Yes I completely agree - Matthew Hatton has done fabuously well - some will argue overachieved.

But I simply do not rate Shannon above:

Gallagher
Farnell
McCracken

And certainly nowhere near Brendan

I don't know much about the other trainers but I have been under a few over the years. I was working in Manchester for a few weeks a couple of years ago and I decided I would do a bit of trainning while I was there. I ended up in Shannon gyms just outside the city centre. I learned more in a few weeks with him than what I did with others in years. Maybe we just clicked, I don't know. He looks at your physhical make up and helps you to develop your style round it. His enthusiasm is great, he works hard with the guys and he makes sure you get at least ten minutes of his attention even if your not from his gym. Don't get me wrong I have disagreed with some of his comments to fighters in the corner but nobody is perfect.
I forgot to mention he works full time as well, painter & decorator I think.

Aye right mate, he took Kevin Anderson on and turned him into a slow, one punch machine, totally ruined the guy. Military trainng doesnt work for pro athletes, anyone who thnks differently does not know what they are talking about, simple

Not shot, gone stale maybe but that could have been rectified.

Stale, and terrible against southpaws, Magee aside. Anderson raved about Bob but he wasn't up to McIntyre's style.
