The Taylor/Manny gameplan

it doesn't matter what Manny woulda have said Taylor wouldn't have listened

Ive always thought and still do think that Manny is the most overrated trainer of all time. The only guy he ever really brought up was Hearns and he was just a straight up freak anyway. All the other great guys Manny ever had are already great and most of the time are champs when he takes over. To me he doesnt make any of them that much better and half the time it doesnt look like there better at all. His guys lose or get exposed alot also. As for the fight tonight, I also think Spinks southpaw style gave Taylor a ton of trouble. He's faced Lefty's before but all of them were guys who come straight at you. Its nothing like facing a guy like Spinks. The main problem though is that Taylor is just highly uncoordinated so it doesnt really matter what you teach him because he doesnt have the coordination to do it properly. He'll just have to get by on his natural physical attributes of speed & power

It has always seemed to me that Manny has been better for heavier fighters than smaller fighters. His style suits HW the best. Taylor has all the physical tools you could ask for, but he fights like a big, clubbing HW.

Yeah, Taylor should have hired you.

Actually... I can't think of a single Manny fighter that does at least OKAY body work.
