    Steward for what he did with wlad now and what he did with hearns before.
    Not to mention lewis and his other fighters.

    I agree, Luke.

    I, too, picked Emanuel.

    Most good trainers have one marquee name that helps define a legacy, but in the case of Steward--he has three such fighters (Hearns, Lewis, Wlad).

    Other trainers have had more than one, but out of the active trainers, I believe this puts Manny Steward head-and-shoulders above the rest.

    Steward, Nazim Richardson, Roach IMO but being a couch-warrior rather than a recipient of their expertise I couldn't say much more than they seem like they know their ****, come up with original fightplans and they get great results.

    I think Nazim and Freddie Roach are pretty much evens, both smart dudes

    Steward has a legacy of around 30 years but Roach has done some great things already with his fighters in a short period of time

    Tommy Brooks is very underrated he can teach boxers many things in VERY short time. He is best consultant trainer ever.
    Steward's main skill is tactical planing. NO ONE and I mean NO ONE is better than him in this department.

    A lot of Pac fans will disagree with us.

    You clearly left one of the best Nacho Beristain!! In fact he has far better credentials than a lot of the fighters on this list.

    Uli Wegener deserves to be on that list above many that you mentioned.

    the thing all these great trainers have in common is that they're able to press the right buttons, Roach, Nazim and steward (to name a few) know exactly what to say to make their fighters click.

    Manny Steward said he will spend most of the cotto camp talking to cotto, discussing tactics, find out more about him etc etc
