Except in the case of Lennox and Wladimir, they clearly weren't the finished products pre-Steward. Hence the move to Emanuel where he helped better fine-tune their styles. Incidentally, Emanuel himself has stated that this is effectively what he did and what he was hired to do - to fine-tune a solid foundation of talent and skills that was already in place.

Maybe so, maybe not.

But Emanuel is the one who actually DID help guide him to a major championship.

From memory, when Manny took over Wlad, he started from the ground up. Teaching him footwork like he would a novice.

It's pretty easy when you get star boxers to 'train', already basically finished products too in some cases.
What would he do with B fighters, let's say he trained Joyce? Hammer? Whyte?
What would he do with Charles Martin, Fat Pole, Dave Allen?
What would he do with Tom Little?

Anybody on this forum could train Klitschko and win a championship. For instance, I would tell him to fight long, use his boxing, throw one-twos and sometimes the hook. In the corner I would say, 'You're doing great champ, just be patient and the shot will come'. After a bad round or if he got hurt, I'd say, 'Just get back to your boxing, don't get too aggressive'.

It's easy in hindsight to say what's needed of a fighter. You've basically copied Mannys method.
