    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.

    Yeah he had plenty of good trainers. Not helping much.

    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.

    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)?

    Whether Patterson was a good match for Razor I dont know, but I don't think Old Floyd should get too much blame here, there was a combination of Floyd just coming on as Ruddock's trainer and trying to drill something other than "Ruddock SMASH" into his arsenal, and Lennox actually being a future ATG at heavy
