Who’s the best trainer of all time?

Cus

 

Ray Arcel

 

Damato is a joke. Beyond super flawed Tyson Patterson and Torres, what did he do besides Duck good fighters and coddle a ******? Seriously, trainingwise what did Cus do? Make a list 1 thru 10. You can not.
Arcel
Brown
Cuyo Hernandez
Whitey Bimstein
Dai Rowling's

 

I still think Jem Mace deserves more discussion in this.

 

Arcel.

 

Eddie Futch?

 

I’d say Ray Arcel or Eddie Futch.

 

Angelo Dundee, he had a number of champions, Amilcar Brusa, called The Angelo Dundee of South America, 14 World Champions, Emmanuel Steward, Kronk Gym, and Eddie Futch.

 

Jack Blackburn.

Slightly below him would be Freddie Brown.

Then perhaps Eddie Futch. Eddie was basically Blackburn 2.0 minus the drinking and those pesky murders.

I think Ray Arcel was a good trainer but better as a corner men. That was what made him standout. His work during a fight.

George Benton deserves a mention.
Adrian Davis was an excellent trainer.
Tommy Brooks.
Cornermen?
1. Ray Arcel
2. Angelo Dundee
3. Charlie Goldman

 

Eddie Futch and Emmanuel Stewart have stellar records.

 

Futch, Cus and Steward.

I've always been a bit partial towards Jackie McCoy. He was everything - manager, trainer, cornerman. He made world champs out of Don Jordan, Raul Rojas, Mando Ramos, Rodolfo Gonzalez, Carlos Palomino and Gerrie Coetzee. He had some near-misses too with Monroe Brooks, Superfly Sandoval and Frankie Baltazar. He had many from the very beginning, but guys like Gonzalez and Coetzee came to him late in their careers and he turned them right around which is phenominal. Guys like Dundee and Steward started out in the grind at the 5th st. gym and Kronk respectively, but as they got bigger, training was done by others and they would come in the last few days for final prep and of course, work the corners. But McCoy oversaw everything from A to Z, while he was working as a Longshoreman. I also liked Gil Clancy who did his due diligence with Griffith, Valdes, Ahumada and Quarry. But he impressed me when Bonavena came to town and they hooked him up with Clancy for the Ali fight and he actually taught Oscar how to jab. I also liked Brendan Ingle who brought a certain style to the game, which he taught well to Herol Graham, Prince Hamed and Johnny Nelson. I know a few of you mentioned Freddie Brown, but really, Freddie was a cornerman.

 

Freddie did the every day training of Roberto from 72-80. No one else.
