Fighters you would have liked to become trainers

Mike Tyson appears to have a wealth of boxing knowledge but it’s would probably depend on whether he would have the patience and temperament to teach and pass it on to budding fighters. I can see a lot of young fighters been intimidated by having Tyson as a trainer especially if they can’t follow or carry out his instructions and teachings.

 

Two Ton Tony Galento trainer, for the boxer who has a aversion to roadwork, dieting and the Marquess of Queensberry rules.

 

Tyson Fuuuuuuurrrrrrryyyyyyyyy.

 

Jimmy Young, Saul Mamby

 

James Toney or Steve Forbes. We need to keep the style alive.

 

Chris Eubank, he was and expert on the philosophy of boxing.

 

Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield.
Wlad Klitschko

 

BUMP.

JMM seems like he has the temperament, offensive , defensive knowledge and would garner respect.

I think the Drunken Master Emanual Augustus would create an atmosphere to train hard and then clown the opponent come showtime. He had a lot of stamina, so I think he'd ensure his fighter has superior wind. He's great on how to get inside an opponent. To calm any nerves..whereas a Tyson type trainer would add to the tensity- Drunken Warrior I think could motivate a fighter if they're down on the score cards or cut.

King of motivation as a trainer? Shannon Briggs, knows when to cycle out the PEDS.... I can hear his big azz mouth 8 rows away telling his fighter, LET'S GO CHAMP!

 

I think guys who fell just short of greatness would make good trainers. Examples include:

Oba Carr...surely learned valuable lessons from his losses to Quartey, Trinidad, and ODH that he could pass on to his fighters.

Montell Griffin...spent time with Eddie Futch.

Reggie Johnson...solid technician.

John John Molina...savvy professional with a good work ethic.

Rocky Juarez...likely someone who could inspire fighters to push past their limits, based on his own shortcomings.

Zack Padilla...I’m sure his conditioning program alone could lead to a few wins.

Troy Dorsey...same as Padilla.

 

I think that Zack Padilla is doing some training, in either Duarte or Azusa, CA. Maybe both, and he looks like he ate the old Zack Padilla.

Rocky Juarez has a gym in Houston. In fact, he bought the gym he started out in. I have friends that are close with him, though I don't know him myself.

Ricardo Lopez had one guy that sparred with him throughout his career; this guy was something like 1-2 in his own career and had a bad problem with alcohol. He quit drinking and has had a gym in Texas for several years. He is a very good trainer and is well respected.

 

Sounds like my type of guy,

 

Ritchie Woodall (Helps amateurs but not a pro coach)

Nassem Hammed

Butterbean ( that would be a project and a half)

Lets remember not everybody can coach and not everybody enjoys doing it Look at the good coaches who did not do that well as fighters
