Trainers loyalty

[FightNight 2007]

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.

word? how u kno

I think Pavlik would benefit very much from being trained by Manny. Who knows, he might even learn what "defense" means.

Pavlik doesnt need the Bull**** that Steward brings to the table. He's better than that and leeches like Steward should get exposed for what they are.

An oppurtunistic leech.

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 ****ing 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 ****s 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.

A trainer and fighter must "gel" together or it's a waste of time.

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.

Pavlik will always be with Jack Lowe. I don't see him leaving him. Just like Winky and Dan Birmingham.

The guys been with Pavlik since the day he stepped into the gym, and the just won THE middleweight championship of the world.

Like Pavlik said, where were you guys 5 years ago?
