Deontay Wilder fires JD's from head trainer and replaces him with a new trainer

So your comparing his fighting attributes to his ability to teach a fighter? No logic there im afraid.

 

Exactly.

A great fighter does not necessarily make a great trainer.

 

Not surprised. Jay Deas was obviously a useless yes man.

Seemed to be employed to shout "YEAH" while Wilder just plodded around throwing 1-2s at the pads.

 

Jay Deas was nothing more than a cheerleader.

 

So due to the Starling fight, we decide Breland knows nothing about boxing

Nothing?

 

No Mark

You said he knows nothing

The above is not the answer to that

 

This is the only thing - his style of fighting has been ingrained in him for so many years that when under pressure he will more than likely revert to form.

Although he frauded the public for over 40 fights at least he was somewhat entertaining and has that lightning right hand. The first Ortiz fight (65yo) was extremely entertaining.

There are some really exciting match ups with Wilder and I would love to see him with any of the following:

Ruiz
Joshua
Whyte
Usyk
Helenius
Chisora
Fury 3
Joyce
Etc.

I just hope he's finally done with trying to cherrypick everything (old Ortiz and fat coked up inactive Fury) and willing to fight some actual opponents . Let's be real he was in a way forced to take the Fury 2 fight after being shown up

 

I didnt say Breland was a great trainer, I was just agreeing with the comment Sparta made that you can't really judge a trainer on his fighting ability as they are two different things.

I mean, have you ever noticed coaches in other sports often failed at the highest level in said sport, but end up excellent managers/tainers in spite of it?

Being a coach/manager/training is about motivating your fighters, learning his strengths and weaknesses, and how to improve both, as well as studying opponents etc...it is a completely different discipline and you can't say a great fighter will automatically be a great trainer.

That's really all I was saying.

 

You do realise there are trainers that have never laced up a glove in their life but are good trainers? You do also realise there are very good fighters that make **** trainers and vice versa? There is no logic in what you are saying im afraid. Dont know what strain you got going there but it sounds like

 

I think Mark Ant is talking **** on this one. I love his enthusiasm for boxing which should be something will all share but to say Breland did not have fundamentals is bang out of order.

 

I suppose you know more? Pretty bold statement here. What are your boxing accomplishments compared to Brelands?
