'Straight out of Philadelphia'

Eddie Futch ~ Joe Frazier

Smokin' Joe said that Eddie did >

A} Little more than give me water at the end of each Round
B} Wiped me down with a towel
C} Offered 'one-or-two' words of instructions after each Round
D} Cost me the fight in Manila
E} Never had a 'fight-plan' for me
F} Made a good 'Philly Cheese Steak'
G} Couldn't hold a candle to Yancey 'Yank' Durham

[Sleepwalker]

Worst: Teddy Atlas/Michael Moorer

When did Freddie Roach train BHop? I only remember Bouie Fisher, Brother Naz n John David Jackson training him. What am I missing?

[mikeeod]

Best:
1. Nacho n JMM/ Raf Marquez
2. Manny Steward n Michael Moorer
3. Manny n Tommy Hearns
4. Petronelli brothers n Hagler
5. Anne Wolfe n James Kirkland
6. Eddie Futch n Riddick Bowe
7. Bouie Fisher n BHop
8. Bill Miller n James Toney
9. Roach n Manny
10. Rodger n Floyd

Not going to name the worst but will say that Manny n Jermain Taylor was the best example I've seen so far, with Hatton/Floyd sr. a close second.

What about Chris Algieri and his goddamn trainer. What chance do you have when you're a feather fisted runner and your trainer sends you in there with the game plan that you're going to get your ass kicked for 9 or 10 rounds and then pull off a dramatic one-punch KO against one of the greatest fighters of the last 30 years.

[Beanflicker]

How about Alton Merkerson/Roy Jones? I guess it can be argued that Big Roy laid the ground work, but Alton joined Roy in '92 and won titles with him everywhere from middleweight to heavyweight.

Just one fight: Calzaghe
Good one on Bouie Fisher

Mickey Ward didn't do too good with Gatti fighting gomez
Mcgirt not to good with Malinaggi against Hatton.

Also agree with the Merkinson Jones comment.

And Mcgirt had chemistry with Tarver.

[Spicoli]

Mosley and his Pop worst for me. Also Norm Stoney stone acting a certifiable lunatic with Ruiz more often than not. Certainly not top anything all time but John d Jackson and Kovalev. Dude has his poise. Jackson in general looks a hell of a trainer.

Buddy was great with Tarver n Gatti. Both of those guys seemed to click with him and have their best performances
