    No thoughts on trainer that could maximize your fave's chances of makin' it big? (or avoiding disaster)

    There are more fat people in steam rooms than there are people posting on this forum now.

    I just thought I'd point out that although you're a terrific poster, having to refer to everyone by the first letter of their name is one of the most obnoxious things I've ever seen.

    It all depends on the fighter. It's a chemistry thing -- there are many fine trainers out there, but connecting with a boxer, learning what makes him tick, being able to teach and motivate him in a way that he absorbs ... those are the things that make it work.

    My bad, if it's rude, cyrax99
     
  6. Abel Sanchez is a good trainer. He turned Golovkin into a awesome boxer.

    It's not rude, it's just redundant, and pointless. If you're quoting someone, we know who you're referring to. For instance, if I was to have a discussion with you, and I went like this:

    "So John, how have you been? It has been forever since we talked John. It has been great to catch up with you John, we need to stay in touch John."

    That would get a little monotonous, wouldn't it? Just as you know they are referring to you when they are directly talking to you in real life, we know very well who you are talking to when you're quoting someone on here. Seems very pointless to refer to someone by a nickname every single time you reply to their post, you get me?

    well explain the skillset John?, out of the box i'd say Nacho since he teaches counter-punching and beautiful combination punching(Lopez, the Marquez bros, Zaragoza etc) more so I like him since most of his world champ's he taught from scrap instead of just getting a gifted boxer on a silver platter.

    he's not a prospect and all(Gamboa) but there arn't many that are interesting, Gary Russel Jr. would be a good fit why not learn both sides of the fence after all?

    Agree, if he'd listen,but after 12 thousand amateur bouts,he thinks he knows it all.
