    Are there any successful trainers that have never competed as an amateur or pro?

    Virgil Hunter never fought as a pro and I think he only had a few amateur fights.

    there are loads of good coaches in all sports that never did the sport they coach in to any sort of level

    obviously their level of intelligence is a universe beyond that of the average armchair expert

    its the biggest broscience moron insult ever xxxx is **** cos he doesnt udnerstand boxing cos he never boxed himself

    I seem to remember hearing that Steward was a very decent/good amateur (+100 bouts).

    Shane McGuigan took over training Carl Frampton in 2011 and as far as I am aware only boxed as amateur.

    He would have been a very good boxer if he had the desire and was focused. He had 35 amateur fights, only lost 2 and won 3 national titles.

    Let's get it straight people saying "only boxed as an amateur" if you have had 50-60 amateur fights you're more experienced than half of the pro's fighting these days. 3x3 round bouts in the ABA's are harder than fighting most pro journeymen 4x3 round bouts.
