Thread: Best Trainer in the business- Top 3.

Well, who are the best trainers in the business, American or European OR Asian?

#1. Tommy Brooks. His win loss percentage is impeccable. Fighters avoid him because they don't like his strict discipline. But, he's with David Price now- and Price will be best served. I assure you. Brooks is what Price needs!

#.2 Freddie Roach. For a man with such a debilitating disease, with most likely other promoters/trainers trying to poach his best fighters, he remains a premier trainer, mentor and coach.

#3. Nacho Beristain. He WILL be a hall of famer. And he deserves it. He has engineered, from Mexico, setting his guys to fight up in North America and around the world, champions that we will remember for YEARS to come. I thank him for his contribution to this sport.

Honourable mention:
Fritz Zdunek- Vitali Klitschko's trainer.

Nazim Richardson- Top 5 trainers in the USA/North America

Floyd Mayweather Sr.- I think he is a better trainer than his brother, Roger Mayweather.

Roger Mayweather- without question a top 5 trainer in the USA/North American region. If he can make a name for himself outside of Floyd Mayweather Jr.- who's father has much to do with him as he does- he will set himself up to be #1.

Who do you have??

Tough to say who should be on the list but if Freddie Roach is then boxing is in really bad shape. Freddie has never once taught a fighter one thing about defense. How can that type of "teacher" be amongst the best?


I'm sure somebody will reply with all his trainer of the year yada yada yada, those awards are won by fighters and received by trainers.

who does goosen train? i always liked him as a trainer

nacho is the only trainer out there right now that i feel is very good. most of the other top trainers are pretty equal.

Can't argue with the names given thus far really. Sometimes a trainer just clicks with a fighter and can make that particular fighter better. Other times a trainer is just a good trainer who can improve almost anyone.

Freddie Roach is in the top 3. The way he improved Manny Pacquiao & Amir Khan in particular is testiment to his abilities and considering his illness you have to applaud him.

Right now I think Robert Garcia has potential to be a top trainer. The work he's doing with Donaire, Maidana, Mikey & Rios has been pretty decent thus far.

In the UK I think Joe Gallagher is a top trainer. He's helped turn nobodies into something since taking over Billy Graham's gym and just got his first World Champion with Scott Quigg. Considering how little time he's been doing it I'd say he has potential to be considered a top trainer in the future. His winning run that spanned over 40 fights was pretty impressive, especially since Crolla was going in as an underdog early doors.

Chico corrales, michael nunn, Ruelas brothers, John Molina to name a few..

I really like the directness and the clarity of his voice in the corner.. ive never seen him get rattled or all emotional like some trainers. He just stays cool as he gives intructions.

Joe Goosen doesnt get enough recognition as a trainer when infact he's a lot better than the likes of garcia and nazzim.
