Wow.. there seems to be a lot of selling Manny Steward short on this thread. I guess he hasn't trained countless worl champions, most of whom he trained from the beginning of their careers. I must have been wrong this whole time.
Yeah like Taylor benefited. Get real! Jermain got caught into the hype of Manny and let go a very, very good trainer in Pat Burns. They had chemistry, yuo could see Taylor was beaming with confidence in his first big fight against Hopkins. Since Manny got on board, Taylor's lost a lot of confidence in his abilities to perform. Manny won't teach Pavlik anything new except holding.
As you say, chemistry is important.. so maybe taylor and manny dont have chemistry (or conversly, perhaps you're just too quick to jump on the Taylor hater band wagon??), i dont fucking know. Maybe Pavlik and Manny would have chemistry. Maybe they wouldnt. My point is Pavlik has holes in his game. He's a tall fighter and Manny has had success with tall fighters. He trained Hearns and LL for fucks sake. Manny is a respected trainer and he may be able to improve Pavlik's game.. or maybe not. Like any one of us really knows.
It wouldn't suprise me if he did, it would be pretty interesting after the rematch you have Jermain sparring with Kelly to get each other ready for fights since they have the same trainer. Kelly is a loyal fighter though, he won't leave the man that brought him up to where he is now.
He ain't getting him though. Pavlik's too smart for leaches like that.
I think Pavlik would benefit very much from being trained by Manny. Who knows, he might even learn what "defense" means.
Manny Stewart called Pavlik up to be his trainer. Do you think this wrong and disloyal to Jermaine? .....Manny has become a fan of kelly.
says the guy with 2 posts....
source?
I bet you as soon as Steward saw Pavlik back Jermain into the corner one minute into round 1 with a 3-2 his dick got wet. Pavlik might be the perfect fighter for Steward. It wouldnt surprise me at all if he goes after him, or already did.
Pavlik is a bit tall. Manny specializes in training tall fighters and he would surely tighten up Pavlik's game.
That said, it is a pretty low blow to Taylor if it's true.
I don't think Manny is that low. But ya never know? I know one thing. Manny dosen't like Taylor. Never did. Taylor needs Pat Burns back in his camp/corner. Pat likes the kid. It's hard to train a fighter you don't get along with. I've been there.
