:deal Some people need to fire up google and do some research. Rogers era growing up watching boxing, was Clay in his prime.
"Dundee trained the young Cassius Clay, as Ali was then known, in most of his early bouts, including those with Archie Moore (who had trained Clay before his partnering with Dundee)" So, it doesnt count?
Also don't forget Jose Pepe Correa also trained SRL. SRL also had some sessions at the Kronk gym in the amateur days. The great Angelo Dundee apart from being primarily a cornerman strategist was also a matchmaker for SRL as part of his management. He vetoed SRL fighting Hearns earlier in his career before both were champions because SRL was not yet ready for the dangerous awesome Hearns.
It would be physically impossible for him to do all the traing with Ali or SRL.He would have delegated and got the best people in to do the jobs they were best at. pads,strength etc . most of the best coaches of any sport do this because you get a better view from sitting back a bit and watching.I reckon he would have had a say in every part of the camp and nothing would have got past him.what a fella. Rog is a dude too.
Relentless? :blood :good Dundee kept them apart so they'd make more in the future, ironically Angelo made no more money out of a later fight, than he would have the early one.
A young Ali was actually a bad boxer who got very lucky in his first fights. Cus D'Amato spoke on this, he said: "In Cassius Clay's first fights he had a lot of luck. He fought Sonny Banks, and he got knocked down. He fought Henry Cooper, and he went down. When he fought Doug Jones, he won by the skin of his teeth. When he fought Billy Daniels, Daniels was ahead on every card when all of a sudden a cut opened up over his right eye and they stopped the fight. In the first Liston fight, Clay wanted to quit." http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1079455/3/index.htm He probably improved as he gained experience.
