Ozell Nelson to Train Jermain Taylor

Trainer Ozell Nelson will assume the head trainer duties for former middleweight champion Jermain Taylor, replacing Hall of Famer Emanuel Steward. Nelson was Taylor's amateur coach and was a key camp member throughout Taylor's career. "Manny is a great coach, a Hall of Famer," Nelson told the Arkansas ********-Gazette. "I very much respect Emanuel Steward. But I feel like things were going real good in training camp, but when we got to the fight, there was a communication problem. I don't know why there were the breakdowns [during the fights]. Sometimes fighters and trainers just don't click."

Thoughts?

They need Pat Burns and I sound like a broken record already. I've been saying that since the Winky fight.

Taylor should've never hired that money loving overrated Manny Steward, he ****ed up Taylor and don't ****ing tell me Taylor does not listen to Manny, that's Manny's ****ing fault not Taylor's.

Taylor actually listend to Pat Burn, bring him back.

I think if Taylor actually LISTENED to Steward during a fight, he might not have looked so bad in his last 3 fights.

I know Ozell Nelson is like a father to Taylor but it's time to fire Ozell Nelson, this is the same idiot who fired Pat Burns and Hired that money loving Steward.

That's Stewards fault, if your fighter is not listining to you then I guess you're not doing your job. Taylor always listened to Pat Burns.

I agree. They should have gone back to Pat Burns. Ozell Nelson has been giving Taylor some bad advice. I think his chances in the rematch with Pavlik has dropped considerably now. Not that there was much of a chance of him winning anyways.

I thought Manny was gonna walk out on him in the Spinks fight lol
