    Everyone forgetting Pedro Diaz. Traininer of gold medalists and currently Rigondeaux. Also saw better movement from Cotto under him.

    What's the name of the guys who train the Cuban and Kazakhstan teams in the amateurs? Those guys consistently kick everyone's asses. Them, Nacho, Roach, Garcia, probably the Kameda bros father, and some unknown Thai.

    Shiro Kameda interesting mention
    Not sure why a Thai would be better than Shingo Inoue or Mr Nakade

    I just think the lower weight classes get missed and there's probably some Korean, Thai, or Japanese guy doing great things but not getting any credit from a western audience. I don't really have anybody in particular in mind. We've had a bunch of Japanese and Thai champs in the lower weight classes but nobody ever mentions who trained them. I think it would be nice to know if the guys who trained Fighting Harada might have also had a hand with anyone else. A little searching and we might turn up the Japanese Ray Arcel, who's behind Yoko Gushiken and Jiro Watanabe or something. Someone had to train Pongsaklek Wonjongkam and Khaosai Galaxy.

    I just tossed out the Kameda bros dad because three of his sons had some good success in the boxing world. All three of them have won titles haven't they? If the Mayweather's get mentioned on the basis of one son then this guy deserves a nod too, doesn't he?

    At the moment the Korean fight scene and the Indonesian fight scene are dead, so lets ignore them.

    Thailand I can't name any trainers from, which I'm disappointed by. For Japan however-
    Shingo Inoue (Naoya and Takuma Inoue's trainer)
    Hiroaki Nakade (Katsunari Takayama)
    Koji Matsumoto (Akira Yaegashi, and others at the Ohashi stable)
    Yūichi Kasai (Shimoda, Igarashi, Miura)
    Mr Ioka (Kazuto Ioka, Ryo Miayzaki, Sho Ishida)

    Not sure which trainers are at the Watanabe gym (Uchiyama, Kono and Taguchi)

    I was really impressed when I watched the24/7 footage of his training methods with cotto, it was so scientific and measured, also appreciated the improvements he made with cotto with movement and stamina. I'm curious though if cotto will flourish more under roach than Diaz, and what roach changed. Against Martinez his movement was good, but he seemed less on his toes and bouncy.

    DB is great but the reason I put Anber on my list is I watched an instructional video he made on the left hook and he briefly covered a very subtle but very important detail in that particular punch most trainers fail to communicate.
