Remembering Manny Steward

http://www.fopsobserver.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/mannysteward..png On October 25th, 5 years ago the US lost the last atg trainer in Boxing. How the years go by and I often think of how Manny would change a fighter into something truly great. Just wanted to take a minute to celebrate Stewards memory and everything he gave us. Salut!

Legend of the sport. Called it as he saw it, Always remember how unimpressed he was with Hameds preparation leading upto barrera, Didn't care one bit about telling the media either.

I had a great deal of respect for this guy. WAS NOT afraid to call out ped USERS EITHER..ON PUBLIC TELEVISION. I remember when he noticed the punch resistance increase in chavez Jr. Called him out for roids pretty hard. It seems realistic chVES WAS LIKELY ON ROIDS EARLY IN HIS CAREER

Steward was always gracious and respectable and said how he felt! His impact on the game was huge!. Wished guys like Postol, Broner, and Glen Tapia could've gotten a hold of him!

8y ago

Here ya go Frankie. "Relax, I will try" "NO WLAD. I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER BULLSH.T DECISION" lololol Manny and Wlad's relationship was great. Wlad was always so calm and Manny was like a firecracker in that corner

Little known fact, Steward was the first person to try and sign RJJ. RJJ was going to sign but his Mother asked Roy to give his Father a chance.

Here ya go Frankie. "LET YOUR F.CKING HANDS GO JERMAINE!" hahaha. He was so awesome man. I would have loved to meet him in person

8y ago

Loved him as a trainer, loved him as a commentator. I cried when he passed. He was awesome! Still watch him on Youtube tearing Klitschko and Tayloy new *******s in the corner :lol1: "I DON'T WANT ANOTHER BULLSH.T DECISION, WLAD!" Here ya go Frankie.

He is a legend! IMO, Wlad would have beat both Fury and AJ if he had Manny in his corner. I cannot stress enough how important he was to both Lennox and Wlad.

God Bless you Manny. You get a sense of how respected and loved he was by reading what his fighters said about him.

Great trainer. Miss him on HBO. Yeah man his voice was the perfect commentators voice. Legendary trainer too of course.
