    Alright there lads.

    Name trainers past and present that you feel rebuilt a fighters career for the better. Took a fighter who was on the slide and made them good again. I like to hear how you felt they rebuilt them and took them back to the top either domestically or on the world stage.

    Feel Free To Add Video Evidence As Well If You Want To Show How They Adjusted The Fighters Style Or Mindset. :good



    NO ROACH & KHAN PLEASE!!! :D

    Yeah Ronnie Shields has done well with him. I'm not sure if Angulo was at his full best that night because of a rumor him being sick before the fight but i do feel Cintron looked a lot better under pressure and showed some good skills that night.

    Yeah i agree with them 2 trainers they did very well. Manny has gone on the record stating that he went back to the basics with both and with Wlad he didn't do long runs he made him dance and work on balance for week upon week.

    Buddys work was very impressive he got Arturo going back to the talent he had because a lot of people associate Arturo with the tag brawler but he was far from it in his early days.

    It all went downhill for Tyson when he scrapped his black ones.

    Hard to tell in just the very few short seconds it lasted, but Jorge Rubio with Khan.

    Pepé Correa and Lennox Lewis, though Lewis was doing ok up till the McCall loss so it's hard to argue against him too much (results are results), but everyone knows he was cheerleading.

    Another bad one - Naz didn't look so good as he used to after he left Brendan Ingle for Suarez/Steward.
