If Manny Steward were alive today, would Wilder be a great?

Calling Wilder a more power fighter is going out on a limb. I will say this one thing that's undeniable is the fact that Wilder is a great specimen unfortunately he's still so very raw. When he settles down and fights with poise he can be impressive pumping the jab and using the left hook. Manny would have polished him up real good though I'm not sure how he would deal true adversity, sure he was hit with some heavy shots from Stiverene and I was impressed with his style that fight but he needs to educate his right hand. He can still do great things he just needs to maintain consistent and stop reverting to that anxious wild swinging style.

 

One thing Steward knew was how to turn tall fighters into well ngh unstoppable monoliths. Wilder's strengths are power, and speed, there is so much Manny could accomplish with that.

 

He'd definitely be a lot more polished than he is, but no telling what level he could actually achieve.

 

Simple answer, no.

 

Yes look what he did with LL and Wlad he would make Wiler into a beast

 

No, but Joshua would

 

He would be a bigger Tommy Hearns with Manny in his corner

 

He would be better, but, as for a great, I am not so sure.

Lewis and Wlad where already technically gifted fighters before hooking up with Manny. As others have pointed out, Wilder is still quite raw. I also believe that pre Manny Lewis and Wlad had a higher ring IQ than Wilder.

 

One thing is certain, Manny would be the best man for the job. :nod

 

You can't just turn Kimbo Slice into Mike Tyson.

 

Just curious hows Wlad's boxing these days ?

 

he would make deontay boring

 

Lennox and Wladimir had basic boxing skills and solid jabs though. Wilder on the other hand looks jittery and fights like a whirlwind. Zero finesse.
