Lennox Lewis, Hearns, McClellan, Camacho, Chavez, Holyfield, and Hamed I believe... however, not all of these people trained there often or a lot in their career. Some just trained there for a bit at one time or another in their careers.

McClellan yes, Hearns yes, Camacho I don think so Holyfield was trained by Duva, Hamed I dont think so. Lennox Lewis trained part of his career at Kronk.

Michael Moorer
Duane Thomas
Mark Breland
Lennox Lewis
Evander Holyfield
Gerald McLellan
John David Jackson

These are all fighters trained by Emanuel Steward, not all though but the best ones...

The best fighters to come out of Kronk who started there are Gerald McLellan, Thomas Hearns, Michael Moorer, Milton McCrory...

The kronk had lot of talented fighters but like 25% of their fighters went to jail, got on drugs, or got killed..

how sad...

Nah, I'm 95% sure most of those people trained at the Kronk at one time or another during their careers. I'm not suggesting as unknowns or for a long period of time... but I'm almost positive....

Manny trained Holyfield to avenge his defeat to Moorer. Manny trained Hamed in 1999/2000.

He trained there for his rematch with Bowe..which he happened to win...

I'm gonna start going to the Kronk this March!!!:D:D:D CANT ****IN WAIT!

McLellan, Hamed, and Moorer could've been some of the greatest fighters of all time if they had stayed at the kronk.

Can anybody go to Kronk? And when you do see Viv ask him what he doin for his next fight and make sure to ***** slap him and call him stupid for fighting so stupidly.

On a side note, tell Harris to go play with Dolls and see if he kicks your ass.
