Who is the best current trainer in the sport?

I think Tim Lane got left in China, Algieri did a sneaky and turned off Tim's alarm clock so he missed his fight. He better learn the language soon, he's gonna have to be training guys out there now. He's gotta make some money and get shelter too.

Yeah but he knew what was unfolding doe.

Absolutely. And this is what I think people don't get. We have some knowledgeable posters on this site, but the fact that we have Roach in the same neighborhood with Lane at this point of the poll is alarming to me.

And also, does Freddie have a cage? No. Didn't think so. I think there's some trolling going on as far as the poll is concerned.

You cannot underestimate the level of positive thinking Lane creates too. I heard that the moment that changed his life was when he watched the Black Knight scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. From that day forward he took the Black Knight's outlook as his philosophy to live by. Only positive thinking and reality be damned.

Tim Lane & Algieri seem to be practicing hypnoticism...hence all the weird talk about cage, round one & two, things are going fine etc etc. You let the fighter believe what YOU want them to believe. When he eventually lets Algieri out of the cage, Algieri is supposed to react like a tiger let loose. Will work for most opponents...not named PACQUIAO!

Too bad you mentioned "active", otherwise it would be a no-contest (Mickey Ward IS the greatest trainer of all time!

He trained Gatti and give him nice advice ("more left hook Arturo, more left hooks")!

its neck and neck between tim lane and freddie

[Slick_Rick]

Cutty........ I mean John David Jackson

[KidDinamita]

Tim didn't lose the key. Algieri's mom packed the key in his lunchbox, and then Algieri, because he had pre-fight jitters, left the lunchbox up in the hotel room. Otherwise Manny would have been asleep in round 10 once Tim was going to let him out.

hahaha Tim will remember from now on, if no key in hand, never leave the hotel room.

I would have voted for Naazim but he wasn't a choice. I voted for Nacho.
