Conditions are spartan, it has all come on a shoestring budget and there is a very small catchment area for fighters in comparison to the cities
However due to Enzo's hard work, talent and Nazi training methods, he has developed a hot bed for boxing talent

I'd have thought the conditions of the gym would have changed for the better by now though?

What you state, about the small budget for the gym, means it's an even more of an achievement to see where Enzo Calzaghe has got to in boxing. One of the best trainers in the world in my view. I hope he doesn't retire when Joe does. I feel Calzaghe snr has a lot to offer up & coming fighters.

On the subject of Khan going with Enzo, I think there would be a conflict at some point. Enzo is the boss in the gym, no if's, but's, nothing! He'd be telling Khan what to do, not the other way around!

From my information the conditions are not much better, but it is from this type of enviroment that fighters are bred.
I certainly agree that it shows what a great thing Enzo has achieved.
If Khan if going to be a genuine world champion, he def has the talent, ne needs to be willing to be bullied in the gym

I've not heard any stories of Khan calling ther shots in training, has anyone else?
Khan doesn't come across as someone who wouldn't obey what he being told
