Answer 9

Well lets start off by getting the true meaning in gym terms for trainer/coach which are two different types.

I will score a couple of well known trainers on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being best.

Freddie Roach is an excellent "coach", he gives great instructions & knows how to take his opponents apart. As far as training a fighter, he really doesn't do this. All of his fighters were already made but can work with anytype of fighter.

Coaching ability - 10 - Training ability - 5 (only because he doesn't actually train fighters) Im sure he could.

Nacho Berenstien - Excellent Trainer & Coach but is more  suited for a slower more methodical type of fighter (boxer/puncher). He can make good fighters & he gives good advise as a coach.

Coaching ability - 9 - Training Ability - 9

Roger Mayweather - is good trainer but is more of a hype man. He pumps his fighters up rather then give them good advice on how to dissect his opponent. He also, like Nacho is catered to one style of fighter, a speedy slick fighter with lots of movement. Those are his type of fighters.

Coaching ability - 7 - Training ability - 9  

Emmanuel Steward - Is another Freddie Roach type coach very intelligent but doesn't spend enough time anymore but has done some good things with fighters.

Coaching ability - 10 - Training Ability - 9 only because he doesn't put in much work anymore with fighters.

Now that you got my meanings on "coach & trainer" here goes my list from best to worst.

Best Coaches/trainers



Emanuel Steward - #1

Freddie Roach - #2

Nacho Beranstien - #3

Rudy Perez - Marco Antonio Barrera very good

Joe Goossen - #4

Jimmy Montoya - #5

After these guys you have guys that are good like,

Eddie Mustafa, Jesse Reed & so on.

Montoya had Salvador Sanchez, Hector Comacho, Tony Beltazar & lots of other fighters who made it big but many years ago.

Also remember these are only the guys we know today, Buddy is decent at best but was a great fighter.

Answer 10

Emanuel Steward

Freddie Roach

those are prolly the best and most popular trainers of this era.

Answer 11

There seem to be guys no one has ever heard of - that turn their whole communities around..so here's a vote for the clint eastwood types.

Answer 12

I think Emmanuel Stewart gets better results from the boxers he trains. I would say he is one of the premier trainers of the day.

Answer 13

I would want Teddy Atlas or Floyd Mayweather Sr why becasue both guys are tough trainers. They yell and scream and thats what i need someone thats going to yell and push me i couldnt have a nice guy tranier

Answer 14

if i were a boxer and to choose one today i would probably go with buddy mcgirt.

Answer 15

I would probably pick teddy Atlas of Roger Mayweather, but the most important thing is finding a trainer who understands your style and trains you to improve it.

Answer 16

Floyd Mayweather Sr

Roger Mayweather

Freddie Roach

Emanuel Steward

Answer 17

I can't pick just one, but here are a few that I think are really good:

Floyd Mayweather, Sr.

Roger Mayweather

Jeff Mayweather

Freddie Roach

Emmanuel Steward

Buddy McGirt (hasn't been doing well lately though)

Eddie Mustapha Muhammad

John David Jackson

Ronnie Shields

Nacho Beristain

Rudy Perez

Kevin Cunningham

Teddy Atlas (hasn't trained anyone in a while)

Joe Goosen
