    And why?

    For whatever reason, whether you believe they're extremely talented, smart, or just suit you personally. Who would you pick?

    And they have to be active, so someone like Pacquiao still counts, but Floyd doesn't.

    Andre Ward or Paulie M. Both seem extremely knowledgeable and give astute ****ysis.

    Funny, I was leaning toward Paulie as well. He seems very intelligent and articulate. :good

    Yeah he seems very down to Earth and will just tell you like it is. I think he would be a great trainer, he could never rely on power so he would teach great fundamentals.

    Probably Billy Joe Saunders, because avoiding matches is way easier than all that learning and physical training.

    I was thinking that Malignaggi would be a good trainer too.

    Yep I think he should get into it that with his announcing on Showtime and he'll have a nice life after his retirement from the sport.

    The problem with great athletes like Loma is they always don't make the best trainers because things that come easy for them others just can't do and they have a hard time understanding this.

    Bernard Hopkins always gives fight tips in The Ring magazine so him training a fighter would be natural. B-Hop knows how to win, by any means.

    Hopkins, Mayweather, Marquez, Chocolatito, Salido, but probably Hopkins out of all of them, seems to know every aspect of the game, fighting inside and out, brawl, toe to toe, counter, even rough house tactics and sneak in a punch when the ref ain't seeing. He wasn't the most athletic yet still became a legend. Ducked no one.
