Had chance to talk to @SugarShaneM at ringside. Thinking about his #boxing future, said he wants to get more serious about training fighters
I remember De la Hoya saying Shane had helped him before and that he was very good at mimicking other fighters with their type of rhythm as well and would give him great advice on how to get through it.
I think Shane might be humble enough to be the kind of dude who could be a decent trainer in comparison to a guy like Roy
He was a great boxer, so he'd suck as a trainer.
You have to know what it's like to suck as a boxer/basketball player/baseball player/athlete.
Good athletes as coaches/trainers would just have this attitude like, "listen to me i'm a former world champion!" Not that former world champs can't be good trainers, but you know what I mean, HOF former champs.
It takes a journeyman/gatekeeper to be a good trainer. They were outmatched their whole life and have experience in fighting more top fighters than an actual top fighter.
If I needed to hire a coach and had to choose between DeMarcus Corley or Shane Mosley, i'd pick Corley.
A lot of truth in this I reckon. The guys who it came naturally to are the least well positioned to explain it to the guys it doesn't come naturally to. The guys who had to think a lot harder about their flaws and learn the harder lessons are in a better position to impart those lessons to others. It's easier for them to empathise with someone else who's struggling to learn something.
No hard and fast rules of course. A lot of different elements to training and coaching. Takes the right type of person to be good at all of them.
if i had to guess, i think he will totally suck at it.
jack mosley taught shane mosley how to fight.
shane doesn't strike me as a bright guy at all. he relied on his talent when he was at his best. speed, power, and chin.
Agreed. I don't see Shane being able to develop talent whatsoever.
Pretty much impossible to tell. You might as well be trying to guess how good he'd be at floor tiling.
Also true but I can't see it.
I'm done thinking the Pernell's, Roy's, and Floyd's of the world would become great trainers. They can''t, in their prime they didn't know what losing really meant.
B-Hop is special case however, in which he is an ATG, former lineal champ, multiple world titles but I can see it in him. I'm not too sure, he seems more like a good mentor, to be there verbally.
