    There hasn't been a lot of talk about the respective trainers and corners. I would give the clear edge to McCracken over Banks and Bashir across the entire front of: [1] preparing in camp; [2] providing instructions; and [3] commanding the required respect from their respective fighters necessary to have their instructions implemented. For example, in the Fury fiasco, Wlad's corner seemed almost as paralysed as Wlad and, when they did instruct him, he didn't seem to listen. Wlad will be under pressure from a younger, faster, stronger and aggressive Joshua and his corner might not be up to the task of getting Wlad to do what is required beat Joshua, especially letting his hands go. A fantastic corner might be able to get a near-shot fighter through a very tough fight, but Wlad's corner, while good, is not fantastic. On the other hand, McCracken will be on completely on top of things and Joshua will listen and fight accordingly.
