Emanuel Steward's fighters

[mrrupo]

If only Taylor would LISTEN to Emanuel Steward, I believe his last fights would have been much different. Hopefully his last fight will force him to do so.

Yes. He finally listened to the "let your hands go" part of what manny tells him (though, that could have been the southpaw thing before this fight), but he still drops his hands, and he finally fought a guy that took major advantage of that. Let your hands go and keep your hands in front of your face... not the most profound advice, but it works most of the time, if your fighter listens. Taylor has the tools to be GREAT, just needs to break bad habbits.

Yeah maybe they just didnt match!!!

If the trainer did his job by giving instruction he cant force the fighter to go by it. Manny is not overrated is more of him and Talyor not getting along but coach and trainer also do make mistakes. At the end they are human.\


I would say he is overrated if he gives useless instruction in not one fight but many fighters and his fighters are doing as he instructed accurately but no result then that is overrated.

I agree Steward is in no way a suitable trainer for Taylor, however Steward did wonderful jobs on Klitschko, Hearns and I was incredibly suprised with Cintron when he fought Matthyse. If Taylor wanted a high profile trainer I'd say he'd have to go with Buddy McGirt or maybe even Mayweather. Steward changes his boxer's styles to be more mobile and counterpunch a lot. Two things JT isn't good at, and hasn't exercised a lot ever since he's been with Steward. McGirt has the same strategic mind Steward has but he's more known for maximizing his fighters' given skills, just like he did with Tarver, the only time he tried to change a fighter's style was with Gatti but Gatti was a natural brawler more so than a boxer.

McGirt, I think, would help improve Taylor's jab, handspeed, aggressiveness and power. Taylor is good at being the first to engage in a fight, something McGirt likes his fighters to do

I've said Steward was overrated quite a few times before the the Taylor-Pavlik fight, you could even see the posts, that had nothing to do with my reasoning.

Manny did a decent job with Jermaine, but essentialy there styles don't mix. Jermaine just didn't have the passion anymore, he's a great fighter but once you get all that money & you have a trainer who is already rich, you loose that grittiness. Like jesus Jermain "keep your hands up"

I do think its rediculous to state that manny is the best trainer now. He has been given great fighters in Wlad & Jermaine. I commend what he did i his early years with Tommy hearns, but even hearns had trouble winning the big fights, hagler, leonard,barkley (2ce) Manny is still a legendary trainer, i just think he may get a lil to much credit
