    Don't think Klimov has quite what it takes to unseat the current titleholders.

              Or anywhere else. He does have an amateur arm-punching style (not necessarily European).

                Maybe Molina should have stayed with Goosen.

                Is it just me or is the Robert Garcia hype just that, hype.

                  many o the so -called great trainers of today are not that, Garcia, Roach primarily...over-rated brought to the top by 1 good guy then every average guy wants them...I 'd rather take Eddie mustafa nee Gregory, mayb Dan Birmingham(Winky Wright) or Louie Burke....of course there will never b another George Gainford, the greatest, IMO...if you don't know him, look him up...
