Who would you rather have in your corner?

You all need to understand something...it doesnt matter what Floyd or any of them know..it matters what they can get YOU to do, what YOU know, how YOU react to their words... the fact is that there are fighters out there that Floyd , Freddy, Dundee, etc etc just wouldnt be able to reach and it wouldnt what they said in the corner... people seem to subconsciously feel like if Floyd or Freddy or Nacho are in the other corner that it is doom for your guy but that is far from the case...if the other trainer has the right guy with him and the chemistry is right then OK...but you will pay attention and see that even the greatest trainers have fighters under them that they cannot deal with as well as someone else who may even be very unknown. There is a lot more to it than, "Hey that guy is a great trainer...I want him!" You know?

I think everybody here understands that. This is just a thread about which professional trainer you would want in your corner if you were a fighter, if you could have any of them. We know it doesn't mean guaranteed victory, ****, we'd probably all lose.

But it's fun to talk about.

Kinda like which NBA star you'd like to play a little one-on-one with. Doesn't mean we'll win.

I'd pick Floyd Sr then Naazim....

[street bully]

You have Evangelista on the list and not Naazim Richardson?

For real. I wouldn't hire Evangelista to train my dog.

No offense to him, but from what I've heard, even his nephew can't stand him.

good poll but...

For the sake of this poll i voted for floyd sr but in my opinion the trainer that id most want in my corner during a fight is ****m Richardson, that guy has got to be the best ive ever seen at turning an oponents strongest atributes against them

I think everybody here understands that.

No offense but I wouldnt count on that LOL I mean, not the guys in this thread but have you read some of the postings of random posters on message boards? There are those who honestly think all a certain trainer has to do is show up in a corner on fight night and its a guaranteed victory for his guy

I trust Iceman on this one.

I don't visit any other boxing forums, so I'll take your word for it.

Not that this one is that great either in terms of common sense and general knowledge. It wasn't too long ago that I saw someone say James Kirkland is already better than Mike Tyson because he's faced stiffer opposition......

So, point taken.

All I'm saying is that some of us are smart enough to realize that it really doesn't make much of a difference. I'd just like to hear Naazim's funny and insightful quotes inbetween rounds where I was getting my face smashed in.

Definitely not Evangelista.

I'd go with ****m probably. Something about that dude that I would find comforting in the midst of a war. He's like an old sage.

Floyd Sr. When he's not talking smack he's a very perceptive and articulate (in his own inimitable fashion) man.
