    The lads he's got should all at least take Commonwealth.
    Bell - Gets a move on should be able to achieve at least Commonwealth maybe British. Apparently he has boxed rings around Murray in sparring.
    Crolla - If he finds the form that he's definately got, gets some confidence and a bit more power, should definately get Lonsdale
    Bellew - Bit early to tell but at the mo commonwealth is defo within reason
    Selkirk - Same as Bellew
    Gavin - World honours without a doubt.

    A lot of good trainers on that list but, having to choose only one, my vote went to Rob McCracken.

    Isn't he worried about his fighters tripping over the lawnmower?

    Wheres the Ingles??!! Dave Coldwell??!!!

    Brian Lawrence?

    Riche Woodhall? Up and coming trainer

    Also think Errol Johnson and Bob Plant from this neck of the woods are under rated trainers

    Out of that lot I like McCracken

    icshbaad mentioned Brian Lawrence i think hes definitly up there

    Dave Coldwell is a definite he reminds me of a young Angelo Dundee, one week hes in the corner in an important British Title fight the next week the corner of some journyman losing his 35th fight in a row

    How can you leave out brian hughes!! Hes a genius. He has Mac donna , Matty Hall , Jennings. Hes trained the best fighters in britain for over 25 years. Hes number 1. He Teaches different old school skills , defensive techniques from back in the day. Hes a excellent trainer , hes starting to take more of a back seat now but hes still the brains of the operation.

    I agree. I think very highly of Hughes.

    There's one guy who I think was a great trainer but may get overlooked, and though he's retired now, still deserves a mention - Nobby Nobbs. Say what you like about his fighters, yes most of them had losing records, but they had fights in the hundreds and they never got hurt. Nobby taught them how to look after themselves very well, and as a result had great longevity (case in point: Peter Buckley).

    Maybe Paul Cook. Cook and Mitchell aren't scintillating talents but he's taken both to good levels so far.

    I don't know about Harrison. Moore is quality but I don't know who else he's really had. He had Khan and Khan was improving but then he left and I don't know what went wrong there because no one will say.
