    Of course I've heard the name but don't know much about his particular attributes.

    What are his strengths and weaknesses as a trainer?

    Only con I can think about is that hes a grown ass man, but he looks like the little kid from Jerry McGwire. Other than that, he is a wonderful trainer.

    He is a very brilliant guy. Never gets excited, seems very very smart about the game.

    I think him being calm sometimes stops him from lighting a spark under some of these guys' asses though. Like DLH at the end of the Mayweather fight, and sometimes to me Manny Pac looks a bit complacent for times in his fights. His fighters sometimes fall into lulls during their fights.

    Hopkins wont, though.
