Did you read any of my comments? i've always said nazim richardson was a world class coach even before the whole margo-mosley fight. joseph? dude i'm not white.:deal
Exactly. Nazim says: "If a bullet misses you by 2 inches, it's just as dangerous as a fly.". He trained Shane to defend himself against Pac. Yes, he was able to by those occasional right high guard blocks to his face and back pedalling. The problem with that is, it negated the offense that Mosley had resulting to a one sided boring match. I'm now more convince that Pac will defeat Floyd moreso than before the Mosley fight.
Yeah, he should totally come forward and tell everyone before the fight that Mosley is shot to **** and has zero chance against Pac. He should have urged people not to buy tickets and PPV, but instead he kept blabbing about Mosley's strengths and legendary status. It almost looked like he WANTED to decieve boxing fans into buying this fight. What a tit.
Freddy's right. Nazeem sucks. He forgot to plant wine-corks, cans of sardines, a box of shake-n-bake, or whatever in Pacquaio's wraps.
Exactly. Looking at Hopkins, Mosley and Cunningham, what exactly has he done to help them? I don't think he's helping Cunningham improve and the same goes for Mosley, who I think could have extended his career with another trainer. Hopkins is the exception, yeah, but he was taught how to box by other guys - Naazim only devised the strategy and it's the strategy that has cost Hopkins in some fights. Given how physically good Hopkins still is, he doesn't need to be involved in these scrappy, boring fights. He could do a Pavlik on everyone out there yet gets into scrappy, ugly fights. I think Naazim does deserve the blame for that. Of course, if he's winning, it's hard to fault what he's doing. I'm not saying he's a terrible trainer or anything but he's making brilliant boxers fight ugly. Hopkins could be better if he wasn't using the tactics he does, Mosley certainly would be. I think Cunningham could improve too. The thing is about Naazim, is that he has a weird following. When his fighter wins, he gets a lot of praise but when they lose, it's because the fight is old or whatever. It's a strange one which has probably come out as a result of the way he talks and acts.
nazim is more of a tactician than a teacher, manny steward, freddie roach and ronnie shields are brilliant teachers. According to most of nazims fighters he doesn't teach anything new or correct many mistakes, he tries to work around whats there, creat a gameplan around what a fighter already has.
This deserves a good bump...According to TS's logic...Mares trainer is just as dirty or does this apply the Nazim only??:-(
