    Good motivator and will get you into shape. Not the best technically and his approach won't work for everyone. His son was just a special fighter with a unique style.

    dont forget he developed that style, nazim richardson on the radio said if an american coach like steward or roach had joe they wouldn't have known what to do with him, they would have gotten him to turn his punches over but then we wouldn't have had joe calzaghe, his style suited his fragile hands.

    and dont forget enzo's other pupils although not great he did improve them ALOT watch macca before and after enzo, he was very flawed before enzo got to him, he took a weak hittin gavin reese to a world championship.

    Damn how could i forget Jesse Reid!?

    hall of fame coach, trainer of world champions!

    took quiet a few fighters to world championships

    including Roger Mayweather, Johnny tapia, hector camacho, paul spadafora and other fighters of that caliber

    he's probably the best cornerman i've ever seen, i cant find any videos of the examples i'm looking for but i'll try

    Angelo Dundee often gets underrated here because of how talented his fighters were, he had quiet a few other champions other than ali and leonard.

    Dundee learnt his trade working in the legendary stillmans gym i think as a water boy i can't remember, but he worked under trainers such as ray arcel and charlie goldman

    the 5th street gym dundee and his brother ran was at one time the 'kronk' or 'wild card' of boxing.

    i was shocked when i heard reid was going to be roach's assistant, but for some reason it didn't work out and reid ended up opening his own gym nearby, i'm glad he did that, jesse reid is nobodies assistant, 23 world champions says it all.

    Roach is technical and that is probably why he is my favourite

    Relentless i used to thnk you were a twat probably because of one ill advised thread you did. But iv a new found respect for you now. You know boxing!

    ...now.......i like John David Jackson who doesnt get enough credit for the work hes done with Hopkins. Hes very techincally sound and has superb ring intelligence Jackson.

    Tommy Brooks did nice work with Whittaker

    Mcgirt im not a great believer in...he doesnt listen to his fighters.

    Shields i agree with but i think his best times are behind him

    When did Brooks do "nice work" with Whitaker? Brooks joined with Pernell late on in his career and gave him some of the worst advise i've seen. Georgie Benton was Pernell's career trainer. That's the person who did "nice work" with Pea and that's who you should be praising.

    James McGirt Sr. is one of the best trainers in boxing. Ask anyone in the business and they'll tell this, it's almost a concensus.

    no he didn,t (i dont think?)

    brooks was always lou duvas assistant and then took over, after that ronnie shields took over.
