Comments Thread For: Chad Dawson on Working With Steward To Beat Hopkins

[Boxingwizard]

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

No fighter aside from taller than average HWs will enjoy long term success under the tutelage of Emanuel Steward.

Dawson is setting himself up for a loss messing with Manny. I know he's got all kinds of praise and accolades but I've seen the hand of this man turn talented fighters into stiff robots who overly-rely on their jabs and have no real answer to full on straightforward aggression.

Lewis and the Klitschkos have something that other fighters don't have: Height and longer than average arms to create cushion from which to work from. I've watched as Steward tried to make Prince Naseem fight like Lewis and the results were disastrous.

Only a few stay with Steward long term and there is a very good reason for that. Aside from the HW giants, he's never had another Tommy Hearns, or anything close to him. And even then Hearns was tall for a WW.

We'll see. I really wish Dawson the best and hope that I am wrong.

Only Ingle can train Hamed. Steward is no miracle worker, no trainer is. He's doing good with Andy Lee who is similar to Chad Dawson (converted southpaw). Steward isn't ******, he's not going to try to make Dawson fight like Hearns, Klitschko, or Lewis. He's going to work on Dawson's strength which is his speed and make him use lateral movement more.

his comments were not bad man why cant a brotha love his people?

I'm not even a McNabb fan, but B-Hop has been making racial comments about McNabb consistently for YEARS! Only recently, it became national news. On a radio interview a couple years back i listened to, he said much worse about Donovan than what ESPN caught here recently.

Good luck B-Hop, but I ain't a fan no mo!

I agree that Dawson has never looked as good as he did under Floyd Mayweather Sr.

If Emmanuel Steward tries to turn him into another Klitscho-style robot I don't think it's going to work out too well.

It won't be a problem because Steward WON'T be training Chad Dawson. Not really anyway.
