Where does Nazim Richardson's reputation come from?

who's nazim richardson?

 

Seriously?

 

Nazim just knows his ****. He loves boxing and would basically train and teach for free. He had his 3 sons boxing before they could walk. He knows every fighter's style and knows how to expose them. Right now he is top 3 of the best trainers in the game. Before long, he'll stand alone as the best

 

no doubt. Nazim is up there with Roger when it comes to breaking boxing down.

 

Lol yeah Roger is the man too. I loved how one of his comments on Ricky Hatton involved drowning him with piranhas, and about him coming out ****ed up. Can't remember the exact words, but he got his point across very well

 

:deal

lets also not forget the amateurs he trains, he is very involved in the amateurs.

plus i've heard Freddie Roach AND floyd sr say good things about him 5 or 6 years ago, when he was only an assistant trainer.

you dont get props by those guys unless you're good.

 

has he ever spoken to you, if so what did he say?

 

Outside of just saying hi and friendly words, not really.

Although he's said a few things I thought were buddha-esque...not to quote him exactly but:

"Boxing is like a jealous wife, waiting for you on the corner. If you're cheating on her...she isn't just going to get you back immediately...she's going to wait til you're on HBO, in front of the whole world to stick it to your ass!"

And I remember him telling some fighter "You need to be like a Jehovah's witness...once you get that foot in the door, you're in!" I don't know what that meant, but I think it had to do with either footwork or pressuring a fighter.
