Has ANY other trainer done this?

[bojangles1987]

Ward is on his way to the Hall of Fame with Hunter, and I'm pretty sure they've been together since he was a kid.

[Mathiaz]

Marquez and Nacho

Not sure, wasn't Juan & Raphael trained by their father first?

Just a guess here, how about Gil Clancy and Emile Griffith?

[Bolo Punch]

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.

Ahh okay, thanks for enlightening me.

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.

Great story! Tried to green K but apparently I'm a karma whore and I've given out too much lately

Tommy Hearns and Manny Steward?

Big Roy trained RJ from the crib up until the fight with Jorge Castro in June 1992...

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........

That's some real G **** right there.

King tried to poison the minds of James Toney AND Roy Jones, telling them they both needed to "get rid of the ***s" - The Levin brothers (Roy) and jackie (JT) - with NO success...

[NChristo]

Aristides Jofre with Eder, another father - son team.

[New England]

both marquez brothers

emanuel steward and tommy hearns

marvin hagler was with the pretronelli brothers for his entire career. i'd have to read up to know/remember who taught him to box as a youngster.

read the thread, NE, you jackass.
