    Eh not really.. but if you consider him to get into it... might as well throw Roger Mayweather in the poll as well.

    Yup he is one of the greatest of all time, rivalling Arcel/Duva/Clancy etc etc.

    He is the greatest defensive trainer of all time...

    Who, other than Floyd, has Floyd Sr. trained that became a world champion?

    I have a feeling Floyd is so successful more because of his natural ability than either Roger or Floyd Sr.

    Hatton didn't fight according to Sr's gameplan.... he was massively disappointed....

    Arcel left Duran and never trained him again... after Leonard 2..... SR was so disappointed like Arcel was...

    My gut says, "Not really. Who else has he trained?" But I just went over to their site and some of the latest inductees are journalists, photographers, and promoters I've never heard of, so I guess it's meaningless and they just let anybody in.

    I'm looking at the pictures and names as they cycle through. "Oscar De La Hoya. Alright. Tito Trinidad. Good. Joe Calzaghe. All top fighters." Then it's like "Who the hell are these guys?"
