    Iron sharpens Iron and fighters go where they think they have the best chance to improve

    Fighters flocked to futch then steward then roach then Garcia. It's the natural order of things and because of Spence and charlo he became the it trainer

    My mistake sorry I thought Derrick took over before the Garcia-Tank fight Anyway it was obvious to all there was something very wrong with Errol he was in no condition to fight he needs a thorough physical & Neurological examination before he gets in any ring again. Jermell is a champion 14 pounds lighter in weight than Canelo How can that fight be sanctioned it beats me

    James said in an interview that the fighters don’t train at the same time and rarely see each other

    It's so easy to blame the trainer. James is just like anyone else he is trying to make as much money as he can you can't blame him for that. I assume training fighters is his full time job so there are enough hours in the day for his whole stable to get a fair shake.

    Let's review the excuse list, always fun:

    1. Weight drained/dehydrated (dont see why you buttplug boys pedal this bc that is SPENCE'S responsibility anyway)...Ive gone on record saying he looked dehydrated but that doesnt matter...its like coming to camp out of shape - its on YOU
    2. Outgrew weight class
    3. Car accident from 2019
    4. High on drugs
    5. Residual neurological damage
    6. Dementia
    7. Illegal blows to back of head (per Jermell)

    You are pathetic. And also you @Olu G. Rotimi

    You absolutely hold James accountable. He had Spence so utterly unprepared it makes one wonder if he was in camp at all? Or...if he's remotely competent? And if any of the excuses are legitimate why didnt James tell his fighter to move up in weight or retire? And why did James keep sending Spence out there to take more damage? If people think he had a TBI why is his trainer promoting more damage?

    You PBC buttplug boys are more brain dead than an actual TBI patient

    And that clown won TOTY..cant make it up ctfu

    Yup. Nothing wrong with that either.

    A man needs to earn a living and a boxer needs someone to train him.

    Derick is just doing his job and as long as he isn't spread too thin he will continue to do well.

    Only time will tell…
    Although it unfair to judge him by Crawford wiping the floor with Spence
    & if Nelo does the same to Jermell - those are very tall orders to service.
