympians, they have more of a pro style than any of the US fighters and they're still cleaning up. US doesn't have the talent, brains or culture to produce top boxers. Just pumps out b level fighters like Berto and Broner.

 

Get the **** out of here, you don't know **** about boxing. Who has Roger Mayweather ever trained - don't mention Mayweather jr, because that was all sr, All Roger does is hold the pads and look flashy whilst doing it. Sweat Pea, ATG fighter but as pro trainer what the **** has he done. You're dumb enough to think Fundementals of boxing is not as important as being 'slick'.
