Lunch w. Emanuel Steward last week - What's your take on Lee?

I do some marketing work for the Kronk Boxing brand with Emanuel Steward's daughter. Recently I got to have lunch with him and we started talking about Andy Lee. He adamantly said that Andy was really sick the night of the Brian Vera fight and he was out of it. It is not surprising to hear this from a trainer who's fighter just lost, but Emanuel is a genuine and honest guy. I went back and watched some video on Lee's fights and he looked pretty explosive. In the Vera fight he was slow, flat-footed and lethargic something that was not evident in any prior fight. What do you guys think, does he have something? Was he sick? Andy Lee worth talking about? By the way he also said that Vera won't give him a rematch, probably a good idea on his part.
