At this point in his career should Haye look to Steward?

He and Adam Booth are not just trainer and boxer, there best mates, business partners. they have been together since Hayes amateur days. Why change a winning formula at the moment.

And Steward doesn't always have the best affect on fighters, look at Taylor.

Maybe in a few years time but not now!

 

Depends if his defence can improve. That is his glaring weakness, and Steward can help that. But as robpalmer said, Steward does not always have the best effect ie Hamed, Taylor.

 

It could be something that could try for a little while. I know Steward likes to work with big punchers so he would probably be interested.

 

To be fair i was thinking this the other day, steward is a great trainer for the right fighter and i think haye is that type of fighter.

 

Sure, let Steward "rebuild" Haye. Haye may be exciting now, but he won't be when Steward is done with him.

 

Steward could not work with Hamed for a few reasons, mainly that Hamed was a twat but also because he wanted to change what made Hamed great.

Haye has a style that is perfectly suited to bringing in simply changes and tweaks that Steward could do. Just like the improvements Lewis made under him so Haye would benefit hugely.

Having his best mate as his coach is no good. It is not a winning formula, Hayes power is his winning formula and yet he has not improved a damn thing about his defence or lacklustre spells in fights due to stamina etc since his pro debut and now.

He needs someone who will actually make him try using a guard for once and explain that mopping the floor with your lead left does not look particularly flash but it will get you KO'd.

 

no, not Steward. A trainer shouldn't have more than one top fighter in each weight class, and Steward already has Klitschko. What if Haye succeeds in the heavyweight division and gets a shot at Wlad?

 

Wario.

 

Good point. I didn't think about that.
