    He gets a lot more credit for Norton. Futch replaced Yank Durham as Joe's trainer after his death. It was Durham who trained Frazier in the first Ali fight. Frazier was a finished product when Futch got him.

      Didn't Futch also train Larry Holmes, except later when Holmes fought Spinks?

          I think Futch gets credit and rightfully so.

            Rich Giachetti was Holmes' trainer until after he was champion. He deserves most of the credit.

              Keep in mind both men are bad match-ups for Ali

                Cool thanks. Too bad he couldn't get Tyson to do more with him and listen more to him during his comeback.
