Re: If you were a pro boxer what trainer would you have in your corner??
Trainer- Eddie Futch (God)
Cutman- Whitey Bimstein (Experience second ton none)
Motivator- Ricky Haton (Woods v Johnson. " do you wanna go back to fucking plastering houses for £400 a week?)
Re: If you were a pro boxer what trainer would you have in your corner??
OF the current guys, I'd take Freddie Roach. His accent is music to my ears and he grew up one town away from where I live. He's very calm in the corner, and he doesn't give too much info, he give just the enough advice to keep you doing what you need to win. I train, and I know enough about my mentality in the ring that I need a focused, calming voice to keep me relaxed and focused on the right things. I would give a weeks pay for a few hours training with Freddie.

George Benton was actually the guy who trained Pernell and taught him all about defense. Duva was technically the chief second in Whitaker's corner, but Benton was the actual trainer/strategist.
Same thing with Meldrick Taylor, Holyfield... all those guys. Duva and Benton trained them, but Benton was the guy who did most of the teaching in the gym.

Would you think the same thing if you were Israel Vasquez. It was heard that Roach was saying before the 2nd fight with Marquez that he was slurring and shit. And that Israel wasn't ready....... ::**

booze,
Have you ever heared Israel talk in person recently?
Also Roachs concern was that after the surgery that Israel went through to repair his broken nose and the type of fight that he fought that the time that he gave himself to comeback was too soon and that he didn't want any part of it.
So what's wrong with that booze?
What's wrong with Roach looking out for a fighter?

I guess there is nothing wrong with it. Vas. just had the chance to make history and he did it. And no I haven't heard him [Vas] talking lately. Regardless of whether he is slurring or not if Roach is not part of the camp anymore I don't think it is any of his fucking business. If Roach didn't say any of these things subsequent to his leaving camp then I am misinformed (or took something out of context) and I apologize
I can understand where you are coming from though Mick.

No need to apologize booze, I just thought maybe you had seen recent footage of Israel talking or something and you felt he was OK.
Roachs main concern was after the 1st fight as he said he wouldn't part take in the rematch.

Emmanuel Steward. WQorld class trainer if nothing else.
4 weeks ago I saw a guy from my gym having just turned pro go spend two weeks with him. He came back in a lower weight division and with a whole new work ethic.
