    From the bolded, it's easy to see that you probably never touched a gym. Do you know how many fighters work countless hours in the gym to improve things that have been HL they're doing wrong?

    Getting rid of bad habits is incredibly hard, incredibly, even if you have someone pointing them out to you constantly. Turning Ricky Hatton to a slickster is impossible.

    Don't be a dunce and try to argue about something that you seem to think is so easy, it's far from it.

    I know exactly what im talking about.

    I have trained in a professional gym, thats on my kids lives to.

    Lots of fighters dont do countless hours trying to improve aspects of their technique, they spend hours conditioning themselves or gaining ring craft, timing and distance from sparring ect, actually some fighters neglect to work on their technique.


    Getting rid of bad habits is not hard if you make a conscious effort to put it right, however we dont know if Booth even knows what Haye is doing wrong to put it right.


    Turning Ricky Hatton to a slickster is impossible.


    That is pretty much what i said Lol.

    Its easy for me.

      He seems to be a good trainer as unlike so many he gives Haye some useful tactical advice when in the corner.

      Fixing all of Haye's flaws is not just up to him and he might not be the problem in the same way that Arreola's spare tires are not his trainer's problem to fix.

        Haye does not even do the simplistic things right, like rotating the body into the hooks sufficiently enough, thats why his hooks come from left field, he does not turn his body into the punch enough and so compensates to get his power by swinging wider.

          Let me tell you something, improving technically happens if you yourself, the fighter, really want to make it happen, that is why Hopkins improved from being a crude pressure fighter and why Toney went from having little amateur experience to being one of the most skilled technical fighters of all time, despite not working on his craft as long as some of these guys who have been fighting amateur since the ages of 7/8 and had long pro career's

          Your technique will not improve if what your trainer tells you goes in one ear out there other, its you!!! who changes it not the trainer, he just informs of what your doing wrong but it is his job to make you understand why you MUST!!! do it the way he is telling you and the pitfalls if you dont do that way.

Not to mention guide George Groves to the commonwealth title in just 9 fights.

            oh yeah, apart from all that, what the fcuk has he done? He's clearly a terrible trainer. You tit.
            damn.BEST comeback I have seen in a while

              He's a better manager & tactician then he is a trainer. He gives good advice and his managing of Hayes career has been brilliant so far.

              However as mentioned Hayes fundamentals are pretty poor, his defence can be very easily exploited, something that is also apparent with Groves as well.
