    No.

    None.

    What a bizarre question.

    At least it was original, I'll give you that.

    Wouldn't shoot him down if he decided to take a shot at it.

    You can't tell me he wouldn't be an at least average trainer. No one will have the movement that tyson did, but he could at least clean up the divison a bit... I'm tired of the Klits running over every heavyweight, so your idea is as good as anyone's I guess. :shock:

    Best man to have in your corner if someone decides to low blow you.

    He would be horrible. Being a trainer requires some measure of stability and leadership.

    He's too much of a "celebrity" or the center of his own universe to be able to give his best focus to making somebody else the top dog.

    Feel that way about James Toney as a trainer too. It'd be great to get that knowledge and ability scooped out and passed on to somebody, but the mechanism's not there.

    He certainly has some wisdom to give, but he doesn't seem like the patient type.

    Which leads to the question have any truly great boxers become great trainers?
