Who is your favorite trainer and why?

emanuel steward because hes the best and he handles himself well i think roach is good too but i dont like his personality

 

That's pretty nice writing. What's the story called? How much have you published?

Did you ever box?

 

All the info's on my writing site, nj. Just P.M.'d a link.

 

Nacho Beristain - He teaches his fighters with classic textbook style with boxing IQ, something that I want my trainer to teach me. Also trains my favorite fighter Ricardo Lopez.

Others I like to mention is Emmanuel Steward, Freddie Roach, Nazim Richardson, and Joe Goosen.

 

You're lucky ta have Nacho as a trainer, FR. Always been curious how he puts his unmistakable stamp -- rock-solid fundamentals -- on all his fighters.

 

i don't remember roach being like the way he is until pac started becoming a superstar. he has a bigger head than his fighter.

 

Freddy's the same guy he always was, m. A tough street guy who looks like a choir boy. People are gettin' ta see more of the street guy, with the spotlight on him.

 

You been around the Wild Card a lot and around older trainers. How does Roach compare to the old school trainers? Is he as good as his reputation.

From a distance, when I watch him do pads, his tactics for a fight, cornerwork, he does seem to be the best.

 

Been around Wild Card since it's two earlier addresses nearby, d.

Freddy's like an iceberg: 9/10's below the surface, so keyboard warriors looking for a cheerleader are disappointed. He's ol' school. His fighters trust him implicitly -- never blows smoke at 'em, works tirelessly on strategy and communicates more with a look than all the rabid towel carriers.

 

I wouldn't want anything more from Freddy if I had the opportunity to work with him. It would be nice if he called me son, though.

 

If a fighter truly wants ta learn -- has an open mind -- he'd be hard-pressed ta do better than Freddie.

john what do you think of buddy mcgirt or manny steward as coaches? i'm sure you have come across them before.

 

Ray Arcel. He knew just about everything there was to know about Boxing.

 

Buddy was a damn good, complete fighter, 'n a first-rate teacher 'n tactician.

Like the Brits say: There are swings and roundabouts, 'n Buddy's down, but he's too savvy not to bounce back.
