When David Price lost to Hammer Coldwell completely threw him under the bus and took no responsibility for the defeat. He immediately said that he had nothing to do with his S&C training and took no responsibility for the fact that Coldwell himself advised Price to bulk up to 275lbs for that fight which to any reasonable observer would have made him more liable to gas out. To put that into context Price weighed in at 250lbs for the second Thompson fight when he gassed out after four rounds. It was so dumb to bulk him up that heavy but Coldwell dodged all blame. For a final bit of context, Price weighed in at 257lbs for the Dave Allen fight when he cruised through the rounds which goes to show how idiotic Coldwell’s advice was. I don’t hate Coldwell but I don’t particularly like him. He clearly has a massive ego and I find that annoying as ****. His treatment and training of Price was horrific though. If I ever saw Coldwell in public I’d probably go over and say hi and chat boxing for a bit so I definitely don’t hate him. He’s just a bit of a wanker though, if you get what I mean. Bit slimy.
He's full of excuses and I've yet to see him take any responsibility for any of his fighters losses. I don't mind him but can see why people find the slyness unappealing. I also recall him blaming the chef after McDonnell's loss against Inoue, not the fact that he went into that trip/fight completely under prepared.
He just looks snide, take all the credit when it goes well, as soon as it even borderline goes south, hides and blames everyone else
We've got two threads running simultaneously here about the dislike for Coldwell and Fowler. Says something doesn't it? For me, Coldwell is the epitome of a man who would sell his own mother and father to get ahead in life. An utter slimeball with zero morals, a chancer who looks to ride on the coat tails of someone else and then take the credit for it. Everything about him just screams slimeball to me. His little pedo goatee and beard, his waxed eyebrows, his shiny little bald head, his sht eating smile. Urgh. Have heard several stories about him about trying it on with married women, partners of mates. Quite why any woman would want to talk to this grotesque little weasel is beyond me. Apart from that he's an alright fella.
He was completely clueless with Ryan Rhodes v Canelo, it was embarrassing. He’s lucky that Hearn likes him.
Because he's a little rat-faced sneak. You wouldn't trust him to empty your bins, he looks that untrustworthy and sneaky.
I hate him because he is an inch bigger down below than my 11 inches - the only guy in the gym that can plank with legs and arms off the ground. Just cannot accept this fact. Sorry I hate him but cannot live with this.
I recommend anyone to listen to the Boxing Life Stories podcast with him. I like him, I like his story, I believe he thinks the world of his fighters. I appreciate I’m in the minority with this though.
Nothing really against him, just think he comes across a bit smug and pleased with himself. The way he was with McDonnell in Japan was embarrassing, acting surprised that the food was different ffs
his momma called him dalvinder, so I'ma call him dalvinder lol. I think he's not liked because he's a rubbish trainer really with a high opinion of himself. he's lucky that bellew got him in matchroom's good books.
The best kid he's brought through himself is probably Jerome Wilson. Wilson's book "Wiped Out" is a good read. Penfold doesn't come across too well.
