    As much as I dislike Floyd, I'd pick him as a trainer instead of Tyson

    I'm more of a boxer puncher and Tyson would try to teach me stuff like the peek a boo and inside fighting, which aren't suited for my style

    plus, Floyd would probably teach me how to cheat PED tests effectively

      Or you can get trained by Kov and pump your body full of melodonium

        Flip a coin. Neither have bonafide credentials as a coach. I imagine Mike Tyson giving the most basic, obvious instructions.

              Mike, In the few capacities I've seen him give talks/points to fighters he seems to have that "teacher" in him where-as Floyd seems to have a sadistic mentality with underlings. Also, as stated before, I think he is far more cerebral and knowledgeable than most here give him credit for and has a better spectator's perspective which will help as a trainer vs "what would I do in the ring."

              In my experience, the best fighters/martial artists aren't the best teachers. The good ones that are better students with communication skills but less natural talent are the best at mentoring. To me, Tyson displays these qualities more.

                I'd say Tyson because Floyd style works for him, remember when berto tried it against Guerrero and u see how Broner looks when he does it Tyson could actually teach good boxing technique like head movement hands up ect

                  Tyson been out the ring too long, probably forgot more than some will ever know.

                  Remember Vinny Pazienza using that peekaboo style all wrong when he was trained by rooney? wasted too much energy.

                    I would choose Mayweather simply for the reason that his style of boxing involves getting hit the least. A slick defensive style that gives you more of an opportunity to keep your brain cells intact.

                    But don't trash iron Mike on boxing skills and knowledge, yes, he was a thug and a beast at times, but if you listen to him talk about boxing, technique, style, strategy, and the greats of boxing history, he knows what he is talking about and has always been a student of the game. I think people talk about him getting his head bashed in later on in his career for the one reason that separates him from Mayweather. People avoided Tyson while he took on every tough challenge in his path, money Mayweather did not and never stood toe to toe with dangerous opponents. Iron Mike paid the price for it, physically and careerwise.

                    Both of them are pros with a ton of experience I'd train under either............................................ ... but I'm too old for that crap.

                      These two are complete novices. Floyd Mayweather's style will be completely lost on Souljia Boy. Just get him to be able to throw lots of hard punches without being ****** about it. I imagine Tyson will be better for that. I also imagine that's what Floyd will try to do, if he's smart, which he may not be.
