No. never happen. Ruddock went through a ton of different trainers. And I sure do not see Manny putting up with the guy or wanting his brother Delroy in any Kronk gym for too long.
Ruddock has a way of his own. Once he discovered he had power, any thoughts of using his jab went out of the window. Wouldn't matter who was in the corner.
Who was Donovan’s best trainer ? I say janks morton!!! He should have kept him !! Floyd was horrid for ruddock - jab to the body ? And lennox drills ruddock over the top !!!
Steward gets a hold of him in 88, gets rid of him in 89. I don't know if Steward would put up with Ruddock (didn't he like to just disappear after fights and vacation for long stretches of time)?
