    Will Rob McCracken Become a Top Trainer?

    I watched McCracken as a novice pro. I remember his fight against Steve "the Viking" Foster & remember the Citeh v Brum barney.

    He seems so level headed but can he go on to be a great boxing trainer?

    He's done very well so far, hopefully some of the amateurs will do well this summer and then stick with him in their pro careers.

    I can't think of too many boxers that he's trained. I think he worked with Howard Eastman, also Tyson Fury but not for long enough for it to mean much.

      Rob McCraken will not be a Top trainer, He is a trainer for amateurs with the exception of Froch, He is intellectually challenged and completely lackluster he had no answers or advice when Froch was being systemically destroyed and dismantled by Kessler, He had no answer and was silent in the corner. I must admit I enjoyed watching Froch get beat simply to wipe that smug smile from McCrakens face.

      McCraken has also done a horrific job with the Amatuers, It was funny that he did not take Haroon Khan into the UK national team for the Commonwealth games only to see Khan who fought for Pakistan instead destroy Selby and take the Medal from the British team! The ultimate revenge?

      McCraken's failures will be further highlighted in the upcoming olympics, I only hope a fighter does not end up in a comatose state because of McCrakens lackluster and incompetentce.

      Overall McCraken is a ****** pig of a human who doesnt know the difference between amateur and professional boxing from the backside of a donkey. His treatment of Khan is unforgivable and he should be punished severely for his institutionalized racism and error of judgment, I have no qualms in saying I would love to see McCraken in the gutter so I can give him a good kick in the teeth and stamp all over his already battered ego and broken British bones.

        As it is Mccracken gets quite underrated IMO. He has done a great job with Froch.

          Destroy him? He won on countback and was robbed. Harroon Khan was not picked for the commonwealth games because he had won nothing to earn a spot. Being someones brother doesnt give you a spot on the team.

            To be considered a great trainer you have to take more than one fighter to the top levels.

            So far he has Froch.
