    Do your homework pal?
    The diffrence is he's had his nephew since he was 8 years old in the gym and IMO is the worlds best boxer, not many so called top trainers have had a boxer from scratch and equalled what Virgil has done

    Do you rate Ward higher than Mayweather? not looking fort an arguement just interested i rate Booth pretty highly if you look at Haye and Groves both have outstanding skills and are excellent mentally

    Yes I personally rate ward better, although Mayweather is pure class as well.
    Nobody at present will get near ward lets face it Froch wants no part of him

    Ward needs to move up to 175 and clean up for me before I have him above Mayweather.

    Personally think Rigo is P4P number 1 though I don't anyone will agree.

    At 168 he has nobody in his class even GGG wouldn't give him too much trouble i also think he beats Stevenson and Kovalev but i think Mayweather is better in every area

    I could never get past Booths personality, himself and Haye seem like a pair of tossers to me. The whole Dark Lord thing made out that Booth was some kind of genius which I don't think he is. Booth was probably a better promoter than trainer and was uncompromising in his approach. While Booth got what he wanted he pissed a lot of people off along the way and this may effect his long term future. He also seems greedy and has priced himself out of training some good fighters. I can see him fading off the scene when Haye finally is finished.

    Wouldn't the fact that Booths gym is in London and David Price lives and has a probably young family in Liverpool have something to do with their partnership not working? Davids last 2 bouts have been abroad so thats probably as much travelling as he wants.

    The partnership not working was more to do with the ££ Booth wanted,thats 1 greedy man, but a good coach never the less.
