    I know many times great fighters dont make great trainers and average fighters sometimes make great fighters.

    I was just wondering since JMM is so well schooled and textbook he can maybe pass it on to future fighters.

    He can articulate well and seems dedicated to the sport. He is not blessed with anything overly impressive so it looks like he learned everything. I would say he could make a good trainer but you never know.

    Hmmm, could be. He's not an overly egotiscal man that would let his ego get in the way and he also has absolute mastery of the tecchical aspects of the sport. So if I were a betting man I'd say he'd probably make a prety good trainer. If not, a great one.

    You cant just learn counterpunching the way he does... The ability to almost get knocked down but still throw crazy takes heart,a strong mindset and lastly skill... But yeah hes a smart fighter that knows how to make moves like a chess player so yeah I say when he retires he could do that..

    Maybe not. He might get frustrated training someone who does not possess his natural gifts or his boxing intellect.

    He could end up being extremely frustrated by his protegees.

    You never know though.

    Yes, I feel he could become a great trainer, he is boxing 101 like Ricardo Lopez was.

    though this is, maybe, somewhat of an unusual vantage point from which to look at the question, i think that marquez would, most likely, be an excellent trainer because of his somewhat obsessive observational attention to the ways in which he feels he was screwed by judges perceptions, referee calls and so on in various fights in his own career. marquez has very clearly expanded his subjective, physical, personal understanding of the science of boxing into a larger, less personal, more objective, outside-looking-in understanding in order to evaluate and re-evaluate all the various gripes he has about his career and the game in general.

    don't get me wrong, i am not calling him a whiner. marquez is a terrific fighter--even now one of the best in the game--and an excellent man of his sport who had to be better for longer to get his moments to shine--and some of them have been troubled by questionable finalities. i think he deserved to come out on the short end or questionably even end of the decisions against pacquiao, john and norwood but, i admit, there was some room to complain in each case.

    i think juan manuel's personal narrative in the fight game and his reaction to it leaves him with the kind of perspective that would really work to serve efforts to give fighters he might train the right tools, the right emotional and personal conditioning to weather the storms of pugilism. in addition, marquez is a massively dedicated guy in all things and would, no doubt, stand by his fighters...in part, to defend them against the types of apparent screw-jobs he has endured so frustratedly in his time.

    ?? :patsch

    Everything he does as a boxer is impressive .

    The most successful trainers are in their forties and older and often former pro boxers with modest records . Hanging out in boxing gyms isn't exactly the classiest of career paths , many boxers have checkered backgrounds so you aren't working with people that you would like your sister to date. In any case JMM I doubt would want to spend his time working in some sweaty gym with people who you normally would not associate with and besides he has better things to do like spend all that money.

    Yep, he seems to have it all. I used to love Ricardo Lopez, "Boxing 101", they were both trained by Nacho, and they listened to him well.

    Great Fighters dont become great trainers, thats the trend...But with JMM, I think he will do good, but i dont think he wants to be a trainer when he retires, Im sure he will be rich as hell when the time comes..
