If you could give one fighter a different coach, who would it be?

I’d connect Mike Tyson with Dr Phil as his life coach.

 

Being from Philadelphia my first thought would be getting Matt Franklin (Saad Muhammad) away from the incredibly inept Sam Solomin and replacing him with George Benton.

 

Demsey xD’amato
Foreman xManny Steward, would be interesting how he refined Foreman’s long distance punching, jabs and fights set up behind it, which was something Foreman could do and did get better at post Ali fight.
Vitali xManny Steward, I have no idea why he wasn’t trained by him since his brother was and it’d make sense stylistically.

 

Howard Davis Jr needs Emanuel Stewart in his corner instead.

 

Lloyd Honeyghan after summer 1987 trained by Emil3 Griffith

 

Luis Resto: Jim Jones.

 

Deontay Wilder and Emanuel Steward would be a banging combo. I think Steward could have made Wilder a heavyweight version of Tommy Hearns.

 

It would be interesting to see how Floyd Patterson's career would develop without Cus D'Amato, with a more aggressive, less conservative coach.

Many "what ifs" in this one:
- Would Patterson look for Marciano?
- How long had been Patterson's reign as HW champ?
- There would be some intention to duck Liston ?

 

Teddy Atlas and Andrew Golota.

 

Holyfield and Cus would have been interesting, Holyfield for sure would have been disciplined and humble enough to not go astray like Tyson, I think he had a good build for the style too, potential for more muscle mass than Patterson and not as bulky as Tyson, more than athletic enough
