    is that who that was? LOL. He was talking about Rocky Marciano and Jack Dempsey trying to motivate Williams. Merchant said something to the effect of "Williams has 3 jockeys on his back" they were all talking over each other that was a disorganized corner.

    I normally like his work, but Ronnie Shields did Tua absolutely no good whatsoever in the Lewis fight. Instead of tactical advice or tips he basically boiled down to just screaming stuff like "What are you ****ing doing? Hit the ****ing guy!" as each round went by. As much as Tua went into his shell as Lewis took the lead, Ronnie did absolutely nothing to get him out of it.

    mclellans corner in the nigel benn fight seemed clueless, he went into that fight on his own.

    Zab's Dad in EVERY fight the same advice: 'Zab, you gotta let your hands go! ba-ba-ba-ba-BA!!!!!!'

    Lacy's corner... should've pulled him out in round 9, 10, 11 or 12

    and the winner is...

    Meldrick Taylor's corner going into that fateful 12th round telling him he needed to fight big to win the round and then distracted him after the knockdown

    Not to defend them because hsi corner has done an awful job on more than one occasion but I'm sure the recent Casamayor-Santa Cruz debacle was fresh in their minds as they made that order. I wouldn't have wanted left up in the judges hands either honestly.

    Hagler against Leonard. His corner were ineffective but maybe this is down to Hagler being the boss by that stage

    That was the other Klitchko, Wladimir, against Ross Purrity, not Vitali.
