Eddie Hearn .... is he bothered?

[JimStone]

He’s brilliant but can he beat these giants in the HW division?

Yes. They could beat him too but he is easily good enough to beat anybody out there.

How many of the class of 2002 flourished under McCracken?
Is his reputation built on Froch's granite chin?
Froch and AJ were brilliant amateurs. Which other pros have done well under McCracken?

I could be wrong here , but does'nt having the english job exclude him from having pro's , but he got an exception for Froch and AJ , could be wrong but i'm sure i read or was told that somewhere , either way i still think Aj needs to get away from Sheffield , , wether he just opens his own gym in London and tell Rob thats it your with me give up your other job , or go with someone else , he needs to be took away from body builders and get in the gym and start punching , , The guys , won a olympic medal , he's beat Parker , Klitchko , and others , he has what it takes , he just needs to work at being a boxer again , he has to go back to the mindset when he wanted to be a champ and not a buisnessman robot , and he's not gonna do that when he has all these well paid sports scientist , having him build muscle mass , instead of boxing muscle memory .

He doesn't train anybody else in the pro's.

I think Eddie Hearn will be bothered,as much as i dont like him he is not just these guys promotor he is their friend too,look what he done for Bellew's career,you listen to to these fighters and they praise Hearn. I do think he under estimated Ruiz,a guy who is in the top ten in the heavyweight division you need to have a full training camp to concentrate on the guy.

He doesn't now, but he used to.

Eddie was saying all along , they cannot underestimate Ruiz , he was coming with a belief he can win , There problem was it was probably the most important fight of his carreer , and they could'nt cancel , hindsight probably wished they did

Even when Tony Simms was cornering AJ, it was open secret that McCracken was actually his coach. I think there was some sort of rule which prohibited an amateur / professional cross-over coach.

Yeah it was an AIBA rule that if you coached a pro you'd get banned from coaching amatuers. I believe they changed the rule for McCracken
