Who would you pick as u're trainer, & why?

If you were a professional boxer and were shopping for a new trainer, who would you pick???

I'd need someone who is loud and continually yells to keep me motivated & pumped up... I think game plan and technique would come slightly second most of the time to just keeping me in top shape mentally and working hard...

Probably some Like Calzaghe's old man I know would get the most out of me... Not the most technically accurate, but i'd need that type of push and kind of ignorant confidence in me... :)

I couldn't stand Freddie Roach I don't think.. Nothing personal.. Just can anyone hear him freakin talk?

floyd sr. modern day great

2nd was lou dova

Jenna Jameson. Since I will have to spend 3 months locked away with someone then It might as well be her and I can train on her everyday, maybe I will take Sunday's off

You need a trainer that adapts to the boxer in order to get the best out of him and not train all his fighters the same way, Enzo Calzaghe for example tries to train all his guys like Joe, and unfortunately this doesn't always work.

Some fighters need a firm hand, others need to be pushed in other ways, others just need to be pointed in the right direction.

A good trainer is one who can quickly recognise what the fighter needs and do what is necessary to get the best out of that fighter. The fighter has to want to succeed 100% to make it in this game, if he/she doesn't then they can get any trainer in the world and it won't make a difference.

Personally it would be Floyd Sr. He's so abrasive, pompous and loud, but I think for me it would be a perfect fit. I also like Manny Stewart. I couldn't work with Roach; he'd be a distraction.

I would want Larry Merchant. Because I would get my ass beat anyway, and it would be funny.

Present: Ignacio "Nacho" Beristein

I'd want to be as technical and precise and as perfect of a fighter as there ever was.

Past: Ray Arcel

I'd need grit and determination great work ethic and someone who's tooken many fighters to the promise land.

I agree Nacho is a great trainer that is overlooked a lot by the mainstream fans. I would love to have him training me.

Past trainers would be Eddie Futch, Bouie Fisher or Angelo Dundee. All great in thier own way.
