Here's one that might not immediatly come to mind: Bill Delaney. He trained both Jim Corbett and Jim Jeffries.

Poet

Bill Delaney is a very underrated trainer........He was also Jeffries manager. A interesting story about Delaney is that after he fell out with Jeffries due to Jeffries failing to fight Bill Squires. When Jack Johnson was preparing for the Jeffries fight, Delaney was eager to help Johnson in preperation for it.

Bill would say ''Jeffries had no chance against the younger man. ''Besides he was scared of Johnson and always had been'' ''The mention of Johnson's name sends cold shivers down Mr Jeffries spine. He never wanted any of Johnson's game''

''When I was with Jeffries merely mentioning the black man's name was like casting a pail of cold water in Jeffries's face''
