Any knowledgeable trainer requires a fighter with the potential, desire and trust to put into practice the full content of specified training programmes with the required intensity and with essentail frequency. Not every fighter has the ability, desire or discipline to commit to a well thought out, productive and educated regimen. But those fighters who have a certain level of skill, either under development (potential) or fully established, who subscribe to and trust their trainers methods, advice and adjustments, will flourish in due course. So, how good is a trainer? A good trainer has the knowledge and insight to identify strengths and weaknesses in his fighter(s) and opponents. A good trainer is a motivator and a leader. A good trainer is a trainer who will condition a fighter physically and mentally. A trainers reputation lies in the hands of the fighters he trains. You can lead a horse to water but cannot make it drink. Trainers who have charge of fighters who are willing to fully commit will develop better fighters. But not every fighter can be a world champion. Fighters who fully commit to a thorough and suitably ardous training schedule and are coached to be psychologically granite, who also have world class potential, will achieve their potential. As in all sports, it is all about levels. Billy Graham had to have been a very good trainer. Could any other trainer have helped the Hattons, Bingo Bingham, Michael Brodie, Michael Gomez, Matthew Macklin, Paul Burke, Steve Foster, Carl Thompson, Anthony Farnell achieve central area to world titles? Yes they could have and in some cases did. A champion (or potential) fighter is an intelligent fighter who knows he is being trained well. If the good or potentially good fighter does not have the ability, potential or work ethic to put into practice that which the knowledgeable trainer insists there is no mileage in the Trainer/fighter partnership. When all is said and done potentially good fighters who develop a sound relationship with knowledgeable trainers will flourish under their charge. And a trainers reputation as a good trainer will grow as a result of the fighters success. Billy Graham was an excellent trainer.

For what it's worth having trained with Billy he was a good coach not great not poor but good, at the right place at the right time that's what made him, that bit of luck.
