< Fritz Sdunek, underrated as a trainer >

[JazMerkin]

Don't know much about him, but any guy who's trained that many champs must be pretty good, although having a load of champs is a bit easier than it was in the time of Arcel or Dundee as I'm sure Enzo Calzaghe can attest to

Perhaps a bit easier, especially as there is more boxers around but the guy's doing a great job, as I stated, we just don't hear much about him because he works a lot with Universium and european fighters.

He's one of the best trainers in the business.

I remember reading in Ring Mag a few years ago when they mentioned the top trainers in the game they said Sdunek often gets criticized because the fighters he gets are already good when he gets them. But the writer also said at that (championship) level you can't fake being a good trainer.

He's good but he has been handed the best talent from the former Soviet states

Perhaps but once again, most of the good trainers get handed the best boxers either by promotional companies or they just go and pick them up.

Well a lot of trainers here are handed talent from the amateurs also.

It's different once your in the pros.

I think Wladimir has done better with Manny than he did with Sdunek...he was really raw under Fritz and routinely gave up his height and reach advantages vs smaller fighters.

I do think Dimitrenko (a Sdunek trained fighter) is a very good contender and if he's fighting Eddie Chambers then I predict a fight similar to Wlad-Byrd I & II.

Fritz is probably the best trainer from Europe/Russia...he's hands down better than Enzo.
