Worst Trainers

[littlebif]

I will start the ball rolling with Pepe Corea who used to train Lennox Lewis but made his name as SRL trainer at the end of his carrer.


He told Lewis at the end of round 1 of his fight with McCall "knock this bum out" then Lewis left himself open and got KOed.

I like that 1 bet Lewis thanked him for that advice.

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.

I watched for a while old Pepe undoing all the good work John Davenport had done. It was cringeworthy. SPX made the Best Trainers ever one off my Lads was Sponsored by them, My feet have never been so comfortable, not paying was a Bonus.

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'm not saying he's a bad trainer but some of Teddy Atlas' corner tactics are questionable!

I thought he done well in the corner the night Moorer won the hw title(if that is what you are refering to),he brought the best out of his fighter.thats what being a good trainer is all about.

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.

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.

[El Kabong]

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

Brian Viloria has done well.
Gerry Penalosa has done fine.
Israel is wildcard trained.
