    Steward was both manager and trainer for Hearns so of course he got more than just a trainer. Learn the sport ******.

    Kind of like the last great white hope from Britain, Audley Harrison.

    My thoughts as well. Maybe Wilder too if he lands but he throws extremely wide shots.

    No HOF trainer works for free now do they? Steward earned his money according to his ability as a trainer.

    Of course I know he was both manager and trainer, but if you know the sport then you'll also know the stories about Manny's greed. Emanuel was the type of person to advice a once great champion to come out of retirement.. Obviously to him it was all about the money.

    Scott and Jennings would have a decent shot and I wouldn't be too surprised if one of them could pull it off.

    Wilder would learn the hard way, like Price did, that relying on a big punch to knock out Thompson isn't necessarily a good idea just because Wlad could KO him twice. I'd feel comfortable betting on a Thompson knockout if that fight happens in the near future.

    Price is a really nice, humble guy and it took an awful lot guts for him to get right back in there with Thompson after suffering such a humiliating loss the first time round. The psychological pressure he would've been under tonight must've been immense and I definitely think it depleted his energy reserves a lot quicker than normal.

    I'm not even a fan of his or anything but I really feel for him losing in front of his home fans like that again. Some of the things people are saying about him in this thread are way out of order. Really spiteful and heartless. I could understand if he was a bit of a **** or something, but like I said earlier he's actually an extremely personable, humble and likeable chap.
