Better trainer Futch or Duva

I don't think it's even a question. Futch by far. Even the great Ray Arcel said that he was the best trainer around.

Duva usually hired assistant trainers like George Benton to do the majority of the work.

I'd go with Eddie Futch ; he's more accomplished when it comes to taking a raw fighter and turning him into a piece of top talent.

Whereas with Duva ; he typically came after the fact, or was blessed with men who had already demonstrated an unnatural amount of raw talent and poential. (See ; Whitaker, and Taylor.)

Futch was a strategist; Duva a glorified cheerleader

Definitely Furch, Duva was like a cheerleader in the corner, Benton and the subsequent trainers were the real trainers in that camp.

Not a contest: I don't even see Duva as a real trainer anyway while Futch is the best to ever work a corner. Props to Ray Arcel: He deserves to be up there too.

Defintly Futch, Duva's corner work with Taylor/Chavez fight was some of the worst ive seen...plus like previously mentioned he was blessed with talented fighters coming to him, aswell as getting other trainers to do the work. I think Ray Arcel is the greatest trainer of all time though
