:TU: shiver up my spine every time I see this clip, it's more his facial expression as he says it.
With Nunn against Curtis Parker he called for the uppercut, calm as you like and boom, next minute it's all over.

I miss Dean Powell in the corner, he was calmness personified.

Dennie Mancani "he half swallowed it that round son", according to Benn he was so thrown by that statement that he actually believed it and was all geed up for the second round.

Dennie Mancini is a great shout. When Henry knocked Rod Carr clean out of the ring he kept about two thousand volatile blokes up with just a wave of the hand. Very respected.

Dave Coldwell in Ryan Rhodes corner against Jamie Moore.

Spot on gameplan for that fight, no one expected Ryan Rhodes to take the fight to Moore.

Remember helping out in the corner in a ameteur fight , Start of the fight , Boxer and Trainer are on the apron , fights just gonna start , so his trainer gives him some clear concise advice , it went like this ,,

Trainer, you fought this guy and beat him before ,,,,,, Boxer Yeh

Trainer , You beat him on points , once ,,, Boxer Yeh

Trainer , You stopped him in the 3rd last time Boxer Yeh .

Trainer ,,, Well get the fornicate out there and stop him in the first Now ,,, Cos i'm going back to the change rooms and you'll look a cant giving yourself a drink ,,

Bell went ,, his trainer said to me , Cmon lets go back and walked off ,, 30 seconds later his fighter stopped the kid ,, he said he did'nt want to look a cant

Can't argue with you on this , Thers a couple more you could throw in to the equation , but whats the point , theres lots of good trainers out there , we sometimes get carried away with the better known names , but theres lots of good trainers who have took poor to average boxers and made them good boxers ,, took good boxers and made them excellent ,, took excellent and made them champs , and so on and so on

Atlas with Moorer against Holyfield in their first fight was a little strange. Can't remember if it was the same fight or not, but the whole cell phone thing was odd too but I guess Moorer was difficult to motivate.

They say Floyd senior is a great trainer???

Ive listened to him in the corner and all he says is "thats right baby" "do what you gotta do" and nothing instructive whatsoever

Floyd joy Mayweather Sr's corner work takes some beating - i'm sure i witnessed him give a minutes silence between rounds not so long ago. He looked like he was itching give some advice, but nothing came out. Bizarre! Had he managed to blurt out whatever was on his mind, it would probably have been someBo Selecta/Ozzy Osbourne style mumbling follwed by "Sharrronn!" :lol:

Eubanks silent stare was calculated brilliance - Floyd Sr's silent stare needs looked at by a doctor.

The money he commands, imagine paying for that service :o
