Hamed, Nelson, Brook and Galahad

[Pugilist-specialist]

All children who had never put on a pair of boxing gloves, went to their local gym and were developed into World champions.
Some story.

[margaret thatcher]

certainly must have the best record in uk of developing champs from scratch

[SAPFO]

And how many go on to better things after leaving? Not many!

[Coco]

And add Ryan Rhodes to that, I know he didn't win the worlds.

Nelson didn't start as a kid but was taken from scratch

Only Enzo Calz can compete with that

[high tower 1]

Hats off to old man ingle.

[tonyevs]

Enzo had Calzaghe, Cleverly and Rees .. Price didn't quite make it.

Those guys all come through at same time, and no doubt helped each other as much as Enzo's input.
The Ingle gym have produced champions consistently from the great Brendan Ingle to Dominic Ingle.


Nothing in the UK compares to it.

[margaret thatcher]

did clev and rees actually start from scratch, in the ams, with enzo?

[Coco]

Was Herol Graham with Ingle from a kid or just as a pro?

Yes as little kids from scratch, Bradley Pryce too

[smiling assassin]

Some achievement that. True boxing trainers

[tonyevs]

It's also the amount of guys that were developed there to become top domestic fighters.

I remember watching a documentary many years ago on how Brendan ran the gym - it was a million miles away from the typical gyms I'd gone to.

Was Herol Graham with Ingle from a kid or just as a pro?

I think he boxed for a Nottingham club. Radford, maybe.

Correct boxed there right until his ABA win I believe. Radford Boys ABC. Same gym as the booth brothers.

Pro. Graham already had that style before he went to Ingle. Brendan used Herol as the template.

[coghaugen11]

The English squad deciders wouldn’t pick Graham (or later Benn) for internationals (because of their different-to-norm styles).

[Pugilist-specialist]

Nelson didn't start as a kid but was taken from scratch

About 13 or 14 I think. Roughly the same as Barry. Still kids

[Nightmare Roy]

there should be statue of Ingle in the city

[polecateddy]

Didn’t the Ingles bring Danny McIntosh up from scratch to win a European light-heavy title?

Vince Cleverly trained his son for all his titles in his pro career.

His dad trained him as an amateur and he turned over with Charlie Pearson.

Good topic.
There must be similar stories from Mexico, Ghana??

ah right,cheers

A trainer that gets always overlooked - so I will always champion - when it comes to great accolades is Ronnie Rush - two world champions pretty much from scratch professionally at least in a small gym. Two stylistically different fighters also - but he gets overlooked / forgotten about even in Wales.
