Who else does he train? How much credit should he get for keeping Froch grounded against Taylor? :think
Thanks. :thumbsup That's his whole stable, those two? Anybody follow/remember his career in the ring? He lost in his two consecutive title bids (his swansong against a still undefeated Eastman) but doesn't seem to have had a bad run. Personally, I don't put any stock in the "worse the fighter, the better the trainer and vice versa" superstition (it's just coincidence that, say, Roach and the Mayweathers are so much better than a McGirt. Look at John David Jackson - good fighter & good trainer.
Rob McCraken was the trainer of the "Real Class of 2002".... This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected
^^^ "He keeps his hands very low and it makes the opposition think that he is easy to hit - which is just not the case." Lmfao. Froch = Legend.
He's a decent trainer by all accounts. Very honest and forthright in the corner. I think him and Richie Woodhall are the real young talents of British boxing trainers. Darren Barker is the best of the rest of his stable without doubt. Very solid all-round fighter, if a little questionable on the durability/chin side of things.
He's certainly not shy about getting in his man's face and telling them what's what. I like that in a trainer. Froch totally respected him, you could tell (even though he had a few brainfart rounds where he either forgot or ignored the preceding corner advice).
