If you were a pro boxer what trainer would you have in your corner??

Okay what trainer would you have in your corner if you were professional ?? eg Buddy McGirt, Enzo Calzaghe, Freddie Roach, Floyd Mayweather Sr, Billy Graham.........

I would have McGirt as he was a favourite fighter of mine. Billy Graham because I could live in England. Jim Macdonald would be my trainer. I also like Roach but he would work me too hard. I could have been a boxer but just do not like getting hit in the face.

If i was a pro boxer i would have Micky Goldmill (Rocky i, ii iii fame) and if Micky was unavailable i would have Enzo Calzaghe, Just one more round rocko!!!! I could have been a pro boxer but i am a pacifist. Kick Hopkins ass Joe boy!!!

Have to go with Manny Steward

I would have Roger Mayweather i could'nt have Enzo Calzaghe in my corner he reminds me to much of a 70's pornstar. ;D

I'd take roger mayweather based on pure shit talking skills :) (fighters other than floyd don't do so well under his wing imo)

Out of the current crop I would want either Manny Steward or Sam Cologna..(I know I spelt Sams last name wrong)...

If I could pick any trainer of all time it would be none other then the late great Eddie Futch

I would go Mayweather Sr...he talks so much shit but there's no denying that any fighter he's ever taken under his wing has improved.

I'd take Roach. At least in between rounds, if sh#t is going badly, I could always keep a sense of humor by listening to him mumble at me :lickish:

I would try Jeff Mayweather out also.

Panama Lewis because if I was taking a beating he'd bring out the water bottle that he mixed.

Classic. ;D

Nacho Beristain. 8)

OK I'm gonna answer this one just as you said it, I assume you mean just having in your corner, not necessarily training you...

I'd like to have Angelo Dundee. The guy was a straight shooter, he'd tell me if I was losing and why, he has a wealth of boxing knowledge and obviously he has more than a few tricks up his sleeve that helped Ali in certain fights.

Teddy Atlas.

I'd take manny also. When they show video of how he trains his fighters it makes me wanna go back to gym.

I'd take both Roger Mayweather and Mayweather Sr too

For sure. Atlas is calm when he needs to be, can see things really well, tell you what adjustments to make, and is loud and gets your attention when he needs to as well. He's a very good trainer IMO. Talks a little too much, but otherwise, he's awesome.

I would be privileged to have Johnny Lewis in my corner.

Nacho Beristein without a doubt. I don't know of any trainer who's fighters are all so technically sound.

See the post above. Hee hee. Lewis really looks after his fighters and has genuine concern for them not just as fighters but as people.

kevin rooney anyday

If im totally honest, i dont thnk i could handle an American in my corner.... Unless it was Goosen.
Calzaghe for me.

Yoel Judah. Bam, Bam, Bam, Bam, Bam!!

I have to agree Nacho is a Damn good trainer...has what 14-15 world champs on his resume?...He is often forgot about when speaking mainstream for some reason.... but he is a legend without a doubt and better then most out there today.....


Anyone catch Nacho on Fight Quest last week?

Was he on the show alot or just for a few seconds? I was thinking of downloading it. As for Nacho,you're right,he does get ignored mainly because he doesn't open his mouth as much as other trainers,he lets his fighters do the talking.

He was on throughout...don't know if you ever watched fight quest but he trained one of the guys on the show Jimmy Smith for his bout

The one thats the cheapest.

I watched that episode. Great episode. Only one I've watched all the way thru too. That buffed up guy, Jimmy Smith I guess you said his name is, he was pretty good. He definately had some previous boxing expierence. I was very impressed with that guy.

CC. I laughed out loud.

Rooney, Catskill, black boots and trunks, perfecting the bob and weave, keeping up the legacy of Cus Demato.

Floyd Mayweather sr. he teaches the best defensive skills to his fighters, and I value my brain before anything else, the things he did with Oscar's defense still amaze me.

Emmanuel Steward the legendary trainer of the Kronk Gym.

Great minds think alike.... :)

All-time: EDDIE FUTCH

Current: Manny Steward

As a cut man I would go for Cuck Bodak or Hatton's cut man. It was nice how he closed that cut on Hatton's eye against Mayweather 8) .

For a cut man all-time it's Al Gavin

Currently it's Joe Souza or Jacob Duran

Me..I'd go for

Billy Giles - Teaches the general Camacho/Malignaggi slick style and does it well..

James Toney - Pass on his legendary style

Bernard Hopkins could really pass on alot of tricks and a training regime uncomparable to the restt

:D :D :D 8) Dam right bro. :)

Has anybody mentioned Lou Duva? For defense, I would have a toss up between Lou Duva (trained Pernell Whitaker), Mayweather, and Billy Giles.

For all-around skills my vote goes to Nacho Berinstain. Like someone said, he has a good resume.
