Hopefully not. I also hope British Knights, Troop, Inter Sports(Hi Tec Copies) Dragon Beard, Bathing Ape and K Swiss have stopped or will no longer make trainers.Quote:

Yoel Judah, always tells Zab he's doing better than he actually is. That scumbag Panama Lewis.
Can't name one on top of my head but I think the worse trainers are those who just pump up a fighter in the corner without saying a single word of advise "Yeah champ! Uungh! Ya' know what I am saying?! Hell yeah! Unghh! Go get him boy!" acting like a gangsta' rapper. If I was winning I would still want to hear what I have to keep doing to get a victory and not just a guy pumping me up.
AARON SNOWELL....see any Tyson fight of the post Rooney-pre prison era.
No head movement, no combinations, no desire to be in the ring at all.....and all this time Snowell using a condom filled with water to stop swelling

I thought Atlas said the right things, but watching the fight in full, Moorer didn't really listen. In the rounds following his speeches, Moorer slept-walked again. I think Moorer was extra cautious because of the 2nd round KD, and knew how dangerous Holyfield could be when you hurt him.Quote:

Atlas is ridiculously overrated as a trainer. His track record isn't impressive. He gets this reputation as a great motivator, but I haven't seen it from his fighters. Moorer still slept-walked after Atlas begged him to fight harder.
Watching Moorer with Steward earlier, against Cooper, you saw him fight with heart and passion. Later on, in the Holyfield rematch, with Roach in the corner, Moorer fought his heart out. I didn't see this passion with Atlas.
Shannon Briggs basically fell apart with Atlas in the corner when he fought Darroll Wilson. It was with another trainer, when Briggs showed a ton of heart and desire when he lost to Lennox Lewis.
Aaron Snowell did a terrible job in Tokyo, but afterwards, he became a solid trainer. He trained Frankie Randall to his win over J.C. Chavez. He trained Julian Jackson to some title wins. He trained Tim Austin and had good success there.
Among former Mike Tyson trainers, it seems that Snowell gets the worst rap, while people always talk about how Tyson should've gotten back with Kevin Rooney (I agree, but it wasn't that Rooney was that good, it was just good chemistry), and Atlas gets too much credit for his one shining moment (which is overdramatized anyway).
Snowell has had the best success out of the 3, as he's done well with numerous fighters.
As to the subject, Oscar Suarez is pretty crappy.
Snowell was crap right from the start, there's no reason Tyson should have fought that piss poor vs Bruno....that's when Tyson got the crap rocked out of him for the first time as a pro
Panama Lewis
Buddy McGirt definitely. Freddie Roach would be if it wasn' t for Pacquiao. What other fighter he trained has won lately
ummmm Israel Vazquez won pretty big
I forgot about Vazquez. My bad
Brian Viloria has done well.Quote:
