    CITA2 you're comments in this thread make you seem to be a very immature, naive, little BOY. Oh wait, that's what you are .

    I don't need to improve myself to a teenager like yourself. I'll ask you this one thing however: How would you know if Dan Birmingham is a good trainer? What makes Birmingham better then trainers like John Scully, or trainers for athletes that you have never heard of before. Winky Wright and Jeff Lacy were both very successful amateurs. Who are you to say that Dan Birmingham is the best trainer just because He is winning because He has two great fighters on his hands.

    I have heard/seen Dan Birmingham's training between rounds and it is shoddy. He does not give advice on some weaknesses/flaws on his opponent rather He seems to motivate.

    Joe Frazier once said that a great fighter makes a great trainer. Trainers today have no expertise when we're talking experience in the ring at a HIGH level with the exception of a few. The problem with boxing today is that most trainers are fitness guru's/motivational speakers. The majority of these guys don't have GENERATIONS of knowledge passed down like the greats had.

    The power of christ compells you!

      Nice essay, why don't u give me a full book next time. But u don't have too prove yourself right?

      Bottom line is, if u don't think Birmingham is a good trainer than u have no clue. U don't have a clue, period. Why would world class fighters like Lacy and Wright have Birmingham in their corners and train them for fights if he wasn't a legit, top notch trainer?

      Oh and btw, the motivational speaker/fitness guru is one of the years if not the years top trainer.

        To the media, maybe.

        I suggest you not believe everything you read and hear about. Just because an "expert" says it, doesn't necessarily make it right.

        You don't have a clue, son.

          And u do I suppose, pops? So these experts are universally wrong?

          Why don't u give me an example of "bad advice" that was given to either Lacy or Wright from Birmingham. Point out a specific instance in which he gave his fighters bad advice.

              What did he say that wasn't constructive? Wright is a veteran and Birmingham doesn't need to be lecturing him in the corner about how too fight. Birmingham gets Wright in shape, they devleop a strategy, and than they go fight. Birmingham points out things that Wright should do, and he goes and does it.

              I have seen the fight twice, and I can't think of anything that wasn't constructive, can u?
