Felix Trinidad's dad and Shane Mosley's dad, telling them there ahead in there fights with Bernard Hopkins, Vernon Forrest 1, i mean what the hell seriously.

I didnt know Oscars corner told him to run. I just thought he got on his bike cuz he knew he had it in the bag so I voted for Hagler.

Another one I can think of is Margaritos corner telling him to take it to Shane Mosley.

Probably Noel Judah telling Zab to "hit him, bam bam bam, just hit him" or some utterly retarded sh#t like that.



EDIT: Sorry I wasn't paying attention; didn't know I had to pick a choice

Rahman's corner telling him to keep sticking his arms straight out, Lewis can't punch round/over them

Lewis vs Tyson- Ronnie Shields telling Tyson to start throwing punches at Lewis. If thats all it takes then I want to be a trainer.

LoooooooooooooooooooooL!!!!!!!

Is that True?! IS that why his arms were out like that when he got sparked?

LoooooooooooooooooooooL!!!! OMG too funny!!
What a mug!


I voted Hagler although there all hard to choose between as you can debate that the advice given had some substance behind it.

I mean
* Dela Hoya was clearly ahead before he started cruising, and still took the fight IMO.
* 'Maybe' Haglers trainer thought it best that Hagler should 'have a look' at Leonard for the first few rounds.
* Meldrick Taylor needed to stay assertive for the sake of keeping his will strong instead of resorting to survival mode. (IMO he barely survived that fight ).

I voted Hagler simply becuase 12 rounds was far to short and alien far Hagler to waste time.

McCall's people telling him to rematch Lewis instead of going to rehab. Epic failure.

It wasn't a mega fight but I remember in the Vitaly Klitschko/ Danny Williams fight Williams corner telling him in the 7th

"You got him now Danny, Just keep doing what your doing"

Just recently when Victor Ortiz's coach kept discouraging him.
