Does Robert Garcia preside over the fattest/laziest camp in boxing?

You're on to something. I love Garcia but his not a disciplinarian like Jesus Rivero, Nacho Baristein, or...Teddy Atlas...and it shows.

I remember Robert talk about how he grew up from grade school age being hounded by his dad to train and spending his entire youth in the gym. He had no social life in high school and by the time he was world class he could scarcely stand boxing because of the sacrifice.

He has a very laizeze fare (sp?), laid back approach as a result. It has benefits in that his fighters don't seem to get burnt out. They don't lose their love of fighter. But they also tend to show up in great condition.

 

Alex Ariza was their savior. Without him that gym is nothing.

 

Maidana always makes weight.

not his fault his physique looks bad...

 

Then comes in the ring overweight fights like hell and fades after round 5 and on.

 

I personally put Rios failure in Garcia shoulders for allowing this burro to gain 23 lbs in few hours slowing him as turtle been knock out by a feather fisted fighter is an embarrassment for the trainer too.

 

even mikey didn't make weight on one of his fight.

 

No he doesn't. The trainer trains and comes up with the game plan. Ultimately the fighter has to want it. Rios didn't want it. He started to hate boxing. How did Garcia go from one of the top trainers to the above being said about him? Armchairs.

 

Something needs to be noted that everything n everyone Garcia was being praised for 2yra ago is pretty much gone.

 

Isn't Garcia the losingest trainer in recent history?

 

I gave a brief answer. I didn't give the definition of what a trainers duties are. It's already a given that Garcia is a good motivator.
