If you are a pro boxer and your career is on the brink, who are you taking with you in your final stand, with your livelihood on the line? Trainers selected to the current gen. Select one and explain your rationale
Brother Naz--Excellent pedigree, innovative niche training programs, inspiring motivator. Quality history of taking fighters and reinventing them for the new batch. Best known for training ATG Bernard Hopkins in the twilight of his career.
Freddie Roach--Multiple award winning trainer of the year. Pupils can make up an all-star roster of fighters, both past and present. Current trainer of world class fighters like Manny Pacquaio. Excellent work ethic, astute student of the game and excellent game planner.
Naaaacho Beristein--Excellent technical training coach. Best known for the Marquez brothers, notably Juan Manuel. Excellent game planner and tough work ethic to bring the best out of you
Robert Garcia--Former boxer, turned trainer. Trains an elite group of boxers ranging from stars Brandon Rios and Nonito Donaire. Versatile, has able to aptly train boxer/technicians such as Donaire and bruiser/stalker types such as Rios and Margarito.
Manny Stewart--Famed trainer with also a roster of all time great fighters. Presently works with HW stalwart, Wlad Klitchsko. Reworked the mechanics recently of Miguel Cotto and has prior history of rebuilding fighters. Excellent technician, and eagle eye with in-ring issues and seemingly ALWAYS knew that something is going to happen.
Floyd Mayweather Sr--Self proclaimed greatest trainer ever. Best known for the latter years of Oscar De La Hoya's career and "training" his son, Mayweather Jr and turning him into what he is today. Never shy, always outspoken, can say what is necessary to get the most out of you.
Buddy McGirt--Former world champion fighter as well, previous trainer of the year award recipient. Has trained the likes of Vernon Forrest, Thunder Gatti and Pauli Malignaggi. Very versatile and has proven to be able to adapt with fighters and in the corner.
Ronnie Shields--Another former fighter, turned trainer. Has worked with a who's who's list of HOF fighters including Real Deal Holyfield and Sweet Pea. Also versatile with training techniques and excellent game planner and master of his craft.
Pedro Diaz/Barry Hunter--Relative newbies in the pro game. Pedro Diaz made a name for himself with helping Cotto secure a huge win in his first big time event. Best known for being the lead trainer with the Cuban amateur team. Typically, perhaps the world's best. Barry Hunter, I am not up to speed on, but b*tchslapping Lamont Peterson and willing him to victory. Makes me notice and deserves honorable mention.
