    Archie Moore just to absorb all that wisdom.

    I’d learn a lot about boxing but even more about life.

    (Plus I’m really old and he understood that part and how to make the most of an aging body and utilize the mental part of the game.)

    There's a fair few who I would love to train under. I'm good on the front foot and at cutting off the ring, so trainers like Arnulfo Obando (Roman Gonzalez's trainer), Romulo Quiarte (trainer to JCC), and Abel Sanchez would be good fits for a guy like me who relies on closing distance. I feel like I'd love training up at Big Bear and the routine of training they have up there. Rudy Perez as well, it would have been an immense honour to have trained under him.

    Jack Hurley. Whitey Bimstein. Freddie Brown. Cuyo Hernandez and Nacho Beristein.
    I've been in gyms with Abel Sanchez, Manny Robles, Tony Cerda, Jack Mosley. I have been around some very good trainers that have been around a long time and really know the game. My partner in this boxing game has trained an Olympian, a Pan American games winner and 3 world champions and you wouldn't recognize his name if I told you.
