Trainers That Changed or Saved a Fighter or Fighters Careers!!!

That didnt work out well, WM wasnt even working his corner for a big fight, wasnt it the Gomez fight ?

Baked :huh

Been a while since that happened nah ? WM ?

Billy N n others would know the old n new insights there.

Arthur was BRILLIANCE under Peter Harrison etc

Sweetest body puncher i seen in quite a time, Hatton included.

No i aint comparing

 

Thanks

It was short and not the sweetest of teams.

 

Arthur's had quite a few trainers i remember Roach and yet again he didn't show for a fight. I would of liked to see Alex stay with Peter but sadly he kept moving around and it's not done him any help.

 

My memory fails me on this one. I know Roach worked with Arthur, but did he actually work his corner in any of his fights? Can't say I recall seeing him there :huh

 

Nah he never he worked with him then couldn't make it and he had someone else in the corner if i remember rightly.

Maybe one of the Scottish lads can help on that one??

 

Harder than i thought it would be Mandanda to pick up on these

 

same here i'm racking my brain and struggling i was expecting a onslaught of posts maybe we aint only ones.

 

Angelo Dundee with Foreman on his come back?

 

Watching the 88 Olympics recently, it's clear Eddie Futch did a hell of a job on Riddick Bowe.

 

Yeah i think we can say yeah to Angelo on this one. George did what he had to do and won no one can moan at that :happy

 

Here's Article on Arthur and Roach...Roach missing from his corner yet again.

 

I think that the late George Francis did a great job with Frank Bruno and John Conteh, he also helped condition and mentor many great fighters in the 60's, 70's and 80's....:yep

His book George Francis - Trainer of Champions is a great read and talks about how in the 60's,70's and 80's he developed many boxers from ethnic backgrounds that promoters would not touch because they could not sell tickets... many of these fighters went on to success.. Francis did this in an era which made him very unpopular...he gets the thumbs up from me all day long for that...:good

 

Manny steward tried his best with Taylor :rofl I was looking forward to him going back to his corner every round

 

:rofl there was some hilarious quotes on here from him and Taylor. I need to dust em off. You could see Manny was trying every way to get him to fight better.

 

Great Post NO MAS :good
