Best trainer, living or dead?

[roberto duran legend]

Ray Arcel and Eddie Futch, quality. Anything these guys dont know is not worth knowing.

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.

I wouldn't argue with anyone's picks, but look at the list of pro fighters Ignacio Beristain trained, they are almost all champions plus 4 or 5 are in the Hall of Fame. He's amazing, and in my opinion, head and shoulders above the rest.
I'm watching Virgil Hunter, I want to see what he does with Khan and Angulo.

Said it once, twice three four and 100 times...

"Nacho", Dundee, Arcel and "Pee Wee" for my likings in that order.

"Pepe" Correa that screwed Lennox Lewis?

[roberto duran legend]

No one ever ever mentions Freddie Brown, he was a master of his trade.

[chinchekked]

Futch, Arcel, Nacho, D'Amato, Benton, Roach......all are good, but if I HAD to pick one I would say Futch.

[IamInuit]

I'll stick with Benton. Father of the shoulder roll. Trained Evander, Meldrick, Sweet Pea and McCallum. Studied under Futch.

Agreed Eddie Futch would be a dream to have you train, that knowledge stretched back to Joe Loius era. Emanuel Steward has that knowledge and pedigree.

[jon09]

Eddie Futch to me is an all time great trainer. Paved the road and took the 0 from Ali, Roy Jones and Holyfield. Has a deeper resume but those stand out the most to me.

Bill Miller. Trained Toney, Emmanuel Stewart (as an amateur) and was the real guy behind Kronk.
