    Those options aren't mutually exlcusive.

    He's both.

    He's a great trainer first and foremost.

    Khan from before Roach wouldn't have beaten Kotelnik IMO.

    If he can get that little slut from JERSEY SHORE to go out with me then he's both.

    I'll tell you why he is a great trainer.

    He focusses on the fundamentals.

    True, if you give Roach a physical specimen to work with early on in their career he's more than likely going to transform them into something special.

    Just imagine what he would have done for a fighter like Zab Judah.

    You do realize that he trained both Toney and Hopkins at some point don't you?

    The guy has a wealth of knowledge. Of course he's a good trainer. What kinda stupid ass question is this?

    What the **** you think?

    IMO Roach is the greatest trainer of this era. By a fair margin. Steward 2nd best.
