    Just because you are good at something, doesn’t mean you can teach it.

    Hopkins and JMM would seem like the obvious answers because of their understanding of the fundamentals.

    Neither one relies on speed, power etc - they use intelligence, counter-punching and strategy.

    Andy Lee seems like a pretty level headed guy with good pro and am experience and years as a great friend of the great Emmanuel Steward. Might make a decent trainer.

    I could see Timothy Bradley doing potentially well as a trainer too: huge dedication to training etc, great experience as a fighter and not too big a personality either

    Probably though some just-below-world-class boxer not very widely known perhaps and maybe

    Often the top fighters are never going to be great trainers, i think Bhop is a bit too hot headed to make a great trainer, Paulie ye i could see him being decent. Andy Lee is a good shout the guy is smart and level headed and was under the best trainer ever for years could well make a great trainer.
