I believe that behind every great boxer is a great and talented coach.We should also have a list of great boxing coaches. I wonder who is the most most talented (best) coach of all time? Name your pick.

Edwin L Haislet, coach at the Univ. of Minnesota, and author of the best "how to..." boxing book in history.
Bill Miller, the man that taught James Toney and was the REAL trainer behind Kronk's greatness.
Ray Arcel
Jackie McCoy
For me it's simple, 'Nacho'.
For me, I think people like Eddie Futch, Chappie Blackburn and maybe Emmanuel Stewart are up there?
Charley Goldman also did a sterling job on Marciano, considering what he had to start with.
If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?
Past Legends include:
Eddie Futch.
Angelo Dundee.
Cus D'amato.
Current Potential Legends:
Freddie Roach.
Enzo Calzaghe.

Do trainers really deserve credit, they can help a fighter but ultimately it is the fighter that makes the name of the trainer, and trainers now can pick and choose their fighters like consultants and get fame and fortune for comming in 2 weeks before a fight.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
A fighter is nothing without training, il swear by that. But i dont agree with this switching of trainers every fight, it jus doesn't seem nurturing to start with a new coach every time.

The reality is that in front of every great trainer is a least one great fighter and it is the fighters that make the great trainers stand out.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I'd agree to some extent (an example Dan Birmingham.) But then there's the trainers like Enzo Calzaghe who has a stable of home grown champs, like Joe C, Enzo Mac, Bradley Price, Gavin Rees n a heap of young guys he's all trained himself, so id say its more of a symbiotic relationship than u see it...Trainers need Fighters, Fighters need trainers
