Lots of love and respect in that camp.I personaly think Enzos done a brilliant job, Hes evovled with Joe, great team.

Cus always had good backup with his fighters financialy there was a lot of money spent getting it right. There were a lot of failures, but when they got it right they were big succeses. Dundee had an easy job with Ali and Lenoard on first looking, but in theory it just might have been the hardest both great fighters with egos to match. Angelo handled it, probably doesnt get the credit He deserves.

There are coaches about who in their own way are just as good who never get the breaks, who never have the raw talent to work with. People in the game know who they are, there are a lot of great trainers in the Amatuer side who produce year in year out good fighters. They just love boxing and are happy doing what they do without reward or glory. There reward is spotting talent and nuturing it so it florishes. I take my hat off to these men Thank you

Funny you say that about Dundee..I was talking with someone the other day who was saying that If it wasnt for Ali and Leonard we wouldn't even know who he was...Also that he had an easy time because they were fighters with the talent already there...Tried to explain to him that trainers are just as important as the fighters if not more at times...( EG how many times did Dundee stall for time in Ali bouts..Self admittedly..Ripping gloves..distracting refs between rds ) a lot of people dont realize even though its bending the rules.. having a guy like that can mean the difference between a W or L...Dundee either gets praised or bashed..nothing in between
