    With practically no expertise with Heavyweights

    Odd choice for me personally

    Will never be as odd as Salas having to wear them high heeled shoes to take Haye on the pads.

    I thought he'd picked Angel Fernández to be head coach. Silly move this with garcia.
    At least Angel has been working with him for years.
    I dunno, just don't sit right

    Things on Twitter announcing this with the attachment that the Usyk rematch is in Saudi Arabia on July 23. Has this been officially confirmed and I just missed it?

    Mentally shot fighter.

    1-1 with an obese (grinning) middleweight.
    Soon to be 0-2 against a feather fisted cruiserweight.

    Should stick to fighting heavyweights then!

    Not too sure what the value of a new trainer is in all honesty. McCracken with Steve Peters might be the best shout for him

    Mid Summer in Saudi Arabia means it’ll have to be indoors surely? Or will they have air conditioning?

    This doesn't bode well for AJ. Can see him losing the rematch.

    Any trainer he chooses could be in the ring fighting alongside him & he's still losing the rematch.

    The second AJ stepped out of the UK everything unravelled.

    Battered by Ruiz Jnr
    Taking the Saudi money for the rematch
    The dodgy BLM speech followed by the backtrack "I didn't write it"
    Naming a chain restaurant that stretches as far and no doubt makes the bulk of its money in Qatar as his favourite local eatery
    Schooled by Usyk

    His stock has dropped dramatically, stay humble was always nothing more than a PR gimmick but for at least try and follow the lines, walk the line.

    Angel Fernandez is still AJ’s pad man but presumably Garcia is being brought in here as a tactician and an experienced head to run the camp?

    For someone you claim has seen there stock drop dramatically one has to wonder how AJ manages to get site fees like the $120 mil the Saudis reportedly bid for the Usyuk fight.

    If thats the sign of a stock dropping dramatically then his clearly got it good.
