Williams' corner: WORST in HISTORY!

Was I the only one who noticed how awful Danny Williams' cornermen were last night? 3 voices at once, between every single round, and none of those voices contained any meaningful dialogue. That looked like a lousy little league coaching staff, not one that should be assembled for a heavyweight championship fight. Sterling McPherson is known worldwide as the most useless trainer in the business, and he proved it again last night as he was hollering pointless instructions into Danny's ear between every round. Horrible teamwork by "Team Williams." They deserved to get humiliated.

Maybe it would have. Let's say Rahman wins the vacant belt, then Don King has all 4 and it's no big deal to unify the belts because he's the only promoter with a HW belt...

I remember seeing the reasons, but haven't heard any follow ups. I suppose he had to fulfill his obligations. Like i've said before, I'm glad VK won.. imagine if DW won, then retired.. that wouldn't help the status of the hw division :)

His strong religious convictions won't allow him to continue boxing. Of course, he converted pre-Tyson and he's gone ahead and "compromised his morals" for 2 PPV checks...

It is pretty sad, but atleast he won't have to worry about his corner anymore, especially since he's retiring..

Their best motivational tactic was telling him "your kids are watching this!"

I'll bet nothing said would have helped.. that is if what I think happened happened... i'll bet VK's corner told him that DW personally poisoned Yushchenko. LOL :D

definately a bad corner, but not the worst that title still belongs to Tyson's homies in Tokyo! I was almost wondering if that black guy in Danny's corner was under the impression that yelling at his eye would stop the swelling, cause he sure as hell wasn't using that enswell enough!

I think the worst was the "Don't quit Danny!!!! Oh my God, don't quit!!!" like what the hell kind of thing is that to say to keep a fighter's confidence up?? Awful stuff.

I am sure Danny's corner knows danny far better than any of you, guys. I have noticed that 90% of the talking was done by only one guy.

It didn't matter, Williams didn't have an effective gameplan against Klitschko anyway.

Who is Sterling McPherson? I've never seen that guy with Danny before in my life. His trainer was speaking instructions to him but Danny couldn't hear him. I particularly hated McPherson's "Your children are watching this." Danny's not the sort of fighter you "pump up", it achieves the opposite effect. ....I brought up this very thing in an earlier thread and I think you guys are absolutely right!!!

I dont blame the corner, i agree they were very poor but Williams wouldnt have taken any advice regardless of how good it was. Williams was a zombie and i'm suprised he knew when to start a new round!!
