    Buddy sucks as a trainer, he not only gives the wrong advice to his fighters, but I'm hard pressed to find more than 1 example where he motivated his fighter to win in the corner, saying "Baby" after every sentence doesnt count.

    yea and a good trainer should also make sure his fighters come in well prepared and don't overlook their opponents.

    I think McGirt is a world class trainer, even though his recent record does not reflect that.

    But wasn't it Billy Banks that put Toney on a stickly lima bean diet, or something? :lol:

    :lol: I thought it was Roach and Banks, either way I find that pretty funny and extremely hard to belief, because he still came in fat. I forget what match it was, maybe Rahman or one of the Peter fights, but Banks was in his corner actually giving him advice between rounds.:rofl

    You are right, it was the now infamous Roach/Blanks team.

    I also laughed out loud when the mics picked up Blanks giving between round instruction. :lol:

    I thought it was one of the peter matches, what the hell were they thinking by putting that goof ball in the corner, no wonder why he got outboxed by Peter.

    I learned that a long time ago. Especially when he was a trainer on the contender with most of those rejects of fighters

    He's a very good trainer, but his fighters seem to be at the end of their careers. He takes on fighters that are a shopworn 37 or unfocused fighters like paulie.

    Only one I got is where he said to Tarver about giving RJJ too much respect
