Given KB's resources, I do think Sham, or Chris Martin, would do at least as well, if not better, than KB with Parker. But you're right, Kiwi, KB's talent? is that he takes Parker (and Izu) under his wing, houses them, takes care of them, and sets them up with quality sparring in Vegas. That's what he brings to the table.
With Tua, same thing. Except I feel for KB with Tua being so ill-disciplined. He coulda won a title. Tua wouldn't last a month with Sham, and vice-versa. KB is a Big Lights, Big City sort of trainer, who has hair transplants. Sham has a full head of hair, and when Tua started dogging it, Sham would have him climb One Tree Hill and then herd sheep the rest of the day.
If I were Sham, I'd be envious of KB. Trainers want that "once in a lifetime" fighter who can go to the top. He had Tua, and now has Parker. When you are at least as good as the guy in your profession who's getting all the kudo's. Congrats on Sham for not being bitter and twisted. I'd be.
