    I just wanted to know why do some boxers have so many team members such as Oscar DelaHoya. What I mean by this is they have a trainer, co-trainer, strength and conditioning coach, nutritionist, advisor, massage therapist some even employ sports psychogists. What ever happened to just the fighter and trainer.

    They want the best person for the job and if they can get that then why not?
