roach hates guys like shilstone, he got pissed off at billy blanks for trying to do his job for him, he even stated in the countdown that macke needs to let him do his job for the boxing part.
Thing is, Billy Blanks was very detrimental to Toney... had him train on a 1600 calories diet... stupidest thing to do. That's how girls lose weight, not boxers going through a high intensity training camp. Mackie Shilstone actually has you eating MORE than you would usually. I own three of his books. He actually recommends that boxers ingest (food + supplements) more than 6000 calories a day. Mackie knows his job and knows his limits.
Absoultely not. Shilestone works with Hopkins' conditioning while Roach works on Hopkins' boxing. They are completely different. Shilestone has never failed when he took on a boxing athlete. He helped Spinks move up to HW. He helped RJJ move up. He helped Hopkins move up to LHW against Tarver and the reason why Hopkins brought in Shilestone again is because he needs every advantage possible against Calzaghe. Hopkins' body will be 100% ready for this one. It will look like it did against Tarver and that body was more well rounded than the one we saw against Winky.
