We've got some cracking trainers in this country ay?

Joe Gallagher has the best stable and all his fighters seem to love him and he's having loads of success
Adam Booth has a more exclusive club but again like Gallagher seems to be able to conjur up the perfect plan
Rob McCracken's work with Froch and GB is truly staggering

Shane McGuigan,Chris Sanigar,Arnie Farnell,Oliver Harrison,Jimmy Tibbs,Gary Lockett,Dave Coldwell and of course Peter Fury who seems to have guided Tyson to HW Champ of the world

Who have i forgot??

Tony sims is also prominent, tho I don't really rate him. Just has mates in high places

I was rewatching the Fury Klit fight earlier and I'm sure it was always there but I noticed a conversation between Tyson and Peter in the corner and you can see just by the way they talk to each other and the way Tyson looks at him that there is complete trust there, it's a rare thing that between a fighter and a trainer.

Do you mean he's Camp Eddies house trainer, basically?

Any perceived connection is purely coincidence - you will be telling me next that Eddies wife and Tony's daughter off TOWIE are business partners in a beauty business.

Camp Eddies wife is what? A beauty business you say?

No wonder he's got such softlooking skin. I thought it was just that he's a bit, ahem, metrosexual, and has the kind of extensive grooming programme those sorts often have.

Tony Borg. Trains Lee Selby, (and brother Andrew), Gary Buckland, Craig Evans and a shed load of other pros. Looke like Fred Evans is turning over and will be trained by Borg as well.

Surely Ronnie Davies is the standout for his tactical genius in between rounds against BJS, what did he say exactly? Something like "Go out there and fornicating av him!!".

Shame McGuigan? Bit early for that. I know he and his dad talk as if Frampton could barely throw a punch before he joined them but the truth is ever so slightly different! He seems to be a conditioner to me.

Even a man of Eddies means would struggle to maintain such a tan without the benefit of family discount.

Still early days but seems to be getting a slight Booth-like reputation Not just the Haye angle,the whole new age trainer vibe

His son was a very good amateur, think he went off the rails out the ring.

dont rate him. overtrains his fighters and burns them out. not very impressive corner work when things arent going his way.

IMO anyway.

Best person in the corner that i have seen is adam booth,he just has this calmness about him which i think the boxer will get a great deal from. Waits till u are listening to him properly before he gives his instructions,just my opinion but i like his cornering tactics. I also like caldwell he seems to have the corner calm.

I like the Scouse fella Paul Stevenson, always gives clear instructions in between rounds as does Packie Collins

Special shout out to Billy Nelson, who seems has been single handily keeping Scottish boxing afloat these days,which TBH is in the doledrums just now,especially as far as title level fighters are corncerned

Kris Carslaw fights Liam Williams in a couple of weeks but Williams is a special talent so i doubt we'll be having achamp anytime soon,hopefully Josh Taylor can make some headway in 2016

What about Jon Pegg seems to be doing a good job with Eggington.
