    What a few months that lie ahead for Booth.

    I personally see him getting Haye/ Groves double. where will that escalate him too ? Be best trainer in UK without a doubt (if not now?)

    what are your thoughts on the trainer battles:

    Rob McCraken - rate/like him as a trainer both ams and what he has done with Froch. but Froch is one dimensional , you can take a horse to water... Booth isn't stupid - he has seen something that he thinks Groves can capitlaise on - in his 20th fight!

    Pete Fury- Booth has this guy in his pocket everyday of the week for me. Came across well in the presser I'll give him that. but lets be honest, he hasn't tasted this level and will be out his depth in every department.

    thoughts?

    Has mccraken trained any else other than frock?cyou can't argue with a young trainer (booth) taken two fighters from the AM's to world level.

    McCraken too busy with the GB set-up so hard to comment on his professional coaching career other than to say he's made Froch the absolute best fighter he could possibly be.

    Seems to me there at least half a dozen or more good trainers around.....great for the sport in general.

    Not a good year ahead. Groves and Haye will lose their fights.

    2 losses coming up for Booth soon if Haye Doesn't get Fury out there early, Froch will TKO Groves.

    i think booth is a good trainer, but the way people are making him out as some master tactical genius is silly.

    Remember the Klitcho fight ???

    Booth's being over rated here as a trainer. As a manager/promoter he has done very well from humble beginning.

    I can see him losing one of the two fights obviously the Froch fight being the more obvious one.

    I'd laugh my ass off if Fury won.

    I think as an all round package (trainer, manager and promoter) he's elite level. Still question marks as a trainer. Haye v Klitshcko was an abomination. Still question marks over Groves
