Hey,

I’m intrigued in hearing what everyone else thinks….out of these two who is the better coach out of these two trainers.

Of course Bo took Crawford to a win over Spence Jr and James but I think that result would have been the same no matter who spence had in his corner.

I’m split 50/50 the only thing is I think that BoMacs only real claim to fame to Crawford whereas James has had more success with notable names

let’s have a debate…
 
No way of telling unless you trained under both guys or both guys at one time shared a common fighter & it's still as trivial of an opinion as it comes.

Keyshawn Davis is also under Bomac. He is a top fighter and has potential to beat ALL the names below 147. Hes going to be avoided by Tank, Shakur, Haney, & Teo like the plague.

Also, it seems that Bomac doesn't want to take on all comers and fits Bud's tight circle theme.

Where as James seemed to spread himself too thin and lost a lot of top guys along the way.

- Ryan left multiple times but was forced to come back when the Reynosos said they were not having him or the other racist nut job Teo in a camp anywhere near a Canelo camp as a distraction.
Now he has this embarrassing loss to deal with as James was in his corner for the Rolly fight.

- Spence left after money/time disputes +an all time embarrassing loss. Many people criticized James' advice and lack of instruction in the corner when things got bad for Spence.

- AJ stayed short then left.

-Charlo seems to be retired but also has been heavily working with Juan Guzman for years. Plus he was already a pro when he left Ronnie Shields because he was upset that his brother got preferential treatment & Shields didn't believe Mell could develop to have more power than his brother Mall. The Canelo fight was embarrassing game plan and no adjustments maid. Mell was starting to get a cult push for P4P & put together a HOF run. His performance against Canelo basically took any hero momentum he earned and just soured his entire dark horse status. Lost all momentum.

- Not sure what happened to Martin but it was a pretty brutal loss too. Another one that had people jumping from the James bandwagon

So because Derrick wanted to work with so many fighters and capilize on his trainer of the year status....now he's going to have to deal with the flip side of everyone saying his fighters choke on the big stage and leave him.
Kind of unfair, but that's boxing.

Hard to compare because Bomac chose to play a long game and keep Bud happy and his stable small. Bud & Keyshawn are close so it's a good fit.
While Derrick chose to take all opportunities presented to him because they all were probably great money.
