What current boxer would you want as your trainer?

"Hey guy, No Max... Be ready guys, Punch good, Drama show, respect, business, Max, I'm serious, respect"... repeat.

 

This may sound weird but I'd want Maidana as my coach. I love the way he can throw awkward power punches from every angle. I also really enjoy his fighting style.

 

Dustin Nichols.
Would eat and drink very well.

Will come in grossly overweight for my fight but win with my new secret weapon;
The "check jab"

 

it's the fighters with experience (preferably both pro and amateur) you'd want to be training you.

The likes of Golovkin, Ward, Mayweather and Pacquiao will teach you a lot more than someone like Canelo. Why? Because they have skills that they take from both sides of the sport.

I saw a video of golovkin teaching sullivan barrera how to box in clinch, I knew the way ggg was talking he will make a good trainer some day.

Mayweather is the type of guy who would keep all the knowledge to himself. He wants fighters to good, but not as good as him.

Pacquiao would be a great teacher, I remember watching HBO 24/7 and pac showing his sparring partners how he was catching them with good body shots with a certain style of uppercut.

Ward i'm not so sure about. He seems like a very very intelligent person, but would he make a good trainer I'm not sure because I haven't really seen him give any boxing advice to anyone.

 

If that's the case then you'd want say Cotto over Pacquiao. Pacquiao only had 64 amateur fights before going pro compared to Cotto's 148, Mayweather's 90, Ward 120, Golovkin 350.

The interesting thing about amateur vs pro experience is that usually when guys have a ton of one they have very little of the other. Duran 16 and Chavez 15 had very few amateur fights but many pro fights while Whitaker 214 and Aaron Pryor 220 had many amateur fights and few pro fights. Leonard had 170 to Haglers 56 and so forth.

 

I only named a few who i saw as potentially good trainers. of course cotto could be a great trainer too, a warrior he is and also very experienced

 

Good question. Maybe Marquez or Akira Yaegashi. He seems to know what's up.

 

Juan Manuel Marquez, he isn't as athletic as other fighters, just a well schooled guy, i see his ****ysis in golpe a golpe every week, the guy knows his craft.

 

I was saying that back in 2008. If athleticism and size were all equal between Pac, May, and Juan, then Juan would beat them both. His problem was that he just was not as fast or strong as either of them. Except for that one time, which made things look real suspicious.

Juan's real secret to success was Nacho though. Nacho is a way better trainer than Freddie Roach or Roger Mayweather. I don't think Pac or May really needed Freddie or Roger because like you said they were already ridiculous athletes. They would have been fine with any number of other trainers. But Marquez needed Nacho. Nacho could bring out great things in fighters, tinker with them and make them better. Where other trainers find talents, he would make them. Roger and Freddie never developed any other great pupils like Nacho did with Lopez or Zaragoza.

 

On top of being a garbage poster you also missed out on the humor gene.

 

Tyson Fury!

I probably won't learn much, but gym and training camps would be a blast, with grilled hedgehogs for lunch and smoked bore for supper.

 

Either way, Floyd cannot be a trainer because to be trainer , one has to be able to read and write...

 

Until you immediately lose because you never actually "trained" :rofl

 

I'd like to fight like Toney but let's face it, he'd make a horrible trainer. In answer to the question I'm gonna go with JMM. Shout out to B-Hop though.

 

Nathan Cleverley would probably make a decent trainer.
