Greatest trainers?

Nacho Beristein and Teddy Atlas

From Sports Illustrated, December 8, 1980: WHERE WERE THEY? Do trainers really train fighters anymore? Lost in all the furor over Roberto Duran 's famous bellyache (page 24) are the performances of Ray Arcel and Freddie Brown , whose job it was to get Duran ready for the biggest fight of his career. Where were they when Duran reached for that extra steak, when he gulped his orange juice? How could they have let him go through such a severe weight-reduction regimen so close to fight time and then blow himself up hours before the bell sounded? Where was that steady hand on the wrist...? "No, Roberto, no more...." Once upon a time trainers used to lock themselves in with their warriors for days before a big fight. They'd monitor every morsel of food that crossed the table, every whiff of cigarette smoke that entered the room. Where was the famous Angelo Dundee when Muhammad Ali was popping all those thyroid pills and burning the weight off so drastically before he went into the Larry Holmes fight a zombie? And how about the first Leon Spinks fight in 1978? Ali admitted he hadn't trained for that one, but you wouldn't have known it from his trainer. At Ali 's workout two days before the bout, Dundee could be heard telling a few skeptical writers, " Ali 's sharp as a razor for this one. I've never seen him so sharp."

RIP Enrique "Quique" Carrion. Ice, did you meet this guy?

McCallum wasn't home grown at the Kronk. But Manny's overall success is VERY impressive. Labeling someone the greatest trainer is hardly even possible, though. There are too many intangibles involved to say who the best is.

steward had hearns, mccrory, kenty and mccallum out of the kronk gym.

Granted Enzo is shit, but somehow he has trained Joe Gavin Rees and Enzo to world titles. You Can't argue with that.yeah but i would say there are trainers with many more home grown champs than Enzo ! ??IMO ! Anybody know whos had the most???

MAKE THE MAN SOME FUCKING EGGS!!!! :firedevil Nice Muss Aviater! :fing02:whos the muss?? thats me lol PMSL

IMO I think a good rule of thumb would be to go off of how many world champs they have trained from scratch ! MAKE THE MAN SOME FUCKING EGGS!!!! :firedevil Nice Muss Aviater! :fing02:

Love them or hate them, the Mayweather brothers have trained some big fights for the biggest names in boxing.

enzo calzaghe "joe ya gotta knock him out to win!" telling a guy with absolutely no power to knock someone out when he's way behind. great advice!
