    If a amateur coach has had 15 plus national champions, a commonwealth champion, olympic level boxers, would you say he could be a good pro trainer or will his style be limited to the amateur scene?

    That all depends very much if he's capable of making the transition. Of course he has a good platform to start as a trainer for professionals, but the amateurs and professionals are two different things. I believe he could be a good trainer in the professionals, but then he has to change a lot of things frist. That's the same transition a good amateur goes through when he loses his vest, anyway.
