    You're a 16 year old heavyweight up and comer. You have great raw talents in power, speed, and athleticism.

    Knowing what you know about boxing history, who do you choose as your trainer of all the great trainers in the past and present?

    Agreed. Arcel is the best trainer of all time.

    For boxer types, angie dundee. Not hitters, but boxers. another guy real good w/ boxers was Giachetti. Probably lean towards either Blackburn/then Seamon/and lastly Goldman.

    The description sounds exactly like a young Mike Tyson. So for me it would make a lot of sense to go with Cus D'Amato. If he wasn't interested then I would go for Dundee, even though looking at his resume training powerful boxers wasn't his thing, but speed and athleticism is definately something he was very fimiliar with.

    Also, I do agree with a lot of people mention Arcel, because what he did with Duran was amazing.

    The joke was that Arcel developed big arms from dragging his heavyweights back to their stools after Louis had ko'd them.
    On one occasion Arcel stood behind his latest Tiger while the referee gave his instructions,Louis looked at him and said " what, you again?"
