Examples,why sure.
Roach-Has taken on too many fighters, and spends alot time with his Title promotional deal,you really think your getting his best?
McGirt-Has alot of fighters,but have you ever notice alot of them end up kissing canvas in big fights
Fraziers-Style is better suited to shorter fighters

Theres an old Texas saying that fits here,"You gotta dance with them what brung ya"
i hear ya TM. This was more the response i was seeking. You make a good point though. I had it in my head that the better the fighter, the better the trainer. What do say though about Mccallum persay? Remember its all just speculation though..

And believe me Trainer Monkey, i take that saying to heart. Or these questions would not ever have arisen in my head or in this forum. I do hold the ones who first took me in, in high regards. So thats why, say if i ever left, it'd be quite the dilemma for me.[/quote]
I have to ask some serious questions, and ones you need to consider before I awnser.
How far do you think you are along?
What do you consider your strengths, what do you feel are your weakness's?It will give me a better Idea if thats the trainer you want for yourself.
Just because its a name trainer,doesnt make it a good fit
Has the phrase "exclusive contract" come up yet?
How do you think your current trainer is going to react? This is a very serious one,because you want to avoid burning bridges.
Take your time and think those questions through a bit
