How about Teddy Atlas? Shouldn't he be in the mix?

i think steward is the best at physically training an athlete.three words. HEARNS RIGHT HAND. EARLY MOORER.

i think atlas is the best at mentally training an athlete,some of the best corner speak ever heard in the history of the sport came from him

futch is the best all-around trainer but i think steward and atlas are better than him in the areas i noted

the toughest out of these that would give you the most discipline, i believe is atlas.

This brings up another thing that Im curious about.. In all sports boxing included.. It always occurs that the best coaches by far are the ones who themselves as players/fighters were average to a little above average at best.. How come superstar fighters and players never turn into superstar coaches?

You are right about this. The only glaring example I can think of off the top of my head that is an exception to this is Bill Russell. Excellent basketball player and excellent coach.

I think cuz superstar fighters and players can't make others do what they do. Lets say Roy Jones becomes a trainer and he tells his fighter to do a leaping left hook followed by a left uppercut, continuing with several body shots, and then some shots to the head. An average fighter won't be able to do this...

Teddy Atlas is to "great trainers" as Tim Witherspoon is to "great heavyweights"....guys who had 1-2 decent performances and were somehow considered to be at the elite level of their respective businesses based on those 1-2 performances

I'd put Steward, Roach, Goossen, Jesse Reid, and either Mayweather brother WAY above Teddy

[{BrownBomber}]

I think Nacho Beristain deserves a spot in here. Look what he did with Ricardo Lopez and the Marquez bros.This is a guy who trains them from the ground up perfectly.
Joe Goosen is the best at motivation especially during a fight.Also he did a great job with the little talent the Ruelas bros. had.
Emanuell Steward gets a spot also, the best fighters got to him and he makes em a little better.

[Tha Greatest]

Steward, Dundee, and D'Amato all tied at #1

Floyd Mayweather Sr. at #2.
