Could Eddie Futch or Emanuel Stewart make Wilder more technically sound?

[BoxingOutlaw]

Or is Wilder just this kind of fighter.

[REDEEMER]

Steward could transform any heavyweight better if they had Lewis type dimensions . The challenge would be would Wilder listen to him ,he runs his camp not his trainers and it isn't supposed to be like that at all and wilder is what you would call a hard listener . Ha

i'm sure they could tighten him up a bit, but he 100% won't be turning into pernell whitaker or even jermain taylor. especially when he's got a guy hurt, or when he's hurt or tired himself, he will revert to what he knows.

even those guys wouldn't be able to convince wilder that he needs to change until he was on his back and knocked out. he has too much confidence in his power. he's got 41 knockouts and he stopped every opponent he's faced.

and even then, once you convince him he needs to change, it will be hard task turning a guy that big and lanky into a pure boxer in his mid 30's. without a doubt he's hit his peak and we know the only reason he got this far. the man has freakish, once in a generation power, and he's 6.5 feet tall.

Might discipline his style a bit, but nothing makes him happy than a KO. If he wins a unaminous decision it’s meh fight for him

he's 34 years old man. you're not going to change much. he's only going to take a few more major fights. maybe a tune up or a mandatory here and there, but expect a rematch with fury, a fight with joshua, maybe a fight with ruiz, and if he loses you'll get a "comeback trail."

way less than 10 fights, not nearly enough to make huge changes in a 34 year old fighter.

I think the thread is actually saying would Steward be able to produce a better Wilder from the beginning but it would nt matter he would be able to get a better game plan at any time for even one fight. Did you forget Holyfield defeated Bowe just once with Steward in his corner ? Steward is one of the great trainers of all time and that came with a loud voice of instructions, not whispering like Breland brings.

[The Problem]

Nope.. too tall and lanky, started boxing too late at 19 years old.

[Larry the boss]

I doubt it..kinda hard for dead people to train anyone

Lennox Lewis disagrees

[sicko]

Absolutely! Futch of course trained like 4 of the 5 guys who beat Ali...now of course Holmes and Berbick beat a OLD Washed Up Ali but he also Trained Norton and Frazier who beat a more PRIME Ali so yeah Futch would've done a great job with Wilder

Of course we know what Manny Steward would do with him. EVERYBODY out of Kronk had a EXCELLENT JAB, one of Wilder Current Trainers Mark Breland is out of Kronk and many believe had one of the greatest jabs ever. So yeah Steward would've LOVED to work with Wilder I'm sure with that size and Length

I think Wilder did BETTER at being more PATIENT and Less Wild on Saturday despite losing most of those Rounds until the Knockout. I think that style of Wilder is more Dangerous actually. So despite the CRITICS I do think he should continue to fight that way. Maybe throw more Jabs to the Body and mix things up more.
