Of the best bunch would have to put forward Jimmy Mclarnin's manager Pop Foster, always fought a hard bargain for Jimmy at the negotiating table ensuring Jimmy mnade decent money and had weight advantages in many of his fights. Then when he passed away he left Jimmy pretty much every penny Foster had made during their association to Jimmy in his will, does seen they had a relationship more like father and son than the normal business rerlationship.
Cus cared about his fighters, Jimmy Jacobs was doing well managing Tyson before he past. Having a good manager is one of the most important things in the sport. On the other hand Don King didn't care about his fighters. Though a promoter, often his son managed the fighters. Don didn't give a **** about most of his fighters because he usually had options on the other fighter.
Eddie Futch cared a lot. He told Muhammad Ali that he had to virtually fall in love with a fighter,before he took them on. He displayed great compassion for Joe Frazier,by pulling him out of there in Manilla. Eddie knew that Joe could have got killed had he gone out for the 15th.
Two who qualify for the least ,imo, Al Braverman ,and Ted Broadribb,add whoever was managing Davey Moore, when Duran crucified him.
For what Joe Gould did for Jimmy Braddock, he belongs in the IBHOF. After Braddock retired, they were even commissioned together into the US Army for WW II. A very close and special relationship. On the opposite side of the ledger, Paret's manager Manuel Alfaro was quoted as saying after the Griffith tragedy, "Now I have to find a new boy."
I never cared too much for Al Braverman. I thought Mike Trainer did an excellent job with Ray Leonard. Universum with Michalczewski did a real bice job with a guy from a foreign country no less.
terry lawless , i have been watching a bit of charlie magri over the past week and lawless really looked after magri in his last few defeats pulled him out so he did not get to hurt
