      It was a toss up between D'Amato and Dundee but ultimately I went with Dundee...

            Out of the list I would choose Ray Arcel. :P
            This.

            Look at the list the TS made. Look at the natural talent D'Amato and Dundee could work with. Now compare with Futch. Well, at least to me, Futch is the natural choice out of the three.

              Futch.

              A lot of D'Amato's and Dundee's guys were already destined for greatness because of their natural gifts.

              Futch actually took a fighter from nobody to somebody.

                  Futch for sure. Dundee had the great talent to work with and D'Amato was too rigid in his ways.

                    I'd choose all three. D'Amato while starting out, Futch when the skills have already been developed, Dundee as the cornerman.

                    D'Amato did a great job with Tyson, Torres, Patterson, training them from when they were teenagers, although with Tyson he could no longer actively participate in training. He wasn't the best manager though, being too protective of his fighters, and he was rather one-dimensional in his approach as he wanted his fighters to be as aggressive and exciting as possible. It would have suited Patterson to be more of a boxer against bigger heavyweights as he went onto be later in his career without D'Amato.

                    Futch made up the best fight plans and had great understanding of the sport. The most accomplished trainer of the lot.

                    Dundee was a corner by himself, a motivator, an advisor and a cutman. He knew what to say to his fighters and always had their best interest in mind. Did a great job with Ellis turning him from a 160 lb fringe contender to a 195 lb heavyweight titlist.

                      Of course having to choose only one I'd pick Futch as the best overall, but I thought I'd highlight the strengths of each with the previous post of mine.
