The only reason why Icy has the assignment is because Chad is too lazy to travel, it has nothing to do with Steward skill.
You cannot compare Icy to Emmanuel Steward....Icy will never be in the boxing HOF.

Dawson doesn't a want a trainer who will ask him to be more aggresive by letting go his hands. Dawson doesn't like to fight in wars, he wants to fight like Mayweather. Will it work against Hopkins ? No.
Scully won't be the one to blame if Dawson doesn't adjust to the experienced Hopkins.

Manny has always overrated Trainer. All dude does is try to make everybody fight lime hearns. I can't knock what he does for the game of boxing but dude isn't that great as a trainer.
With that said it don't mAtter who the trainer is if Chad keeps doing the **** that he does. Like I'm a fan but I sit back and watch him and I'm like "WTF is wrong with this *****"

maybe it will be a good thing maybe a bad thing, course he is fighting Bernard Hopkins so it might not matter at all. To me Dawsons biggest problem in this fight is the fact that he doesnt have the style to trouble Hopkins, he's got the skills but not the right style. He's likely not going to be the one pressing the pace, like Calzaghe did and even then Calzaghe barely won that fight and in some people's eyes the fight should have been a draw. He's likely not going to be the better counter puncher or mover. What he does have over Hopkins is youth and maybe a little more power, hand speed I think is about equal. I honestly see Hopkins getting a careful UD or maybe even knocking chad down and getting a stoppage late. Dawson to me needs to not let the genie out of the bottle and hurt Hopkins early to keep Hopkins from gaining momentum.
