Ann Wolfe: Was She Overrated As a Trainer?

[FlatLine]

As far as I'm aware she only had some brief success with James Kirkland, although it should be noted that Kirkland never won a world title so really how successful was Ann as a trainer? Due to their turbulent relationship Kirkland ditched her several times.

Who else has Ann Wolfe trained and had any degree of success with?

She seems to have disappeared from the scene after the Kirkland vs Canelo fight. The last interview I saw with her was about 9 months ago where she claims that she's still Kirkland's manager (not his trainer), even though she later states that Kirkland fired her!?

Not sure if it's the case but I checked her gym on the Facebook page and it says "may be permanently closed". https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ann-W...57901110980466

Was Wolfe an overrated trainer afterall? Always the motivational speaker, with passionate words of wisdom, but the same could be said for Audley Harrison.

I always found it interesting that he pissed away his prime years in a jail cell and somehow, people decided the reason for his decline was switching trainers

I never heard of any successful fighter she trained except Kirkland who wasn't that successful either. Training one better than average fighter for a while doesn't make her a good trainer. Her training methods were strange and not the best. She was not a good trainer and we will probably never hear about her as a trainer any more. Kirkland quit using her as his trainer so what does that say?

She seemed like a good motivational coach but that's about it.

If anything she's a great strength and conditioning coach.

He seems to have left his punch resistance in jail. Whatever happened in there. Getting dropped by Ishida repeatedly. Getting knocked out cold by Canelo. Nobody gets knocked out cold by Canelo, it's usually a ref stoppage. Or someone paid to take a dive, like when Canelo KO'd Carlos Baldomir with Winning Gloves on. Yet Kirkland was laid out.

Back to the topic, Wolfe has no other boxers of note. Which there are many trainers like that. You have that one guy who has a little talent, heart, determination, will, etc, and you are able to mold him. If you look at Kirkland, he didn't have much skill. He seemed kind of crude. He was just a big country guy, who would be on that arse all fight, if you didn't have the power to keep him off of you. Also note that prior to going to jail, Kirkland hadn't beaten anybody. His best win being a guy that Carlos Quintana had already beaten a few years prior.

Wlad needs to get with Anne Wolfe

I think everybody rated her as an awful trainer who just happened to have good chemistry with Kirkland.

Shes what you call a great "beginner" trainer. Shes good for beginners that need to have fire set to their behinds but shes awful for professionals.
