Comments Thread For: Hearn Won't Rush Anthony Joshua To Fury, Haye Bouts

[yoz]

Who has Adam Booth trained? I'm just curious.

To be fair to booth, he's very selective in who he works with, he doesn't ever have a lot of fighters like some trainers.

He did train Haye who is a 2 weight world champ and the only man to be Cruiserweight and Heavyweight champ since Holyfield. Not bad. Currently has Andy Lee who is a champion and Eubank Jr. who is now mandatory for Jacobs. The he had Groves who is no bum but just short of world level i think but he was better with Booth i think.

So i wouldn't say he's trained a lot of good fighters but he does not train many at all anyway, and those he does train full time seem to do pretty well.

The issue with Booth's fighters, though, is the absence roadwork. Haye and Groves were so similarly styled - all about fighting in short, explosive bursts. The same looks to be the case with Eubank Jr.

Joshua should steer clear, IMO.
