Never Freddie ****roach. He would not work at all with your sons. If and when your son makes it big, Roach will hit pads with your son once in front of the cameras, and take full credit for his success.
Virgil Hunter
The guy is very studious with his work, he teaches discipline and explains why a you have to be smart in the ring i think one of the best with his wisdom.
He lets the fighter know you have to be training between fights also to build on your skillset, judging by his padwork with khan and ward you can see small things he impliments to better his fighter.
Im sure most trainers are the same though, it all depends on the boxer and how much he listens to the coach, all that wisdom is no good if the fighter doesnt respect you, which i think Virgil commands respect and from what ive seen of him with Khan during the Algeiri build up.
He was clear on Khan not to talk to media as it will affect him psychologically with the talk of mayweather and in his interviews he comes across as an excellent analyst.
I would go with Roger or Floyd Sr. I don't want my son to get hit on the head too much, so going with a defensive style would be best. I could carelss if my son is a crowd favorite, I just want him to not take a lot of shots and get rich.
And I would make sure he works with Haymon, so he gets paid the most money fighting the easiest fights, and avoid any risk.
Great answer! Greenk

First A salas dancer, never throwing a punch, learning distance and closing it.
Then a boxing footwork specialist.
Then a pros like Floyd jr & Chavez sr.
I wouldn't let my son fight. I'll take him to the gym to learn to defend himself, but I would not want my son boxing, doing MMA or playing football at any high level.
^^^^This right here. Despite my love for the sport, I'd try to steer my kid away from pursuing boxing professionally. Too much evidence surfacing about the effects of concussions and traumatic brain injuries. But if he wanted to learn I'd pick Virgil Hunter since I'm from the Bay Area.

When I was younger my favourite trainer was always Jesse Reid. He was the perfect mix of solid foundations of technique and intensity, so I'd pick Jesse Reid.
Pick one and explain....................ps wilder KOs fury.... yeah I said it..
1st let me say cool thread, i have 4 boys 12, 10, 9, & 1 so it hits home. I train the older 3 myself & i will the youngest when he becomes of age. Im a jealous dad so in my heart i always would want to train them even if they decided to go pro, just thinking about me not being in their corner stings inside lol so i chose other bcuz id only want myself to train them but if i had to choose a trainer id wouldve wanted Emmamuel Steward (R.I.P.) current trainers have other interests...
