    There's a difference between coaching and puppetry. Just because a fighter doesn't do something doesn't mean he hasn't been coached to do so.

    With Wlad, for instance, I think he completely runs his own camps. He's probably beyond suggestibility at this point. He's going to do things his way and it doesn't matter who's there to train him, they're doing what they're told rather than the other way around.

    I've been around pros and amateurs in the gym (and trained a fair few myself) and sometimes people are uncoachable. You can tell them "if you don't carry your left hand higher, you're going to get knocked out by a right hand" and show them and drill on it and some of them get in the actual fight and continue to drop the hand. ANd so on and so on. And every boxer has physical limitations that no amount of coaching can change.

      You're absolutely right. I had forgotten about that.

        Possibly Wilder bc he has not improved at all for a 6'7 guy with power and it shows in his fights . He Wont do that bc he himself is on if its not broke dont fix it mind set . Once it breaks?

        Lennox Lewis switched trainers after only 19 fights when he was dissatisfied with one performance , Holyfield and Tyson too many times et ,etc .....if someone needs a new trainer its this guy bc reach and power isnt always going to come through ,eventually everyone fights a true relevant fighter who will preparared to off seat you ,the questioni is will you if your satisfied bc nothings broke ?

        If Parker cant defeat Fury convincingly or without contraversy he needs another trainer too.

          Some others:

          Joseph Parker
          Joe Smith Jr.
          Roman Gonzalez
          Don't forget Kovalev or does he need Alex Arriza or Memo Hernandez for stamina

            Kovalev doesn't like to listen to his trainers, according to Abel Sanchez.
