    Now then, he gets a lot of bad press from some on here and some critics from elsewhere.

    What's the main gripes with him as a trainer??

    Is Froch where he is despite McCracken and was Eastman??

    No real view meself but it'd be good to hear some views from some afficianado's (<- No idea if that's how you spell it!) on here.

    I think he brings nothing to the table as a trainer. He does not get the best out of his wards. Froch would have now been named King Cobra if he had gone to a better trainer.

    Eastman was always too lazy and nothing McCracken tried was ever going to change that,

    Would you fancy trying to motivate Eastman?

    I think he's a very calm and professional trainer.

    Better than Enzo C !!

    Exactly. I dont know why eastman ever even bothered with a trainer. He listens to knowone, and only does what he wants, when he wants.He should've been middleweight champion, he had the beating of joppy imo....Big waste

    i think robery mccracken is a sound trainer.

    he gives good advice in his corner, is calm . constructive and knows what he is seeing and doing.

    whether his fighter implements or not , he gives them the right instructions IMO.
