Add Paul Smith's last 3.
John Murray.

Unless his fighter is odds on favourite they seem to lose. Liam Smith wouldn't fight Andrade (his paper title is not highly regarded)

I agree though - unless the odds are greatly stacked in their favour, his fighters lose

Off the top of my head here are the big fights against top fighters from the division hes been involved in:

Paul smith vs ward, Abraham x2, degale, groves
Record: 0-5

Quigg vs frampton
Record: 0-1

Stephen Smith vs selby, pedraza
Record: 0-2

Macklin vs sturm
Record: 0-1

John Murray vs Rios, mitchell
Record: 0-2

Crolla vs perez
Record: 1-0-1

That's a record of 1-11 with 1 draw when his fighters step up. Trainer of the year my a**e!

Wouldn't have mattered who they were trained by, they'd all still have lost but would they have got into the position to get those fights without Gallagher? I don't have a clue.

did Gallagher get them the fights or did Hearn?
Gallagher gets paid to train his fighters and devise a plan to beat their opponents.
P45 time for Tesco Joe I think...

Therefore Gallagher should have at least a 50% success rate?

He's defiantly overrated as a trainer, he gets good results at British and European level, he's never had a fighter from scratch he's had fighter given to him and he's a arrogant pudendum as well

I appreciate the attempt at humour but interesting fact #77 is that there is such a thing as a draw in a big fight. Shocker right.

The style of his fighters seems to be come forward in straight lines, sit on the other guys chest and trade shots with a peak a boo defence.

Ah, that classic example of the sweet science.
Technician, tactician, artist. Coached to the highest level and a joy to watch

I agree - however, as his boxers are mostly in Camp Eddie these fights are hardly 50/50 affairs so as soon as they step up they invariably get beat

Anyone see the interview where he compared his gym (which is actually khan gym) to the kronk back in the day! Laughable.
