    I mean take Chickie Ferrera for example I think he's VASTLY underrated. He def. has an arguement as the GOAT.
    The two names of Ali and SRL cant be argued with IMO. Thats two top 10 fighters in history. Im not sure anyone else has that.

    I must check.
    thought pepe careera trained SRL?

    Preme, you mean Pepe Correa.
    Correa also trained: Lennox, Duran and Simon Brown.
    You are right he did train SRL at one point.

    But Angelo was SRL pro trainer since the beggining of his career.

    angelo came in to 'finish' leonard just before his bouts.

    dave jacobs took him as a raw 14-year-old and taught him everything. jacobs was there while dundee came in and added the finishing touches.



    what about freddie roach?

    From Sports Illustrated, December 8, 1980:

    WHERE WERE THEY?
    Do trainers really train fighters anymore? Lost in all the furor over Roberto Duran 's famous bellyache (page 24) are the performances of Ray Arcel and Freddie Brown , whose job it was to get Duran ready for the biggest fight of his career. Where were they when Duran reached for that extra steak, when he gulped his orange juice? How could they have let him go through such a severe weight-reduction regimen so close to fight time and then blow himself up hours before the bell sounded? Where was that steady hand on the wrist...? "No, Roberto, no more...." Once upon a time trainers used to lock themselves in with their warriors for days before a big fight. They'd monitor every morsel of food that crossed the table, every whiff of cigarette smoke that entered the room.
    Where was the famous Angelo Dundee when Muhammad Ali was popping all those thyroid pills and burning the weight off so drastically before he went into the Larry Holmes fight a zombie? And how about the first Leon Spinks fight in 1978? Ali admitted he hadn't trained for that one, but you wouldn't have known it from his trainer. At Ali 's workout two days before the bout, Dundee could be heard telling a few skeptical writers, " Ali 's sharp as a razor for this one. I've never seen him so sharp."

    Eddie Futch is the only high profile trainer that I believe deserves mentioning.
