You hit the nail on the head, F. VERY BIG FACTOR! Too many times to count have i seen great fighters livid (actually saw three cornermen have to drag Willie Pep off a heavyweight he was kicking and punching) because the boxers they're training can't do (or learn) what they did naturally. I'll throw a name in that may surprise: Lyala Mcarter (sp) She's a brilliant tactician and an excellent communicator as a trainer. Watched her work with young fighters in Vegas. Had she been a big puncher, she'd 've given female boxing real credibility.
with all seriousness i think cotto would be a good trainer or james toney just cause i love his style there are not many people with that style left he could keep it alive
