That's a trick question. In my opinion, Ignacio "Nacho" Beristain is the best ever and he's still alive.
Here are some other great ones:
Frederick "Pee Wee" Beale
Ray Arcel
Eddie Futch
Emanuel Steward
Angelo Dundee
"Lou" Duva
"Cus" D'Amato
Freddie Roach
Make your own list and let's compare, there are plenty more great trainers out there.
Ignacio is a great choice and he's certainly up there.
Nearly all of his best fighters Zaragoza to Lopez to Marquez had common attributes which demonstrated the system he has nurtured to bring these guys to the top.
Futch is an obvious selection and very deserving of his reputation. He may be the best.
Charley Goldman has to be appreciated for his abilities as an alchemist.
I think Arcel was exceptional.
Goody Peteronelli did a great job with Collins to concrete his work with Hagler. Even Simms was a dman good fighter.
Living. Definitely.
Brilliant. ;DQuote:

Blackburn
Goldman
Brusa
Bimstein
Wiley Sr
Fisher
Eddie Futch
Angelo Dundee
"Lou" Duva
and Naachooooooooo libre I mean Beristain
Dundee and Roach are great trainers, but their major stars were already good boxers (I think I would be remembered as a great trainer if I had Muhammad Ali, Ray Leonard or Manny Pacquiao in my stable).
No disrespect to those guys, but I really rate some of the old timers who had to slog their way through life and created a mega star on their way - people like Chappie Blackburn, Eddie Futch or Charley Goldman.
Eddie Futch
Angelo Dundee
Emanuel Stewart
probably in that order....... with an honorable mention to Cus D'Amato
I have always rated Brendon Ingle.
I expected to come in here and find that Ryan had declared Miles the greatest trainer of all time!
