I have the book it's pretty good. He also says that Stewart was training other fighters and that may be the reason he wasn't into the training as much as he had thought.
Also, DLH is a very hard worker in the gym but also a fighter that needs to be pushed, wants to be pushed.
He goes on to say that the main reason he thinks Floyd Sr. is the best is because he was such a drill sargent. Even waking him up in the middle of the night and making him go to the gym and work out.
