Seriously, every fight he has something negative to say about Floyd and the way he fights. He always comments during fights how "he can't land anything after the right hand", "never puts any combinations toghter", "just trying to win on points, "doesn't have the meaness of a hearns or leonard", etc...
They're from the same state and both are great legends in the sport, why does he seem to have something aginst FLoyd?
That's an interesting ?....... Idk but Steward sucks anyways..... You either have guys that want to concoct some type of story line to get extra face time (Kellerman,Merchant) or guys that don't know what the hell they are watching (Lampley,Steward)..... I missed the guys that actually used to call the fight and tell you what was going on......
in no era would either manny or floyd be average fighters. if you knew what it meant to be an average fighter, u wouldnt even say that. and u question other ppls boxing knowledge? well i guess its to be expected from a guy who thinks floyd fights like his father, which he doesnt. hes much, much better. closer to his uncle actually, but i digress.
This is what I hate.
People overrate those old school fighters so much that you hear comments about how those guys would easily beat both or have them scared to move above 140.
I dislike Floyd, but I definitely think he holds his own and even beats a lot of the ATG/HOF fighters from back n the day. I also think he loses to some....but I'm starting to get tired of how much people overrate those "old school" fighters in some weak attempt to look like a knowledgeable poster.
Margarito was never elite a day in his life...nor are those other Top Rank Pinatas he's accused of ducking.
The 8 million offer to fight Tony was a MULTI-FIGHT deal..
8 for Tony
6 for Hatton..:lol1:
6 for Cotto...
10 for Oscar...:rofl:
Not being a fool..Floyd rejected that BOGUS offer and countered with his own
8 for Tony..agreed
10 for Hatton
10 for Cotto
20 for Oscar
Arum...RAN to the media and laid this famous egg:
"Mayweather is delusional...sometimes you gotta' know when to hold em' and when to fold em'.....
When Arum rejected his counter-off...
Floyd bought-out his contract and became one of the wealthiest fighters EVER...Leaving Arum the shattered..bitter old FOOL you see today...
THAT is how it REALLY went down..
Margarito is NOTHING to duck..never has been..never will be..:booty:
Watch one of these clowns still try to poke holes in this smh...its a shame that peoples hate blinds them so much when it comes to Floyd. U don't have to like the guy but if u can really say that u don't respect his business move away from TR then u should slap ya self!!
I have to disagree with Floyd never ducked an elite fighter he clearly ducked Antonio Margarito for 2 years.
You can say PBF ducked Margarito if that is how you feel but Margarito was never and never will be ELITE!
I have to disagree with Floyd never ducked an elite fighter he clearly ducked Antonio Margarito for 2 years.
I disagree with that...Marg is not elite, only thing special about him is his chin and heart...jab, straight right, left, hook...pretty much everything else is garbage!!!
That can't be it...Floyd has never ducked an "elite" fighter or any fighter.
NONE of Steward's fighters can fight on the inside..
He didn't help Jermain Taylor....Cotto dumped him...
Manny Steward is overrated as they come.
I have to disagree with Floyd never ducked an elite fighter he clearly ducked Antonio Margarito for 2 years.
NONE of Steward's guys can fight on the inside..
All they can do is fight from a distance....there is no blend of the two...
Hearns didn't even know how to clinch when he needed to..when he got hurt he just stood there smiling..with his hands down by his as.s..
Steward never fought as a pro and is vastly overrated as a trainer and announcer...to listen to him..it's like he barely knows more than Jim Lampley.
I agree...he hates how safe Floyd fights but Wlad is pretty damn safe too!!
Manny probably does have a dislike for PBF whether it be on a personal of professional level. My thing with Manny is when it comes to PBF he is like Merchant with all fighter. That being if PBF doesn't fight the way Manny feels he should fight then he tries to take shine off of what PBF is actually doing. You can't say PBF is not as great as other greats because he doesn't go for KO's that sh!t makes no sense at all. Everybody is not a aggressive I'm going for the KO type of guy. If fighters skills match up then yes a fighter is just as great as another it just some greats have stronger attributes in other areas then other greats.
Real talk...good post
Haha lol at floyd being a winner...a true winner is victorious against all odds while floyd chooses his opponents to which the odds are in his favor. Smh...don't know why the floyd fans don't see this
Name one fighter within his weight boundaries that would be favored over Floyd!!!
If u can't, which I know u can't...then that clearly means that he's in a league of his own and that it wouldn't really impress u with whoever he beat...only way would be by KO...not fair!!!
Lol f**k Steward...not because he has an opinion but because he doesn't respect a winning game plan. Of course we all wish Floyd was more offensive minded but to say he can't get anything off and its like round 2 sounds like hating!! Every fighter has a game plan, so they say...but if 95% of the time ur 1st plan is working, why change? I love KO's but u can see that any where...what u won't see is someone being able to make a good fighter miss damn near every punch, land theirs, adjust when needed and stick to their game plan pretty much to a T!! That's what I appreciate about Floyd, he makes fighters have to be reckless because that's really their only option lol...they have to come out guns blazing just so stupid ppl can say "well he won like 3 early rounds against Floyd" lol training how Floyd does and having that "D" to back up his conditioning gives him supreme confidence and allows him to take his time.
U can say what u want but his formula works, when he starts getting hit with more shots I'm sure he'll switch things up.

The best Emmanuel Steward moment of all time is:
The Dewey Bozella fight. HBO trying to keep the score secret when they show the replay while doing on the fly commentary over the replay.
Jim: Dewey was looking strong here wasn't he.
Emmanuel: Yeah. I was surprised he actually went on to win and almost knock the guy out in the last round.
Jim: Right. Well...nobody has seen that yet.
Because Manny Steward is frankly a terrible commentator and has nothing to say.
8/10 fights every round he say's "Fighter A just looks so strong and fast to me, compared to fighter B"
In Mayweather fights he repeats the same thing over and over and over.
It's not really to do with hate I don't think. It's more to do with simply being a terrible commentator.
He was clearly displeased with how the Ortiz fight ended, as was I. I mean, your dominating a guy and your faking a hug to knock the guy out when he doesnt know hes fighting 'whoopdy doo' look how awesome I am, nobody in the crowd is happy but I still going to act like everythings normal. Anyway,He expects more from fighters than alot people do and yes, Floyd is very sensitive and seeking of universal approoval.
I never saw it as hate tbh... a lot his comments are very valid and I don't know why Floyd is so sensitive to it? I really believe something happened between them behind the scenes and not because of Stewart's commentary a lone. I mean I understand the hate towards Merchant but Emmanuel is very balanced when commentating a Floyd fight.
And Top Rank I'm pretty sure that's what you feel.. and you're using Emmanuel as a channel to voice that. Either that or you're over thinking the whole thing.
very well said....
as a commentator with more deeper understanding of the game than other commentators e.s. has the right to say it straight as he sees it...
he is not one to sugar coat his comments and that is why he is a respected fight commentator/analyst
floyd gayfeather is no better than the common street thug who sells crack to poor people and takes there last 10 dollars for food. He is a lowlife scumbag and a homothug who suks 50 cents cok on a regular. I have zero respect for gayfeather his team and his fganbase they all could eatadicup. manny is a respected guy in the industry floyd is not. manny has been involved in some of the most exciting fights floyd has never had a exciting fight just a drama quuen. The real uncle tom bell hop negro is floyd. sitting on that bed with wack pop star 50 cent talking into money, what a f-ing lowlife clown.
