    in Huntington Park, CA. All three are down to earth, humble guys. Brandon welcomed me to the gym anytime for a visit. The guy truly appreciates the fans support. All three guys could not have been any nicer. I spent about 20 minutes talking boxing with Robert. He didn't mind it one bit.

    From our conversation I gathered the following:

    Margarito is not fighting this year

    Canelo is head and shoulders above Chavez jr.

    Rios is looking to fight Barrera after Antillon

    Rios - Antillon will top Antillon - Soto

    Mikey is looking to fight for the title in his next fight

    Fernando Vargas is not making a comback

    Freddie Roach is overrated

    What I gathered was from talking to Robert only.

    The point was made of how sloppy Chavez jr looked against Zbik and how a lot of Roach's fighters don't show enough improvement from fight to fight. Khan, Vanes, and Chavez jr were mentioned.

    Garcia's record of training fighters to titles is amazing for such a young guy. Could easily turn out to be one of the greatest trainers of all time if he keeps it up, he's already surpassed many and is one of the best out there today. My cuirrent favorite trainer and stable. The guy's only 36!

    I even think Roach isn't the best trainer for Khan as well, but so far Roach did teach effective aggression to Khan. I just think Khan needs more. He's too fragile, albeit talented.

    I think he is the best trainer at the moment.

    Roach is seriously overrated. Pac is a great physical specimen so if you take him out of his stable how good is he really?

    if you guys haven't seen improvement from Chavez Jr between his fights with Vanda and his fights against Duddy and Zbik then you are blind.

    If you haven't seen improvement in Khan from a guy who got KTFO at 135 by Breidis Presscot in one round to a guy who has beaten Kotelnik, Maidana, and Malignaggi at 140lbs then you are seriously stupid.

    Roach is the best trainer in the game by far.
