You can argue and split hairs with Manny Stewart about 60% or 70% or 80%, but the fact of the matter is that we all know he's not putting in 100% in the ring (for some strange reason) and he's STILL considered one of the top 15 HW of all time by many.
Manny works closest to him and has worked with Lewis ,Holyfeild and other great Hw's and says that Wlad is the best he has worked with, I think Manny would know better than any of us , you say we as Klits fans are delusional? well there is a flip side to that coin and it is you that is blinded by something. With manny being as close to the fighters as he is would know better and i know it must hurt but Wlad prob is the greatest HW of all time. I think Manny has more than a small knowledge of the sport. wake up!
Manny bigs up any fighter he his currently working with. You might as well ask Wlads mum if he's great. By the way, Manny has also said Haye could knock Wlad out. With your logic, make of that what you will.
Wlad/vitali top 15 ...victims of there own era...not enough fighters out there...they could fight each other and shut a lot of people up though...they fighting "the best" but not "the very best" in each other
So saying you think some fans are delusional, in turn makes you delusional? That doesnt work does it? Im aware fans of other fighters say dumb things, my point is some of the Klits are the worst and quotes like that do them no favours. I dont think the Klits are that bad although theyre not my favorites and continual delusional arse kissing just pushes "on the fencers" like me in the other direction. Im sure thats not what they want.
What a cop put for haters saying hes just bigging the guy up. Funny hes hardly ever said much about him before, if he was to big him up as you say, he would have been in the news all the time praising him to high heaven, something i dont think manny is like at all, if he says something about any of his guys, its normaly worth listening to.
thumbsup And Steward works with Wlad after all experts have counted Wlad completly out! And now he is the No. 1 Heavyweight in the World!
You don't say "this is the third best fighter i've ever worked with" about one of your guys. It doesn't work that way, most especially when your man is one of the biggest stars in the world.
I don't see Klit fans being any worse than fans of any other mainstream fighter. Being a Pacfan, I know how annoying it is when people assume we don't know **** about boxing and think we only follow the sport cuz of him. For every dumb quote from a Klit fan you'll find one from a fan of any other fighter that's a household name. I mean, it's cool to post these quotes, it's all good fun but Im saying don't act like fans of other fighters are all knowledgeable and always know their ****. The Klits aint my favourite either and no they're not that exciting but I don't think they're getting the credit they deserve for doing what they've done for all these years. People always talking smack about how so and so fighter from the past would whoop their ass in two rounds etc. It's old now. We already agreed they're not that exciting but when it's time to talk about how good they are you hear the same **** "they're boring". My thing is this. Your support and like/dislike of a certain fighter shouldn't be dictated by fans of that fighter.
Well, taht true. Some are extremely delusional. And we, WLad fans, always get bashed for it. People don't look at induviduals, but instead the categorize everyone as a nuthugger and as the least knowledgeable fans. Thats dumb.atsch Thas what get me irritated the most and thats why I always get pissed off when I see these threads, bashing Wlad fans. But its all good dude, I hear what you're saying.
Of course you do realize that a Hall of Fame Trainer doesn't know nearly as much as the knowledgeable fans here at ESB right? :rofl I mean why take Manny's word for it? What does he know? He only trained some of the best boxers to ever step foot in the ring........................
Go listen to it he says it more than one time ,go listen to it and you will learn alot about Wlad (truth)
So doesn't the Haye statement help to validate that Manny is being honest about everything he's saying since he's honest about the bad too?
