Comments Thread For: Froch Shakes Head at Groves' Coach Use of Fitzpatrick

Irish trainers are intense in the corner.

Sure just like this Paddy Fitzpatrick dude writing a letter to the British boxing board about how he feels that Froch has taken too many shots to the head and that they need to look closely at the fight and that they should advise Froch to retire etc... Shady stuff...

Froch talking **** once again. You dont to have boxed for a world title to know how to train. Virgil hunter didnt box and he gave ward the gameplan to beat him. And hes high in demand unlike his trainer. If his trainer was so good he would taught froch how to box. How to get his left hand upto his chin so he stops eating right hands.

Froch is pretty stupid here. Quite often it helps not to have even participated in the sport because you can look at it objectively. Look at Jose Mourinho in Football (soccer), he played at a very very low level and essentially gained his knowledge as a language translator by working alongside the very best, now he's one of the best coaches out there. Some people have a great boxing brain but didn't have the natural athletic gift and ability to put it into practice themselves, so they are more suited to passing on the knowledge to others. Like in music, many of the songwriters are behind the scenes, they just didn't have the voice or presence to be the performer. I thought Froch was a bit smarter than this. He is thinking with such simplicity and with no logic here.

All you need to do is talk to Paddy for a couple of minutes and you know that he knows his stuff. Really top class bloke if you ever get the chance to meet him.

This makes no sense at all. I like froch but sometimes he speaks so much nonsense.

What did Freddie Roach amount to as a pro? Naazim Richardson, Emanuel Steward, Cus D'Amato and Eddie Futch never even boxed as pros let alone fight for world titles and McCraken doesn't even belong in that line up. False logic being applied by Froch that the higher you achieve as a pro the better you will be as a trainer. Buddy Mcgirt was a two division champion and as a trainer? Although the hats Paddy wear do annoy me for some odd reason. Bang on!!!!

Your'e spot on with this!....Angelo Dundee to the list.

But to be fair , Fitzpatrick learnt from the great trainers like Freddie roach. I don't think the trainer is an issue .

Groves is so calm and confident for a 26 yr old. He's seems like an exceptionally intelligent person. Love the line that he "just needs someone to hold his water".
