Amir Khan needs to learn the art of defence.
He's made a start. Oliver Harrison might have been a good guy but Amir was in danger of coming one of those left hand low fighters and he can't afford to be he hasn't got the chin it would seem.
Yep. But as I've said a lot of times: He didn't spar up to this fight and his hand was broken. Of course he hasn't used that as an excuse in public. It's only me........
Maybe so, but stylistically Kessler's limitations were on full display against Calzaghe. There were literally dozens of times Mikkel could have absolutely crushed Calzaghe with counter punches. Kessler has the timing, athletics, power, and speed to execute - but not the wear-with-all.
I think Cintron should have Mayweather Sr. to train him...He will bring out a beast in Cintron(just my opinion) Love him or hate Floyd Mayweather Sr. is a damn good trainer..He always seem to have that extra motivation to bring the best out of a fighter. I seriously think Mayweather and Cintron would be a good pair...He would make Cintron a better fighter IMO.
That's a shame. The Calzaghe fight should have been a wake up call.

Ageed. But he wont. He has emphatically stated that Richard Olsen is with him till his career's over.

Since I already spoiled it yesterday; Mikkel Kessler. Hands down. He's got fantastic althletic ability and too much emphasis in certain areas.

The biggest one is Tito Trinidad no question, he had all the potential to be an all time great. But it was limited by his dad who only relied on his power and didn't have the knowledge to help Tito evolve into a much more complete fighter.
It doesn't get said enough, agreed.

I truly believe the guy that would benefit most from getting a good new trainer is Katsidis. I harp on about it quite a lot but I have just never seen someone so desperately in need of a good trainer that would tell him just a few small things during a fight that would win them for him.
A trainer is not only there to better the fighter in training but they are there to give a fighter advice that the fighter themselves may not be seeing or realising during a fight. Katsidis' trainer is the worst trainer I've ever seen during a fight. Toward the end of the Casa fight I did not hear the trainer once mention that he should stop headhunting and start going back to the body attack which would have easily won him the fight.
Katsidis is inexperienced and in the biggest fight of his career and coming back from two knockdowns to start winning the fight. He starts losing his winning game plan. What would be the first thing any decent trainer would say when they see his fighter moving away from the winning game plan and starting to lose the momentum? It's pretty f*cking obvious isn't it? Instead, all I heard was "You're doing good Mik, keep it up mate, keep it up!"
I was actually screaming my head off around the eighth, ninth, and tenth rounds, going berserk at the trainer because I've never seen such an obvious winning tactic in a fight that was completely and utterly ignored by not only the fighter, which is slightly understandable in his biggest fight, but by the trainer who is there to do just what he didn't and it lost him the fight!!!
He could rule the lightweight division for the next while with a good trainer and I really do believe that. He's fast, has great stamina and power with a huge heart, but, he is in need of some better defense and good advice during a fight. In his two last fights the trainer has made a damn ass of himself and with the right trainer Kats could go a long way!
Aces, Benny. :fing02:
jcc jr & omar chavez. someone needs to show paulie malinaggi how to throw some power. johnny tapia's son, great genes, get him a good trainer and he'll take over

List all fighters who apply. :fing02:
wladimir looks awful with emmanuel steward.
i know he has stamina problems due to his size and he has to conserve himself but i used to like him more before he hooked up with emmanuel.
the guy has great boxing skills for someone of his size and he has excellent power , he need to use it more. no reason to fight the way he did against sultan and he just looked so scared sometimes during the peter fight. his chin is not as bad as people think. it's not good either but it's okay.
