    Nacho has his pedigree at the lower weight classes but great fighters and 3 of them are hall of famers
    Roach more of an on off trainer jumps around a lot but when he trains you he trains you good

    Don't forget that Freddie Roach was also a student of the great Eddie Futch and look how great a trainer Freddie turned out to be.

    Depends.. if you're naturally a great athlete with good power then Freddy is definitely the way to go. If you need to learn the boxing skillset to the last detail and get everything you can out of your body, then Nacho is it.

    Freddy's fighters push the pace and try to knock people out. Nacho teaches you to box, box, box and let the KO come if it will, but win every round. imho it was a mistake to try to impose the Freddy style on Linares, he's much better off as a patient counterpuncher, outboxing you and taking what you give him. If he was a more powerful puncher, his new style would work out a lot better for him.

    neither.. Manny Steward when he was younger. Now he doesn't seem as motivated. He would rather be on HBO.
