    billy graham, it would look fun just to hit the body bag.....but on a more serious note....I would actually choose floyd, sr.....if you see through the bravado, he is reallya brilliant trainer.....he is the brains behind the whole mayweather clan....

    I like Roach a lot. Beristain really good. Steward is good after you get started, but he did bring up Hilmey Kenty and Hearns from scrach. Look what he did for Lewis and Vlad.

    Roach all the way. I need a guy with balls and no bull****.

    Roach. Beristain I would also like but I'm not sure how well we'd communicate. I actually like Floyd Sr. but he treats his fighters like trash.

    Roach, or possibly Manny Steward, it would depend on how i developed early on. I couldn't respect someone like Mayweather Sr as a person so i couldn't train under him.

    For me personally its a toss up between Roach, Nacho and Steward.

    Its important for me to get along with the trainer so screw the Mayweathers i would end up popping them after hearing them talk.

    Nazim Richardson and if i couldnt have him id take kevin cunningham (the trainer of corey spinks). Both those guys are good. Whenever i watch a fight they tell there fighters the same **** that i see when im watching the fght. Pacman better stay away from mosley because im sure nazim already has picked his fights apart and devised a good gameplan for beating him.

    My ability to "do what we worked on in sparring" and "make it a dog fight" might also come into question of course.
