    What’s peoples thoughts on Anthony leaving his own fighters for 3 weeks to be with Callum Smith in the States if I were a fighter i wouldn’t be happy he should concentrate on his own fighters IMO

    I'm not up to speed with what Crolla is up to post retirement. By 'his own fighters' do you mean fighters he manages or trains? And if he's a trainer, do these fighters he's left have upcoming fights?

    How has he left them for 3 weeks, I am sure he has only been in America around 1 week. Highly unlikely any of the fighters will be fighting in next few weeks so no issue. Plus he is Joe Gs assistant, great experience being a 2nd in such a mega fight. Will help him as a trainer.

    This seems an odd post with an agenda but I’d say Crolla has gone away at the quietest time of year to go and gain some invaluable experience around a massive unification fight in the states. I’m guessing his fighters are only going to benefit from his experiences out there.

    Ant trains 3 fighters for me and has dedicated himself to them for 6 months knowing they are not going to fight . Knowing It will be at least 3 months at best before they do fight I cannot see the problem and question this post as feel his application is beyond question ?

    I don't see going to watch elite level boxing up close and personal as a a bad thing unless his fighters have bouts in that time?

    Joe G needs one of his lackys to operate the spit bucket - no probs with Crolla taking the role as others done the same for him @teamjoegallagher

    Steve that’s not entirely true any fighter can get a call given a few days notice as we have seen many times over the last few months fighters like Macaulay McGowan who I admire greatly
    PS no hidden agenda just thought a trainer shouldn’t be leaving his fighters to be in another trainers corner good luck tonight Callum

    I'd say there's literally zero chance any of crollas fighters getting a fight in the next week. Pointless gripe

    Moog to answer your question there was a couple last week one last night nobody can say if they were a fighter and your coach left you for two or three weeks to go in another coaches corner they would be happy if your answer is yes I’m sorry but your lying to yourself
