How does Cus D'Amato compare to the trainers of today?

[SCtrojansbaby]

Nacho and Steward are the best trainers I have seen. They give there fighters a style to work with_

[Evil Abed]

Does Cus get the Bill Walsh effect?

What I mean is that does he get more credit for the trainers he trained that went on to be successes. Ala Rooney and Atlas.

The creation of the Peek-a-Boo defense is also a great accomplishment.

Are you sure about? And, Cuz also trained Miguel Torres. Who was a good fighter. So he should get credit for that also not just for Patterson and Tyson.

However, how important was Rooney to Tyson success? Granted D'Mato was Rooney mentor. But, we're not going to give Futch credit for Pac are we?

But, OK Nacho trained Zaragosa HOF'er, the Marquez both will be in HOF, Lopez HOF'er. Who's was successful already when Nacho started training them?

Why is Cus ahead of Nacho? Just out of curiosity?

Would you put Cus' ahead of Dundee?

How is Cus' on the same level of Goldman, Futch, and Arcel?
is no way in hell Cus' is on the level of those 3 as a trainer.

I wouldn't put Cus D'Amato anywhere near Arcel or Futch but by ****ing god is he better than Angelo Dundee.

He is also a whole level above Manny Steward.

I agree I would probably put Cus on the level of Nacho and Roach or possibly a tad higher.

Ray Arcel is the best trainer of all time. Just throwing that out there.
