    barry mcguigan, while he was filming gladiators in brum. i've been assured since he's a thoroughly personable bloke, he wasn't that night!

    Wow you have a great boxing trainer! I knew Margarito would be awesome in real life, such a fun guy, but unbelievably tough

    Tommy Hearns
    Mike Tyson
    Paul Williams and all of his opponents (Margo, Quintana, Cintron, Martinez, Winky)
    Andre Berto
    Chris Arreola
    Andre Ward
    Sergio Mora
    Vernon Forrest
    Zab Judah
    Floyd Mayweather
    Bernard Hopkins
    Lennox Lewis


    Lennox, PW and Arreola are probably the funniest and friendliest.
    Hop is a professor of the sport, never hesitating to share his insights.
    Floyd seems like he's overcompensating for being naturally shy.
    Zab and Margarito are the realest.
    But all in all, I have to say Cintron is DEFINITELY the coolest to be around.

    :good Fighters don't always make good trainers... But Hop is definitely one that would. I think he is naturally a person who likes to share information. You can stop him on the street anywhere anytime and ask him anything technical about the sport, and he's the type of guy who will take off his jacket and start demonstrating for as long as you wanna talk to him. :lol:
