Ex fighters who would make great trainers

[-Johannes-]

Paulie Malignaggi, although he might have a more solid job at being a commentator and an analyst.

Yup, first thing that came to mind, Hop was very good at breaking down how to throw the punch and the setup to throwing the punch...

know where you're coming from but no.
being a trainer is not just about knowledge, it's much more about being able to transmit that knowledge effectively over a sustained period of time and in an organised manner.
a top trainer has to be able to put someone else first always, something which most top fighters are not cut out for, their ego is one factor that takes them to the top as a fighter yet this is usually not compatible with being a quality trainer.
