'barn- also its good to remember that fighters-cum trainers don't always turn out their fighters in their own image

Billy Graham was a boxer who by his own admission trains pressure fighters because as a boxer he knows the trouble pressure fighters can give you, and how (or words to that effect, bbn interview a while back)

or, not every fighter Richie Woodhall trains looks like a European amateur style fighter behind a jab and double guard

similarly i saw an interview with farnell (again bbn) where he said it absolutely wasn't his intention to turn out a string of clones and that he'd be a lot more, umm varied in his approach to training than he was in his own fighting. I seem to recall him saying something along the lines of 'I never got much attention from my trainers so i will make sure all my fighters get 100% attention from me' plus as alredy said few will be able to imbue a fighter with dedication for the game and fitness, as well as Arnie

So has Gavin really got problems with dedication and training etc???
Are we saying his weight issues were due to lack of dedication rather than just a young fella growing??

In my dealings with young Farnell, I always found He was willing to learn. Not a bad thing.

Then Frankie Goes To Hollywood to Relax.

Oliver Harrison was appointed as the trainer of Khan because Khan asked him no one else, He went to him to prepare for h last am fight with Kindelan in Bolton..As for FW sending Frankie Gavin to Arnie , Frankie asked FW who do you think I should go to to train me to which FW replied "Arnie Farnell", Arnie never once poached him or anything like that he just callled Arnie and asked, After Arnie told him everything that is gonna be required of Frankie then then agreed to work together..

Frankie is a dedicated kid and will come good in the pro's..Everyone will also see another dimension to him too, Which Arnie will almost definitly bring out in him..
