What boxers you see becoming great trainers?

The biggest impasse greats have is not lack of communicating but frustration that their charges can't do what they did naturally.

 

JMM, Rigondeaux, Marquez, Mayweather, Golovkin, Ward, Froch, Zsolt Erdei, Klitschkos, Hopkins

 

Surprised that people are mentioning Floyd.

It's not just about understanding technical boxing -- good coaching is surely also about communication skills, patience, being able to put your own ego aside, etc. Not sure if I can see Mayweather working as a trainer, although someone like Floyd Sr has had some success, so maybe he can.

I think Marquez might make for a good trainer.

 

smh at some of these names.

A trainer is a teacher. He must be willing to share his knowledge. He has to learn all the fundamentals and not always relied on physical ability. He has to put his ego to the side and allow someone to flourish. He has to be patient, not be the center of attention and has the patience to train someone even if they're not talented.

That's why Jonathan Banks is ahead of the pack. Floyd? LOL. He's the last guy to be a good trainer. Guys like Kessler, Wladimir Klitschko, Tony Thompson, BJ Flores, Zsolt Erdei, Miguel Cotto, Golovkin, Hopkins and perhaps Ward would make good trainers.

Guys like Donaire, Martinez, Mayweather and David Haye would be awful trainers. They don't have patience. They always put themselves first and they lack maturity.
