Mall and spence will lose this year he ain't going to be trainer of the year this year that's for sure

Good

No point spreading himself too thin and training dozens of fighters. Everyone he currently has is A or B grade anyway.

Jermall? Did Jermall leave Ronnie Shields???

I can’t think of any trainer in recent times that had so many big fights lined up. Crawford-Spence, charlo-canelo, and hopefully Joshua-wilder. He’s been a great coach for a long time. Glad he’s getting the spotlight he deserves.

Hell, can’t blame him as life is about trying to get to enjoy the fruits of your labor and he didn’t make it financially as a boxer, but look at God! He’s a trainer of financially blessed fighters and the rewards have been for filling and now I’m out after these fighters are done so I can enjoy the fruits of these fighters labor and my coaches efforts and mentorship. Bye y’all

Martin will face Artem Harutyunyan on July 15, Spence will fight Terence Crawford on July 29, Joshua is slated for a rematch against Dillian Whyte on August 12, and Jermell Charlo will be fighting Canelo Alvarez on September 30 in a battle between undisputed champions.

Of these fights and fighters he is on the record for saying repeatedly that Terence 'Bud' Crawford has fought nobody, in spite of his credentials, and WILL be a walk over for his fighter Errol 'the tooth' Spence.

So I am surprise that Crawford made this list.
