Who’s the best trainer of all time?

Just repeating a quote from Vito Antuofermo when Freddie Brown took over training after his original trainer Willie Felice left. Vito said something like, "Willie was a great teacher, but he was no cornerman. When Freddie came in it was just the opposite. Freddie was no teacher, but he was a great cornerman."

 

Freddie was the greatest cut man ever and was for Vito. Marciano. Holmes sometimes, etc. But with Roberto Duran, Freddie was the everyday trainer who knocked him into shape. Freddie was the one Duran needed most after New Orleans. No one else. But like Roberto himself, King and Eleta ripped Freddie off financially and Freddie said **** that and quit.
New Orleans was a huge Moneygrab for King and Eleta and if Duran ended up with even $1,000,000 of that $8.5 million dollar purse I'll kiss your fat ass.

 

In no particular order
Futch
Benton
Blackburn
Jimmy DeForest
Bill Miller
Steward
Brown
Arcel
Nacho
Take your pick . There all great at what they do.

 

Clearly, you've never seen my arse. LOL!

 

We don't know.

 

Probably someone we've never heard of.

 

I was under the impression that Eddie Futch trained Don Jordan. He had always mentioned him as his first champion.

 

I like Eddie Futch and George Benton.

 

Some trainers are good at working with established fighters. Perhaps they can tweak a few things and improve them. Others are better from the ground up. Freddie Brown was a great teacher but not as much for a beginner. He could take a raw Roberto Duran and make him a balanced boxer/master infighter. Or help a Larry Holmes polish his game.
Ray Arcel was good at understanding the type of kid he was working with. Sometimes he could scold a guy or sometimes he had to be a little softer. The same approach doesnt work on everyone.

I like these two, Blackburn and Benton a lot.

 

I've always been partial to Jerome "Doc" Louis.

 

Manny Seamon

 

The one with the best fighters.
