Coaches must be fighters, yes, they must have had to fight yes, but champions?
No.
Roach would probably be the best choice for trainer and potential champ ( he never won but fought for the championship twice I think).
Rooney also had a great pro career.
Dundee never fought for example.
Neither did D'amato.
There's also Teddy Atlas.
