      The greatest trainer of all time to me was Eddie Futch. My favorite now is Manny Steward.

        i don't if you're being sarcastic or what. but if you're serious, I agree. McGirt brought out Gatti's boxing ability, which was virtually non-existant throughout his career. But of course, not even God could've trained Gatti to beat the likes of DLH and Floyd.

If he can be considered great...then there are WAY TOO MANY great ones around then.
          I say that Scully because he teaches technique that is very unique and it is proving to be successful at the highest level of competition , its like I said in my post , I admire people that are innovative , anybody can follow trends not anybody can change them ,,,,, the other side of this is the fact that through modern communication like the internet and mass coverage its harder to stand out in the modern era than years ago , greatness can also be based on your abilities , recognized great achievments are harder to gather today in sport as they can just get lost in the crowd .

            Nacho is hands down the best trainer right now, the style he gives his fighters is underrated...

              Why doesn't it suprise that you'd pick Nacho, f**kin' *****u***(lol).

              Nacho can only train fighters that are natural counter-punchers. Any other type of fighter, Nacho would fail! Roach would eat Nacho!

                Watch the fight again and listen to what McCall says during the break after the 1st round, he says exactly what punch he will take out Lewis with. Despite what Bert Sugar tries to imply, it WASN'T a lucky punch.

                    Good list, though you could argue Dundee had a ton of talent to start with in his top fighters.

                      But who is it succesful with? Other than his son, who ROGER developed in the pro stages, who has he actually made a big difference with? Hanshaw? Oscar? I dont think so at all. The style? Nobody other than Floyd Jr. has done anything good with that "style"
