Have you noticed that a lot of the top trainers are not training heavyweights?

Where is Freddie Roach, Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, Nazim Richardson, Floyd Mayweather Sr, etc? No wonder a lot of these heavyweights lack word class caliber skills. A lot of these heavyweights don't have a good team or a solid trainer. I know Floyd Mayweather Sr. would be blasting Chris Arreola.

I'd like to see Roach train Haye. Maybe he can teach him some head movement and defensive skills.

Well that will give young trainers to make a name for themselves in the mean time!!! But it does seem bad doesnt it!!!

My guess why is maybe they just wanna go to Mcdonalds only 1 time every 2 weeks. Not 4 times every week.

Good point. Arreola's trainer is about his age, obviously not fit to be training a fighter in Arreola's stage of his career. Maybe that's why he is so fat. World class trainers would set him straight.

Ronnie Shields is training Adamek. Lets see what Adamek brings to the table against Arreola.

And when did they ever? There are only a handful of trainers who specialised on heavies and most of them are either dead or too old. I would like to see Eddie Mustafah Muhammad working with Eddie Chambers.

Teddy Atlas is training Povetkin and Emmanuel Steward is traing Klitschko(or however you spell it) I wouldn't call Atlus a top trainer, but at least he's making sure Povetkin is disciplined, something most heavyweight trainers do not do.

I was going to say that Freddie Roach trains Lateef Kayode, an 11(10)-0 prospect from Nigeria, but it looks like he's fighting at CW these days. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_J720VejG3vI/SjXQaFxDDVI/AAAAAAAAABQ/Ulll0VMARBw/S220/Freddie:Lateef:RING+photo.jpeg
