      Granted Enzo is ****, but somehow he has trained Joe Gavin Rees and Enzo to world titles.

      You Can't argue with that.

            McCallum wasn't home grown at the Kronk. But Manny's overall success is VERY impressive. Labeling someone the greatest trainer is hardly even possible, though. There are too many intangibles involved to say who the best is.

                Me personally, my favorite trainer is Mayweather, Sr because of how technical he is, I enjoy that aspect of how he trains. Hes improved a lot of fighters including Oscar and Guzman.

                  From Sports Illustrated, December 8, 1980:

                  WHERE WERE THEY?
                  Do trainers really train fighters anymore? Lost in all the furor over Roberto Duran 's famous bellyache (page 24) are the performances of Ray Arcel and Freddie Brown , whose job it was to get Duran ready for the biggest fight of his career. Where were they when Duran reached for that extra steak, when he gulped his orange juice? How could they have let him go through such a severe weight-reduction regimen so close to fight time and then blow himself up hours before the bell sounded? Where was that steady hand on the wrist...? "No, Roberto, no more...." Once upon a time trainers used to lock themselves in with their warriors for days before a big fight. They'd monitor every morsel of food that crossed the table, every whiff of cigarette smoke that entered the room.
                  Where was the famous Angelo Dundee when Muhammad Ali was popping all those thyroid pills and burning the weight off so drastically before he went into the Larry Holmes fight a zombie? And how about the first Leon Spinks fight in 1978? Ali admitted he hadn't trained for that one, but you wouldn't have known it from his trainer. At Ali 's workout two days before the bout, Dundee could be heard telling a few skeptical writers, " Ali 's sharp as a razor for this one. I've never seen him so sharp."
