Comments Thread For: Chad Dawson: I Left Emanuel Steward To Be The Old Me

[uoykcuf]

Scully is a good trainer and Dawson is comfortable with him. As a hopkins fan I was hoping he would stick with Steward and do his timid jab and stay on the outside style. At the end of the day if there isn't any chemistry between fighter and trainer, it's not a good fit.

This is what I agree with. Have some green k.

It's also about grooming talent and bring it along,which is something Stewart has done that Roach has not..

Exctly.

Robert Garcia a better trainer than Steward? Are you on crack?

All time? No. As of now? Yes.

Like I said Steward is a part time trainer these days. What he's done in the past is a HALL OF FAME CAREER as a trainer, no one can touch that. But there is a difference from what he did back in the day compared to what he's doing today. Comprende?

awww..bad idea. That's what BErnard wants, to go all out on him and Ko him.

The Racket Squad: Sad Chad

Lousy move on Dawson's part. The E man knows how Bernard thinks, acts and most importantly, reacts at his advanced age. He would have remained invaluable to the eratic Chad.
Another example of bad choices made by a good light heavy but a guy who lacks the heart of a Matthew Saad Muhammad, Bob Foster or even Mike Rossman.

B-Hop by unanimous decision

If Chad tries to knockout Bernard, Chad is gonna find himself on the canvas!!

dawson is a dumb azz... why don't he wanna train in the kronk? does dawson think he's so famous that he can dictate to steward where and when he fights? is he mad cause steward goes to florida to train cotto and goes to germany to train wlad???

[bakunin]

The truth is problably that Steward knew what he needed from Dawson to beat Hopkins and Dawson needed to be pushed to his limits and he didn't like it so he took the easy way out and fired Steward.

Seriously, Dawson is in for a serious beating...

[dblaze9]

When I run all the scenarios of how this fight will play out...I just don't think Chad Dawson can beat Hopkins. It may be close in the beginning, but when Hopkins gets warmed up, Dawson will be made-to-order for Hopkins style. You'll see... Emanual Steward wouldn't have changed that.

im not a big fan of stewart yes he's a legend yes he's a great hall of fame trainer but sometimes he isn't a good match for his fighter

look at jermain taylor for example they clashed and i thought dawson trying to be more offensive in his last fight which is what manny stewart wanted made him more available to be hit

dawson has always been abit vulnerable he was got knockdown by adamek and was buzzed bad in the first fight with glen johnson (in all fairness glen has buzzed many opponents in the past just ask roy jones or alan green) but for the most part is a very good defensive fighter and i personally don't see this being a walkover for hopkins like some think

if chad boxes smart and is aggressive when he needs to be he could slide out with a close decision

it's never easy to beat hopkins but taylor did it and he is no where near as good as chad

i didn't like what i saw from dawson in his last fight he's not a big puncher i don't think it's wise for him to go for knockouts when he could just as easily win a decision

the name of the game is hit and not be hit dawson has the athletic abilities to make that style work for him and if he just lets his hands go a little bit more he can become a real force in the division again

i still think he's biggest test will be cloud though and not hopkins but thats just me
