    • Everyone has a weakness. The weakness of Muhammad Ali was Eddie Futch.

      Five men defeated Ali, and four of them (Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, Larry Holmes, and Trevor Berbick) were trained by Futch. A master tactician, Futch studied his charges opponents meticulously, and there were few trainers you wanted in your corner for a big fight more than Futch.

      Futch also worked with Riddick Bowe, Marlon Starling, Montell Griffin, and Alexis Arguello.

      We are proud to nominate Eddie Futch for the United States Athletic Hall of Fame.
