I for one think Buddy's an excellent trainer its just that he trains a lot of B- fighters and they sometimes lose when they step up to fight A-fighters. Unfairly the loses his fighters suffer are sometimes blamed on him and he is called a bad trainer for his fighters losing. Remember he resurrected Gatti's career and if it was not for Buddy Gatti would not have had a 2nd half to his career. He also engineered Roy Jones 1st (real loss) loss to Tarver.
Buddy has had to throw in the towel more than a few times for his fighters. One question I wanted to pose was does anyone think that Buddy is doing this prematurely and since he is a former fighter he is too worried almost to the point of being a bit paranoid that his fighter might get severely hurt if he does not stip the fight. Here is a list of fights as a trainer that Buddy stopped: Gatti vs Mayweather (I thought was a good stoppage) Hatton vs Malignaggi, Martinez vs Macklin, Lamont Brewster vs Wladimir Klitschko, Gatti vs Badlomir. Malignaggi fired Buddy for stopping the fight and Macklin said he could have continued and wanted to continue. There may be a few more, but I will leave to anyone else who wants to comment and maybe add a fight that I may have missed. My opinion is he is just unlucky and he has been forced more often than not to stop the fight on behalf of his fighters. Any thoughts?
