Nah man. Manny was rippin Lewis' ass for not gettin Tyson out of there after he had him hurt in like the 3rd. Matter of fact Lewis recalls it well and says so on the JT vs Spinks telecast, where it was the only other time they could remember seeing Manny go the **** off like that (on JT). Watch Tyson/ Lewis again, Manny goes ****in nuts on Lewis, sayin this guy is too ****in dangerous to be ****in around with. "Get that Mother ****er out of there and let's go home." Be patient and jab was not on the menu.
Right, but I'm asking about Stewart the trainer, not the HBO commentator. It goes without saying that if he's the commentator in a fight, he's not training either combatant. But I agree, he makes very accurate predictions when he's assessing a fight objectively.
aw **** that just kills my argument....gonna have to rewatch that one. and for the record I've never actually made it through the entire JT v spinks telecast. just got too bored.
**** bro, I didn't mean to kill anything, just me and my wife like watching and listening to Manny. When Lewis made the comment on the JT/Spinks fight is when I went to youtube to check it out myself. And for sure, Manny was goin crazy on Lennox.
Do you guys think that he takes up to train anyone who is willing to pay him his money? I don't think he has the time and to be honest, I believe he goes with guys he really believes in and guys who have tools to be make it to the championship level. He doesn't want to train guys that will tarnish his own record and legacy as a trainer.
Other than a couple (Andy Lee only one I can think of), he seems to train dudes who already have a belt or immediate shot at one. Don't get me wrong either, I like Manny a lot and always enjoy his appearances and what he has to say. And with that in mind it does creep in the back of my head that he will be sitting across from my favorite fighter Saturday. Pavlik KO 7.
Sht happens. Did you see Barkley's face after that fight? Hearns fcked him up good Barkley bleeding from both eyes. For some reason, Hearns dropped his left hand and got clobbered with right hook to temple. Barkley hit a home run sht happens. Barkley went home with win and sun glasses on for the next couple of weeks.
Well, what are we doing? Let's stop talking about Manny Steward's predictions and start making some money off them! I have a 8 fight accumulator bet which could net me 10 grand - how do you rate my chances? Manny Pacquiao to beat MAB Joe Calzaghe to beat Mikkel Kessler on points Fernando Vargas to beat Ricardo Mayorga Jermain Taylor to beat Kelly Pavlik on points Miguel Angel Cotto to beat Shane Mosley Juan Carlos Gomez to beat Oliver Mccall Juan Manuel Marquez to beat Rocky Juarez Ricky Hatton to beat Floyd Mayweather Of course, if I'm right, Manny Steward predicted it :yep
Have ya'll checked out the thread "Taylor camp predicts KO"? In there is transcript from the last presser in New York, and Manny says Sugar Ray Leonar/Robinson, Hearns, Hagler, Barkley none would have even fought JT! don't know about all that ****, and if Pavlik wins, according to Manny's own words, Pavlik is better than them?
Those highlighted in bold.... I think they should be the other way around. Don't get me wrong, I want Vargas to win, but I don't think he has anything left in the tank and I believe Mayorga will likely win. Same with the Mosley/Cotto fight and Hatton/Mayweather. Mosley is one of the best in his era, and his era isn't over yet, and he aint either. He is still too good for Cotto at this point. As much as I dont like Mayweather, objectively, he is a better boxer than Hatton.
