    I honestly feel this man is the most underrated trainer in boxing today.

    Look what he did with Froch and now Joshua. He deserves A trainer of the year award.

    1000% agree. And to think that some are saying that Joshua should move on to the likes of Roach, etc. LOL

    Last I remember him, he was getting his arse whooped by Howard Eastman.

    Joshua is average, and has poor defense. If Joshua was 6'2 he wouldn't be that good. What credit should McKrakin get. He did his job, but the attributes that make Joshua good have nothing to do with McKrakin.

    i give him major props for Joshua. round 7 to 9/10 joshua was guided tremendously.

    take the rounds off, get your breath back. Then bring out the beast again!

    One of the best trainers in boxing at the moment , if AJ stays with him , the sky is the limit.

    If Mike Tyson was 6'8 he wouldn't be that good, his style wouldn't work, in fact he would probably adopt a different style and hey presto he's a 6'8 guy who tries to box from the outside with a 75 inch reach. Unless we give him and 85 inch reach, let's give him less power as well. Now he is no longer the Mike Tyson we know.

    You can't say if a fighter didn't have this or that they'd be crap, because they are no longer the same fighter, probably wouldn't fight the same way, pure nonsense. SRR wouldn't have been that good if he'd been 5'4 with no boxing skills & no power. See how ridiculous that is

    I actually think Roach would be great for him

    When did AJ do best in the fight ?

    It was when he was being a come forward wrecking ball type fighter, Wlad couldnt handle it at all

    I dont see anyone who could really

    Roach is the man to go to for the aggressive come forward wrecking ball style

    But toughness and reach don't keep your at or near the very top level and achieve what he did
    I mean look at ogogo bang average and I mean average yet he had a hand in him getting as bronze medal he by rights should have been no where near

    Super Middleweight was thin. He got the robbery of the year against Dirrell. His best real win is Taylor or Kessler, and he ducked Adonis Stevenson.

    The hurt runs deep
    Carlsberg don't do chins but if they did they would probably be based on Carl Foch,s





    And khan would want to buy one
    Can't duck a guy a champion in another weight division you never fought at
    He was a career smw

    Adonis Stevenson was the IBF top contender at Super Middleweight if I recall.
