    Who have you got?

    Might be a bit clichéd and not as obscure as some posters may go for, but for me it has to be Cus D'Amato.
    - Notable plaudits deserved for Patterson and Torres
    - Produced the youngest heavyweight champion of all time in Mike Tyson. Channelling raw aggression in and outside of the ring.
    - Left behind a legacy of excellent trainers in Teddy Atlas and Kevin Rooney

    Either Angelo Dundee or Emmanuel Steward for me with Eddie Futch just behind them. So many champions between them.

    Futch. He's trained 2 men to beat Ali and 1 to beat a prime Roy Jones. Yes Jones was struggling and should have been behind on all of the scorecards at the time of the DQ against Griffin. Also trained Bowe to beat Holyfield.

    You have named two of the ugliest trainers of all time. Unfunny and unstylish, congratulations.
