    I prefer ones who train multiple world champions for a while and/or develop fighters through the ups and downs, the Mayweather's certainly deserve their due but we all know Floyd pretty much does a lot of it himself.

    Well there are plenty of great trainers. Thing is you have to have a good chemistry between fighter and trainer. Someone like Roach is great for guys with great offense and someone like Floyd Sr better for fighters more prone to be great defenders based on what specific talents they have. And then Manny Steward was great at getting taller fighters to use that to their advantage. Look at what he did with Wlad.

    His dad taught him how to fight. That obviously counts for something. You can dislike them all you want but that doesn't mean they don't know boxing.

    I'd go with Eddie Futch. His track record speaks for itself.

    He said, "...nothing great about the mayweathers as trainers." But nobody has beaten Floyd...

    In 48 fights.

    And the Mayweathers trained Floyd.

    For 48 fights.

    Meh...who would consider that great? Oh, I don't know...maybe anyone without an agenda, possibly? Help me out here...you. In the back. With the helmet on.

    I swear these cats...just...don't...
    But I don't expect you to employ any type of logic in your responses (for some odd reason :roll:). Some people just can't stand the success that others have attained. I feel for you, homeboi. No, really. I do. Real talk.


    fa real.

    Once again from the ground up name the number of champions these guys trained outside of Floyd ! It's about great trainers maybe you can't comprehend the concept !!But hey when you can show me how many trainer of the year awards these guys have won I will back until then there is nothing great as far as trainers when it comes to the Mayweathers!
