Stewart Extremely Mean to Vitaliy

[PBDS]

Emanuel still needs to look professional on TV. If he has questions, he needs to be honest. When you're a promoter, you can be biased and not look silly. When you're a commentator being paid for analysis, you need to be real.

I don't think he was being mean; all the commentators seemed to agree - Vitali still hasn't completely separated himself from the other heavyweights.

And here's the thing - if he fights another lardass whose only quickness is his hands, he still won't. He really needs a KO over a quick, respected name fighter.

And I'm not saying he won't do it.

In fact, Nautilus, if Vitali can KO Hasim Rahman (I mean a legitimate, Hasim's on the ground out or looking for his mouthpiece or writhing in pain), I'll give you a million points. And Neuraxis, too (yes, I've got it).

....You stand corrected because after the fight Manny said he did seperate himself from the rest. And one of those "other" commentators was Lennox Lewis so enough said.

[Pno]

manny was getting paid last night to be a commentator...
that was a comment.
was he being paid last night for being a trainer?

He prolly talked in advance with VK about how he has to do his job and things like that will be said, but really and truly he still loves him and always holds a place in his heart for him or something like that

LOL

Pno

I wouldn't say "stand corrected". After all, if it was as simple as you say, Nautilus wouldn't have started the thread.

Emanual told me a year before he got his wish, that the one fighter he wished he could train was Klitschko. I think everyone will see a gradual change in how Vitali fights, he now has a Hall Of Fame Trainer in Manny Steward, he knows more about boxing and it's history than any of us will EVER know!

[QueenCity]

manny is just stating the truth and it hurts some

Bingo, he's paid to tell it like he sees it

i'm thinking this thread was started during the pre-fight hype prior to the fight anyway, when they were all discussing it. Then post-fight they asked if the fight had changed anything, and Manny was less derogatory at that point.

So you stand corrected.

a good trainer is always truthful and tough on the one he is training.
no reason to coddle him, unless you want him to loose.

...Your comments were pre-fight? Alright I will buy that. Now you must also agree at this point since you were backing the opinion of the commentators in the first place, that they are right in saying Vitali is the man now. If you come back with some lame **** about Byrd or Ruiz than you no longer have any credibility when it comes to the heavies IMO.

This isn't the first time Steward has dogged his own fighter. He did that to Lennox Lewis after Lewis retired. Frankly, the guy has little credibility now. Nice to your face and dogs you when you aren't around.
