Emmanuel Steward is pretty harsh

People take Steward's work with Taylor too seriously. Its pretty obvious that Taylor has a huge problem with listening. He'll look at you and say yes sir then go right back to fighting the wrong fight. Wladimir is a machine. Cintron looks scary. Andy Lee has potential to be a star. This didnt happen by accident. i agree 100% steward is right behind roach in the best trainer category

manny even dislikes floyd also for whatever reason....Manny Steward hating on 2 of the best boxing technicians today...that doesn't sound right

I think the top boxing world is more tight knit then we think. Steward almost has personal problems with some fighters so he bad mouths them on the air. But like it or not Hopkins is one the best of our era. Should he retire? I think so, but I would like to see him finally put his stamp on RJJ before he goes out. The fight makes sense, more sense than RJJ-Trinidad

I guess no one caught Stewart saying that the first fighters of the PPV(the first one of the card with the dude with the cuts) were hitting as hard as modern heavyweights.It got quiet for a split second with the commentating after that.

Roy Jones is a good commetator Lennox sometimes give good tips on the fight and how it going on. like in the Taylor-Winky he said thatTaylor should have raised his gaurd early in the fight and in Rahman-Olge he said Rahman has a good jab that he should be using it.

He said that neither of these fighters can everfight fight a meaningful fight again and that they are just stepping stones now. Isn't it possible that the two of the most technical fighters in the game made each other look bad cause they are just that good. Yes, I think he needs to wait for them to fail somewhwere, or how, to make a statement like that. The eyes can lie.. His ego was talking.

How anyone could prefer Lennox over Manny is beyond me. Lennox is beyond awful.

he was a great amateur i believe and his commentating is quite good as well... who would you rather have Max or lennox??? he is a good replacement for Foreman and Roy!!! who else is out there that could explain the fights as good??? i'm all ears Actually Max and Lennox is a better combination cuz they talk about the fight... Jim Lampley talks about other stuff (Bengals concert and woman) and he jumps on the popular bandwagon a lot....Steward is either extremely negative or extremely nuthugging fighters that fight like a Rocky movie...like a little kid almost... Lennox and MAx are a younger duo and stick to boxing from different angles...Max was talking about how Wright jumped up in weight, B-Hop's age, the legitimacy of the a light-heavyweight fight at a catch weight of 170...Chad Dawson... Steward is on that Larry Merchant level sometimes...dissing his own sport O using the word boring so many times along with Lampley and Merchant....you dont hear that on UFC even if it is boring....Steward disses fights and fighters a lot... Lennox shows some enthusiasm and knowledge and gets better and better...

This thread is about Steward's commentating... He sounds like an old uncle sitting on the couch watching a fight he doesn't want to watch cuz they aren't doing what fighters in the 80's did.... As far as a trainer...he sounds like a real asshole to me.... like a football coach that never played football...or an officer never enlisted... Buddy and Freddy get more props cuz they fought pretty well... he was a great amateur i believe and his commentating is quite good as well... who would you rather have Max or lennox??? he is a good replacement for Foreman and Roy!!! who else is out there that could explain the fights as good??? i'm all ears

I don't think Hopkins looked terrible. Its hard to look good against Winky and it was hard for Winky to look good against Hops. Just a bad style match up like you said^ it true and well said. it hard to look good against a southpaws in general. Keep in Mind that Taylor is Steward's fighter... Bias opinions may come into play here Stewards trained Jermian after the Hopkins fight

give it up... Steward should never be compared to Buddy... Steward takes raw boxers and teaches them how to box like a pro come back to reality p.s. Steward is on the money all day This thread is about Steward's commentating...

Just like Antonio said on the first page Steward has never shown Bernard much respect. I don't think he considers Hopkins as a great middleweight. And Jermain is Steward's fighter. Who knows.

Steward needs to retire...if it's not Hatton or Gatti he's not watching... his fighters along with trainer Buddy lose all the time to Roach..... give it up... Steward should never be compared to Buddy... Steward takes raw boxers and teaches them how to box like a pro come back to reality p.s. Steward is on the money all day

I also believe Steward said he wanted to see them both just retire. Or at the very least avoid fighting each other again like the plague. Steward needs to retire...if it's not Hatton or Gatti he's not watching... his fighters along with trainer Buddy lose all the time to Roach.....

Haven't they broken up yet? I know their contract expired. Not sure what happens next, Maybe Manny wants a renewal and one way of doing it is by bringing down Hopkins :dunno: LOL

steward has been hard on winky for a while and any fight fan could be hard on b-hop they just want him to lose and vanish so bad, but it hasn't happened

Stewart can say what he wants. Fact is, Hopkins did what he couldn't train his fighter to do. Must suck, but it's true.
