Greatest Boxing Trainer Of All Time...Who You Got?
- Thread starter P03t
- Start date
My personal favorite:
Teddy Atlas
That's who I'd want in my corner......or Floyd SR.
Sad many people forget that Floyd SR made Jr what he is.
Roger took over.
@ no Emanuel Steward

Dundee
I'm rollin wit Cus D' Amato due to the fact that he built many of his champions from scratch and it was no fluke because he has more than one (Floyd,Tyson) to name a few who also just also happen to be the two youngest heavyweight champions in boxing history thanks to Cus.
Futch all day... Case closed
Trained 4 out of the 5 guys who beat Ali- Futch
Taught Freddie Roach everything he knew- Futch
Correctly predicted that Vernon Forrest would be the only guy who would handle Sugar Shane back when he was unbeatable- Futch
If that's not enough, his Riddick Bowe beats D'Amato's Patterson AND Tyson... And we just went through how many times he beat Dundee in a head-to-head... Even Roach himself says Futch was the best.

I'd have to agree with Eddie Futch. He even taught my favorite trainer, the Late George Benton who passed away last September from pneumonia, but in my opinion was responsible for the genius of Pernell Whitaker and had Meldrick Taylor seconds away from immortality.

Futch by a mile with Ray Arcel and Jack Blackburn pulling up the rear.
he never trained any world champs
every world champ in the late 70's thru the early 90's, except in the middle weight division lost to his boxers every time
I like the competition. But how do we judge this? By who has produced the most champs or successful boxing careers?
Produced the most world champs or produce a significant fighter
The Petronelli's significant fighter was Marvin Hagler who dominated the MW divison in the 80's...world class trainers
then you have the Eddie Futch's & Angelo Dundee's that produce multiple champs
my personal fave will always be Eddie Futch & D'amato
