eddie futch
emanuel steward
cus d'amato
angelo dundee
jack blackburn
ray arcel
gil clancey
charlie goldman

hell i could go on and on
there were some great trainers

Panama Lewis
Nacho Berinstein(?)
Lou Duva

Lewis a great trainer?

who is the best? or top 3?

Charlie Goldman, without question, and he was also one hell of a boxer in his own time too.

Freddie Brown and George Benton were great.

I dunno about angelo. Ali and Leonard had a ton of natural talent

As as I saw this thread again, I knew someone would say something like this about Dundee. It happens every time.
People don't seem to realize all of the fighters that he trained.
Jimmy Ellis was a struggling middleweight before Dundee joined him. Ellis went on to win the WBA heavyweight title.
Wille Pastrano wasn't particularly talented yet with Dundee he won the light heavyweight title. Carmen Basilio wasn't exactly a superior natural talent either.

Al Silvani, Jackie McCoy are a couple more. Of course I mentioned in another thread how much I respected Pat and Goody Petronelli. They were tremendous.

He had a gym full of great fighters and didn't just bark orders of punches to throw he was more of an intellectual coach and great motivator!!

angelo was indeed one of the great trainers - put him in my list
