British Trainers, how do they compare

I don't think they're better per se, there's just more good American trainers than British ones.

There's also more **** American trainers to compensate.

Could you imagine any mentalist, even Vinceyboy, failing to notice that McClellan was completely ****ed, for instance?

Also, I think most British trainers would have pulled the likes of Lacy well before the end.

We're catching them up, for definite, partly because lads are staying with their amateur trainers in the pros more often.

No disrespect intended, but guys like Bobby Rimmer are bucket men, not trainers of championship class fighters.

 

Haha....and he never has done either!!

 

Mccracken was getting a lot of good press and has without doubt done some very good work with the likes of Froch. I was disappointed by our Olympians though and particularly that they often seemed to have similar faults (...i know we won medals, but that was due in no small part to a few favourable decisions)

 

I think theirs only so much a trainer can do. Its easy to put the blame on them but the onus is on the Fighters and Managers also.

I truly believe what hurts British Fighters is that they stay in the UK far too long. When they should be doing the exact opposite. They should try to fight in other countries and hone their skills, learning different styles, fighting different types of fighters, etc. And this should be done early on in their careers.

Instead they are being spoonfed the same type of fighters over and over. That when they face a fighter outside the UK like US fighters. They get completely lost and have no idea what to do.
