Lucky... Listen to yourself, joe just learned on his own, maybe not the best but still damn respected in my eyes:blood
always have a lot of time for nobby nobbs,may not of produced world beaters,but trained some tough jouneymen, just thought i aint heard about him in a bit,has he retired
Rob McCracken, what he did for Froch in them final rounds keeping his head straight against Taylor was superb. Joe Gallagher is cracking as well.
Not a trainer but am going with Benny King !!!!!!!!!! The way he wipes yer face as he "tells yeeee" just dosent compare ......and thaa tracksuit.......GODLY !!!!! :thumbsup
Nobody could train someone to fight the way Calzaghe did. I wasn't a fan of his as a fighter, or him personally, but his ring intelligence was a major attribute..... his father was just someone who cracked the whip in the corner now and then. Pretty much very time his other fighters fought genuine opposition at their respective levels they lost. He was a good cheerleader, but I don't see him as a great (or even good) trainer, able to come up with a gameplan by studying the opponent ala Steward for example. Joe did that by himself.
On a serious note and on paper, Breen. Theres too many to compare a give and get etc Someone said Calzaghe Snr got lucky, what a crock of ****.
Mental, i just posted up the Cal Snr "got lucky" thing and this appears. What you know about them as a partnership? Joe did what by himself ? Its easy to say his dad just thrashed him to bits in the gym......its harder to understand they had a bond and an understanding, DIFFERENT of course to a general fighter/trainer combo. Many fighters seek a father and find it within a coach for example, theres many as you know. I dont get your post. I would see it as more an awkward situation for both as much as easy......
joe gallagher, well grounded trainer and a decent guy plus having Kerry Kayes in the team is a fantastic help. If it was past trainers I would say George Francis was the real deal!
Ritchie Woodhall, he has a the right philosophies on how to fight and he understands the mechanics of the game, ontop of that he is an excellent corner man which is extremely important. Good trainer and good cornerman, two different things. Woodhall always give his fighter sound advice. I dont know much about McKracken's training technique's but if he has worked with Froch that long and he is still throwing uppercuts from outside and reaching in when he goes to the body then i suggest he has not been taught a lot, he probably has the worst defence of any World Champion out there, Froch was obviously born with balls of steal though, so he has managed to make it work for him and become a Champ but that aside his technical game sucks.
i would say george an danny vaughan , u only hve to look at the camp they have built in the last few years , myself, paul smith , steven smith , liam smith , joe macnally , paul edwards , and now just come on board is joe selkirk , the gym is flying thanks to george an danny
Brendan Ingle by a mile. The rest range from average at best to utter crap. The vast majority of British trainers are merely 'conditioners' and 'towel wavers' Ingle has produced a whole string of champions from a very small geographical area. Graham,Anderson,Nelson,Hamed,Rhodes,Pickering,Witter
