Yeah, saw this on Warren's site. My first instincts said Dixon could win this. But Billy Graham is a great trainer and will have Macklin ready.

Bennie just remind me again why Billy is such a great trainer?
Apart from Hatton? who else?

Farnell? Gomez? Matthew Hatton? Patrick Maxwell?

Maybe you can name than me!

I can think of maybe 2 great trainers who are still active

Enzo calzaghe due to the fact he trained Joe from a kid and brought him all the way through,thats a great trainer.
Brendan Ingle trained Hamed from a kid,Nelson from a Kid both long standing world champions.
Ryan Rhodes British Champ
Herol Graham,British Champ,Euro Champ
Fidel castro smith,British Champ,Euro Champ
Chris SaundersBritish Champ
Brian Anderson British Champ
Esham Pickering British,Commonwealth,Euro champ
Junior Witter British,Commonwealth.
Neville Brown British Champ

Well, training's not my game (as you well know). But I like the way he has resurrected the careers of Gomez and Farnell, two 'old' fighters (in terms of hard fights) who are doing the business again (admittedly at WBU level). He took them into the Lion's Den and got the tactics spot on.

PS: I don't disagree with Brendan and Enzo as great trainers, either. You seem to have taken my post as a slight on them. It was the furthest thing from my mind.

good match making. a good test, that Macklin should come through, and learn from.
