Alex Arthur MBE .

Bit of a surprise, but well done to Alex.

 

Who has Moses ever beat?

Katsidis was shot to ****.

Martinez was a good win but he wasn't number one in the division, nice of him to follow up that win with three **** weak defences against Evensen, Laryea and Cook.

 

I guess they want to make sure he is not part of the pro independence camp...

No, I am joking, well done.

 

It is. One world title fight and he lost it.

the likes of Ricky Burns and Billy Nelson have achieved much more in the sport and would be fitting of them to receive the honour.

 

Ricky yes but sorry not Billy he's not done as much as other pro trainers imo

 

Alex Arthur gets MBE status, but not Froch :bart

 

only Scottish trainer to take a Scottish fighter to a two weight world title and basically trained Scott Harrison when he was world champion then Peter stepped in a few weeks before the fight.

Took John Simpson to winning the Lonsdale title outright.

Gym is open to all comers pros, amateurs and white collar guys as well, basically lives in the gym training guys who want to learn.

 

the first point is spot on as for training SH then PH stepping the last 2 weeks i cant believe that ....And Danny Lee was with John when he won all the other British title to get to that stage ...

Gym might be open to all comers but they will need to pay that's why he is there he has said himself he is a full time trainer so has to earn his living from his gym and there is nothing wrong with that

He is not a registered Amateur club so will not have Amateurs and any one can train people to box white collar because they just steam in and are knackered after 3x1

And im not having a go at Billy but you need to stop thinking he is some sort of god

 

well done alex.trust billy 2 bring the thread down and get burns name in there.......NO NEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

What makes you think he got it due to his boxing

 

Martinez was never the ring magazine number 1. He was ranked at number 2, (and rather generously at that). Nevertheless a good solid win for Ricky.

Katsidis and Moses were decent wins, but neither were world champs.

Katsidis only ever held 'interim' titles (as you acknowledged), and Moses held the 'regular' WBA belt.

 

God bless rab bannon, a fukin good guy for the brig. S

 

Aka bull**** belt

 

Boxers pay 10% of there purse the same as any other coach mate,all my boxers pay a very minimal amount per year for the use of the premises, the diffrence between my gym and most in Scotland is i never asked for a penny in grants every penny paid for in the renovation and new gym equipment came from me and my wifes savings,i never got tens of thousands of pounds from councils or sports scotland so my conscience is well and truely clear.
I dont intend having a Amateur club here but so many amatuer coaches call me for sparring every week and if possible we try to accomidate them.
I done all of Scott Harrisons pad and body belt work in the gym spent weeks in training camps with him in London and Fort William i know how important a team member i was when with Scott and have nothing to prove.
Like ive said before if i didnt fit the bill Peter would have got rid of me i was there 12 years before i went on my own and ive done ok since.
I wasnt paid 10% by Scott or Peter or anywhere near that but what i did get was a great education of which i will always be thankful.BN

 

Now he is someone who deserves a MBE for services to our sport! So many lives hes turned round and a great straight forward man
