Who is the greatest trainer ever?
Who made the best fighter? I'm going to have to go with Cus D'amato producing the specimen we know as Tyson..

Mike Tyson Jr.

Cus D'Mato definitely maximized Tyson's abilities to him unstopable.

Cus D'Mato was good I agree, but Tyson was a diamond in the rough who just needed guidance and polishing. Who else did Cus guide? Floyd Patterson? Sheet, we can't say Angelo Dundee is one of the greatest just because of Ali and Leonard. Those guys were natural talents as was Tyson.

Presently, I'd go with Joe Goosen or Nacho Beristain. They just seem to understand their fighters so well and what makes tem tick - which is very important.

Eddie Futch, Dundee never produced a champ. He just maintained them. Teddy Atlas and Manny Steward also were greats because they took amateurs and made them into champs. More than I can say for Roach and Duva.

I am not even going to get into the best of all time debate-- but I think best right now is probably Joe Goosen.

I am going with Freddie roach, for turning pacquiao into controlled fury.

Emmanuel steward is one of the best because he trained amateurs into champs.

most overrated trainer has got to be FLOYD MAYWHEATHER SR. haha

I agree cus D`Amota did a great job with Tyson.
Help him make the style that is perfect for tyson.

I would say Roach and Steward (my trainer has meet him,said he`s a reaol nice guy) is the best of the current.

Who is the alltime best i realy dont know.

Floyd Mayweather Sr. is way better than alot of trainers as far as strategy goes for a fight and he's such a good motivator..

Indeed he did. Lewis is another one of Stewart's notorious lethal assasins. Another one of his was Gerald McClellan the heaviest punching Middleweight in recent memory.

Gerald McClellan, haven't heard that name is ages. Had his career ended by another Brit, Nigel Benn.

Indeed that was very tragic he had so much potential to be great. McClellan had phenomenal power in his fists. These three lethal assasins Hearns, Lewis and McClellan are proof of Emanuel Stewart's talents as a trainer.

Feddie roach is the best, he understands the psychological part of training, manny steward does too - he gave lennox lewis confidence, the one thing he needed to be a champion. Teddy Atlas was a great trainer though i disagree with some of the other bull**** that he says about beards and such, i think Jeff Fenech is showing some promise as a trainer, he learned a lot from getting KTFO'd by the professor, he did a hell of a job motivating Vic Darchinyan in his alst fight

I feel that Cus D'Amato isn't the reason mike was great. Cus just got lucky having mike fall into his hands. all cus did was sharpen a diamond in the rough.

but my vote goes to the legendary Angelo Dundee. I can't picture anybody doing what they love like he does, he's so much into his element, he was born for the job.

i like emmanuel too..it would be hard having to choose between him and angelo but I still go with angelo, since he has trained so many more champions.


teddy atlas was/is a great trainer also.

Of all time I would have to go with Dundee.

Most Underrated trainer would have to go to Johnny Lewis, the trainer of Jeff Fenech, Jeff Harding and Kostya Tzsyu

One of the best ever has to be Arturo "Cuyo" Hernandez:

Carlos Zarate
Lupe Pintor
Alexis Argüello
Finito Lopez

Floyd Mayweather Sr.

He makes his fighters "mo fluidicious".


Manny Steward and Dundee all-time IMO. Hagler's trainers and Hopkins trainer seem to have the best relationship with their respective fighters. Duva had something special with Sweet Pea too.

As for right now I'd say Goosen and McGirt (if he can give you his full attention).

Cus D'amato was the greatest for sure. Trained Jose Torres, made Floyd Patterson the youngest man to win the title. Then trained Tyson and he became the youngest man breaking Pattersons record at age 20. Kevin Rooney was great as well, it wasn't until Tyson left Rooney that he lost. And of course Cus taught Rooney all his secrets, his peek a boo style.

Dundee and D'amato for old school, Freddie Roach and the trainer (what's his name? of Glen JOhnson for this generation.
