What if Brian Sutherland had proper training?

For those who have seen the legendary Brian Sutherland or followed his storied career, I wonder what would've happened if he'd had better training.. Like if he learned the basics like footwork, punching technique, head movement etc. I mean he did clearly have the intangibles, like heart, and tenacity, but he really needed a good defensive coach like Floyd Sr or McGirt to compete well, and hide that glass jaw better. Any thoughts on where he might've gone? Would he have perhaps won a fight?

I think I get what you're saying.. His situation was not much unlike Sam Langford, where he was avoided , hence didn't get the big fights, and hence lacked the recognition.. Good points:good

 

He might have some of the worst footwork I've ever seen.. But it couldve been helped..Maybe....

 

And that terrible moonshine incident...... He was just learning his craft before he was taken from the boxing public.. I heard he is still a trainer in NC somewhere
