Emanuel Steward, former trainer of Lennox Lewis and current trainer of WBO/IBO/IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko, told reporters that Lewis is the best heavyweight that he ever trained. But, if Wladimir defeats WBA champion David Haye on Saturday in Hamburg, Germany, Steward believes the experts will start comparing Wladimir to Lewis. Steward's former student, Lewis, doesn't agree and feels that he's accomplished a lot more than Wladimir - at least up to this point.
"I wouldn't agree with that because Ive done a lot more than Wladimir right now. But, this is a fight where Wladimir has put everything together. He has to believe in himself and listen to Emanuel Steward. He has to put everything together because we've been waiting for so long to get a good fight from Wladimir and hopefully this is a good fight and we'll see all of his talent come out," Lewis said.
