    Experienced coach who helped train his namesake. A trainer who is known for his great motivational skills. He would tell Tyson Fury what he needs to hear in between rounds. The peek-a-boo style is what Tyson Fury needs to adopt for his rematch with Usyk. Tight guard, come forward counter punching. Thoughts?

    precisely this. I like Teddy as an analyst but he isn't exactly a great trainer. His claim to fame was training a young highly gifted Tyson but D'Mato and Rooney were the biggest influences there.

    He trained Moorer with some success and again Gvozdyk but that is about it.

    He is more of a motivational speaker and analyst than a trainer. And Fury is too stubborn to listen to anyone.

    Two big egos are not a good combination

    I think Povetkin quit working with him, because he's not a good trainer.

    Three big egos. You forget John sticking his big unwanted mug in.

    Who is training Zhang? Shaun Brown? If he is able to turn a 40-something guy with non-existent stamina into a dangerous fighter, he could be also good for someone like Fury who is in better shape and possesses better skills.

    I don't think you can make text big enough on this forum to cover how big of a no it would take to be appropriate for this reply.

    This.

    Throw the appropriate curse before the word no.

    Tyson Fury needs to go back to Freddie Roach.
