Fighters Who Fell Out With Their Trainer?

“The only thing I learned from Emanuel Steward is how to shoot a jump shot”- Oscar De La Hoya

 

As long as it wasn't an argument.

 

John Conteh fell out with George Francis and Ken Buchanan with Eddie Thomas.

 

Everybody who ever trained with Teddy Atlas. (Who had a habit of trying to hunt them down with a loaded gun when jilted.)

 

Of course there's two sides to a story, but I find it hard to believe Oscar learned nothing from Emanuel when the guy has a legendary resume as a trainer.

As far as I know, Tim Bradley got along with Atlas and they didn't fall out.

 

Holy & Benton
Holmes & Giacetti
Norton & Futch
Bowe & Futch

 

Cotto always blamed someone else. How many times did he change trainers? Only time he didn't complain was after the first Margarito fight. He just folded up beaten to a pulp. It wasn't till Naz started the Loaded gloves BS at the Mosely debacle that he started claiming Marg had loaded gloves. That started all the guys Tony beat saying that he hit too hard. Cotto couldn't beat a one eyed Margarito in the rematch he had to rely on the NY doc stopping the fight when Cotto began to wilt as Tony was beating his chest. Tony couldn't see out of that eye from round2 & the doc knew it Why didn't he stop it earlier ???

 

I believe Naz was the cause of Bouie & BHop's break up. When I met them they were more like father & son.
Joking about one fight the promoters got them a room at a flea bag motel. They both said no thanks & spent the night in Bouie's car

 

Great story about the motel. That is what is so impressive about their partnership. They had to literally grind their way to the title on short money and tough fights. BHOP was an ex con and didn't have the same opportunities as guys like Oscar and Tito that had big time promoters to guide them. BHOP had to grind it out just like Hagler had too.

 

Yeah Its true The guys that came up the hard way make the best fighters. Both were really nice friendly guys too.

 

1. Tyson
2. Briggs
3. Grant
4. Moorer
5. Povetkin (more peacefully than the others but he doesn't speak English)

Not sure who else.

 

He is the common denominator

 

Ray Arcel split from Duran after the no mas fight, he was worn out trying to keep Duran focused on fighting instead of partying. He did a good job too having Duran fight all those non title fights but when Duran made huge money he wouldn't listen any longer. He learned the hard way....

 

Jermaine Taylor and Emanuel Stewart…is probably the funniest

 

Do father and son teams count ? Like Floyd Mayweather and Floyd Sr …or Wilfred Benetiz and Wilfred Sr ?
