Has any other trainer besides Goody Petronelli trained a guy from his first day in the gym to his last, from a kid to the HALL OF FAME? Goody trained Marvin from his very first day in the gym through the amateurs (National AAU Champ in 1973) right up until his last fight and last day and right into the HOF...no other trainer for Marvin, ever...

I think Roy was trained by Papa too for a long time.
Also, all of the examples above are Father Son training relationships. Nothing wrong with that but are there any others where the trainer is no relation?
I'll try to think but I'm a little befuddled by wine right now.Comment

I don't tknow, but i know that Hagler had his first pro fight with Top Rank and right through out his whole career including his last one. He was particularly fond of Bob Arum. Don King tried to steal him by getting friendly with his wife and when she tried to talk him into switching, he told her that if she didn't keep out of his business affairs he'd stop supporting her mother........Comment

Yes I have the perfect example. There was a boxer many years ago named Jimmy McLarnin, who became world welterweight champion, he won and lost to Barney Ross. His trainer and manager was Pop Foster. Foster saw him when he was playing football at about age 14 went to his family and said he could make a world champion out of him. He promised the family he'd take good care of him and took him away with him.. He did. McLarnin made lots of money, which he kept and he retired when Pop Foster told him to. Foster did too. He was the only fighter he ever had.Comment
