    Who ever he trains would have to kick his ass before its over with. Maybe when he hits his late 50's.

        I know some may frown on this but I’d like a throwback in SRL or Tommy Hearns or even a Marvin Hagler.

        Each of these fighters brought something to boxing that was distinct and yet unique to styles opposing to them.

            Id like a throwback like Larry Holmes. He knows the importance of basic boxing skills and how the use of a jab can kill opponent. He's well aware of how the boxing business works and since he comes from humble beginnings and has great work ethic hes my number 1 choice.

              Roy Jones Jr. definitely. If you listen to his commentary he's always on point.

                I think Marquez would probably make a good trainer. He grew up in the gym and was trained by one of the best in the business. The man has great boxing ability and lives in a country that will surely give us more great champions in the future.

                    When Roy Jones got old and lost his incredible reflexes he lacked the good technique to make up for it.

                    James Toney and Bernard Hopkins got old but their technique was so good that they are still effective.

                      Hopkins was the first guy that sprung to mind too. Very clever and knows boxing inside out.
