    Easily Eddie Futch imo

    Angelo Dundee - Muhammed Ali, Ray Leonard, Jose Napoles, George Foreman, Jimmy Ellis, Carmen Basilio, Luis Rodriguez, Sugar Ramos, Ralph Dupas and Willie Pastrano.

    Eddie Futch - Larry Holmes, Rid**** Bowe, Mike McCallum, Alexis Arguello, Bob Foster, Michael Spinks, Ken Norton, Joe Frazier, Marlon Starling, Don Jordan, Montell Griffin and Trevor Berbick

    Eddie Futch imo trained the better boxers including 4 of 5 which beat Muhammed Ali.

        Eddie Futch is the better trainer... Louis Sarria the greatest Cuban trainer of all times was the real trainer behind Muhammad Ali, Sarria was their from the very start with Ali and was the guy who trained Ali on a daily basis getting Ali to run backwards among many other exercises as well as Ali`s massuer Sarria could speak no English so Angelo Dundee translated, Sarria was the main man behind Sugar Ramos, Louis Rodriguez, Jose Napoles, Ralph Dupas & Willie Pastrano not Angelo Dundee

          Futch.

          I think the mark of a great trainer is taking slightly flawed athletes to the top, Futch did it more often.

            Thanks Sonny didn't know this :P, watched a few documentaries and Sarria's name never came up and everyone always said that Ali trained himself and that Dundee was just by his side the whole time, never really did anything, yet he still takes credit for everything Ali did.

            Never really liked Dundee personality wise and now I know Sarria was behind training some of the greats that Dundee supposedly did and still takes credit for without ever mentioning Sarria, it kind of tops the cake lol.

              I see Futch i getting the call here but I think they were both great.

              Training Ali and Leonard from their pro debut through their prime title years is an accomplishment you just can't overlook.

                  i had heard that too, thanks for clarifying that for me. Eddie Futch was an amazing trainer and i think his legacy is prolonged thanks to Freddie Roach, who is a pretty decent trainer himself, hahah.

                    Dundee was more of a cornerman than a real hands-on trainer.
