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.
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).
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
Emmanuel Steward-guided many fighters to great victories
Look what he made out of THOMAS HEARNS!!
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.
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.
Ever.. Angelo Dundee.

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 bullshit 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
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.
Stewart also trained the Brit Lennox Lewis.
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.
