    Who in your opinion is Manny Steward's greatest ever fighter?

    He's trained many champions at lots of different weights, at differing points in their careers.

    For me, there are 3 that have a legitimate claim for being his greatest ever fighter:

    Wladimir Klitschko
    Lennox Lewis
    Thomas Hearns

    Whilst the 2 guys at HW are amoungst the greatest at the weight there have ever been, for me, it's The Hitman without question.

    The first 5 division champion (I don't count his Cruiserweight trinket as a legit belt), with an elite level skill set, devastating power (especially at the lower weights), fantastic hand speed and although it's not an achievement, the ATG staredown champ to boot.

    Who do you guys think is Manny's greatest fighter?

    :good

    Same order as me, although if Wlad continues at current levels for another couple of years, he'll be running them close I think.

    Reading the boards, some people have a different opinion it seems, that's all.

    I mean, I agree with you, but it would appear others don't.

    Hearns is top 30 p4p ATG while Lewis should be comfortably outside of top 50 and Wlad outside of top 80

    Hearns

    Mclellan would've been greater than Lennox if he stuck with Manny
