All children who had never put on a pair of boxing gloves, went to their local gym and were developed into World champions.
Some story.

And add Ryan Rhodes to that, I know he didn't win the worlds.
Nelson didn't start as a kid but was taken from scratch

Enzo had Calzaghe, Cleverly and Rees .. Price didn't quite make it.
Those guys all come through at same time, and no doubt helped each other as much as Enzo's input.
The Ingle gym have produced champions consistently from the great Brendan Ingle to Dominic Ingle.
Nothing in the UK compares to it.

It's also the amount of guys that were developed there to become top domestic fighters.
I remember watching a documentary many years ago on how Brendan ran the gym - it was a million miles away from the typical gyms I'd gone to.

I think he boxed for a Nottingham club. Radford, maybe.

Correct boxed there right until his ABA win I believe. Radford Boys ABC. Same gym as the booth brothers.

Pro. Graham already had that style before he went to Ingle. Brendan used Herol as the template.

The English squad deciders wouldn’t pick Graham (or later Benn) for internationals (because of their different-to-norm styles).

About 13 or 14 I think. Roughly the same as Barry. Still kids

A trainer that gets always overlooked - so I will always champion - when it comes to great accolades is Ronnie Rush - two world champions pretty much from scratch professionally at least in a small gym. Two stylistically different fighters also - but he gets overlooked / forgotten about even in Wales.
