I was thinking after the Hatton-Pacquiao fight that the pairing of Ricky and Floyd Mayweather Sr. would be (in hindsight) a very strange part of boxing history and I got to thinking more about some wierd pairings of fighters and trainers, some that worked out and some that didn't.

So list trainer-fighter pairings that were a little strange.

Wladimir Klitschko - Tommy Brooks, Freddie Roach

Lamon Brewster - Buddy McGirt

George Foreman - Angelo Dundee

Mike Tyson - Tommy Brooks, Freddie Roach, Aaron Snowell, Panama Lewis


Anyone else have any fighter-trainer pairings that you think are a little strange?
