best current british coaches top ten??

Tyson lacked heart when he got hit. In his prime he was unreal.. IMO the best heavyweight of all time Great footwork. Very fast hands and good angles. He also had unreal power. I'm not a believer that any fighter beat Tyson. Tyson beat himself. Should watch all his fights up until the Douglas fight. You lose the head in boxing your done

 

Drugs Hookers and Don King killed his carreer his book tells you he fought with a raging STD haha

 

That will be his coaches fault lol

 

The old Tiger Woods Effect mate Bangin Sluts n Sinkin Putts haha

 

Freddie is a class coach as is Virgil, they have produced technically great fighters with Freddie more attack minded and Virgil more defense focused. Amir khan still fights like an amateur at times. He's not got the brain power to know any different.

Rob McCracken on the other hand. Name me a fighter he has produced that is technically great? You can't

End of argument

And as for billy. Ricky burns is average

 

Well your ability must be amazing if a two weight world champion is average, do you realise how ridiculous you sound mate

 

Only a complete idiot wouldn't rate Rob McCraken, as for Oliver Harrison I'm surprised he's not on all lists, a very underrated trainer.

 

That's because he spends most of his time looking after amateur fighters ( and doing a pretty damn good job of it). Like I said in my original post "I would like to see him train more top pros"

 

Look at gb in the tornement since he took over broke all sorts of records campbell. Joshua. Selby ect have improved alot under him.

 

Your talking about amateurs fighting amateurs. He's more of a mentor for the team GB amateur boxing squad. He did not school these guys in the gym in their younger days. These guys were well schooled before going to rob.

Rickys been fed mediocre opposition bar terance Crawford. Ricky burns is average looks European level at best

 

So where does Rob and Billy go in your special list?

 

IMO a trainer is only as a good as the fighters he has.
Obliviously all trainers will differ in some aspects to others, but at the end of the day you can only improve/take a fighter so far with coaching, the fighter himself needs to have ability/attitude/determination etc to succeed.

 

:deal

 

That is a very true comment, the fighter needs to take a lot of responsibility for their own career.

A coach can have all the knowledge and training skills but if the fighter can't take it in or doesn't want to take it in then it has got to be as much the fighters fault as the coach.

 

Yes that's well said. Angelo Dundee said Muhammad Ali would have been great no matter who trained him, its just that they two mixed well as a team. Angelo said he more or less praised him all the time, he didn't teach Ali much because as a fighter he was great because of his superb reflexes and instinct. Gainford ( think that's his name) the coach of the great Sugar Ray Robinson thought he was the best trainer in the world because of who he had, yet no other fighter in his stable came close too Robinson in terms of success.
