He built Jeffries into a world champion but there seemed to be a clash of egos as well. What’s the story behind Tommy Ryan as a trainer!
Ryan was one of best trainers in the business, but he was also a perfectionist, so he had a reputation for walking on fighters at the drop of a hat when they stopped listening to his advice or rubbed him the wrong way much like Blackburn, Duke Ellis, Goldman, or Benton. He helped develop a lot of excellent fighters such as Kid McCoy, Young Corbett, Jim Jeffries, Ed Dunkhorst, Con O'Kelly, Mike Cantwell, ect...
