Greatest Trainer of our Time?

[danny stash]

It's "Cus D'Amato" and he is great but I would agree and disagree since Floyd Patterson didn't fight in my life time and he died during Tyson's way up. He mentored Kevin Rooney and Teddy Atlas though who are great trainers.

I still find 16 champs in 15 years more impressive.

oops I forgot my apostrophe...

grammar police whooot whooot

Neither Kevin Rooney nor Teddy Atlas are "great' trainers as pros.

Rooney and Tyson had good chemistry, and it helped that Tyson was remarkably talented. What else did Rooney do?

What success did Atlas have? His one shining moment, Moorer-Holyfield I, has been so blown out of proportion by people watching Legendary Nights rather than watching the whole fight in full, seeing how Moorer performed before and after he was with Atlas, and people not looking at Teddy's career as a professional trainer.

Did they win 4 games or 5 games in 2007?

Teddy Atlas is not a very good pro boxing trainer.

Why people continue to fall under this myth that he is some excellent pro trainer is a bit of a mystery.
