1 Peter Harrison Pro's/Am's brings his boxers up from amateurs to Pros has trained more Champs plus 2World Champs

2 Rab Bannan Pro's/Am's Ricky Burns coach's from boy till man and still bringing boys through maybe needs to watch out for the poacher

3 John McDermott Pro's/Am's Another man that's had a World Champ and still runs a club for young people

4 Terry McCormick Pro's/Am's Has a few good young Pro's and runs the best club in Edinburgh at the moment also trains CW Silver medalist Josh Taylor who is going the Olympic this year

5 Billy Nelson Pro's Only.... Trains Ricky Burns 2 time WBO Champ and the back of that young boxers will go to him then we will see if he can do anything with them ....i remember he had to Stars from the Am's Kris Hughes and Santino Caruana they done nothing under him so watch out boys all that glitters is not Gold

6 Colin Belshaw Pro's/Am's Has Kris Carslaw going for a British Title Soon also trains Aston Brown and Joe Ham GB Boxers but i hear Aston will turn over soon

7 Sam Mullan Pro/Am's Rhys Pagan and Martin McCord only about 19 or 20 both Top Am's should do well in the Pro's also runs a very good Amateur Club

8 Alec Mullan Pro/Am's trains young Ryan Collins just 18 i think he had over a 100 contest in the Am's
won his first pro fight the other night also runs a very good Amateur club

9 Davie McAllister Pro's/Am's brother of Lee and Matty has a few pro's runs the best Amateur gym up north

10 Kris McAdam Pro'/Am's Has a few Pro's not the best ones but honest young hard working guys a credit to the game and rumours has it his son Darren is turning over soon he won all sorts as a young Amateur

Spot the ODD one out :shame: :shame: only one taking out

Is it Rab Bannan because he only uses one vowel in his whole name?

Get your facts right mate Kris Hughes left me winning all his fights 11-0 and Santinio only lost one then chucked it!
You sound like a sad Barn boy jealous of Ricky's sucsess,remember it was Ricky who asked me to train him not me him and to be fair i think hes done ok.
Im the only Scottish coach to train a two weight world champion myself,now stop trying to have a cheap dig at me and get your homework done!

Loads of good coaches there with Peter Harrison by far the best in the pro game and Danny Lee the best in the ams imo.
Listen mate ive been coaching alone with Peter for approx 13 years and had a great experience,if you know Peter like me if i wasnt any good i wouldnt have been there.
What ive achieved in 4 years since ive been myself i couldn't have dreamed of but hard work pays off mate!

Smashing you never replied about Kris and Santino mate 17 fights between them 1 loss? Come back to me when youve got some facts mate not pish.
One of the most important things i learned from Peter was people within our sport would love to be were he was,its down to pure jealousy and theres no need for it,people are simply better than others at what they do its the same in all aspects of life.

Think this is a silly thread. In my opinion Peter Harrison is the best coach we have, been doing it for a lot of years and is more than proven. Billy is a very good coach aswell and I've seen him train the guys in the gym he knows what he's doing and is building up a very good stable of fighters. Scotland has 2 world class coaches maybe people should respect them rather than give them crap. End of the day the proof is in the pudding.

Unfortunately Ronnie has family plans for that weekend. Ronnie has offered this fight up here but im pretty sure that they wont take that. They didnt want the fight before I believe this was more of an empty offer. Ronnie is hoping to be back out on the 8th June hopefully he can get an opponent
