    ^^+1 Manny Steward is the best thing going for Taylor right now. JT just needs to listen to his advice.

    Steward should stop wasting his time with Taylor. No point in training someone who doesn't even listen to what you tell them. But I'm sure Manny will stick around for the paycheck if the Taylor camp still wants to pay him

    Yes he should.

    It is personal opinion, but I believe Steward is overrated.

    He is definately not right for Taylor. At his core, Taylor is a brawler. A guy who has the physical assets for that style too.

    Steward teaches his guys to hide behind the jab and to use timing to catch opponents from a distance. Taylor isn't the right kind of guy for that. He needs a trainer that is going to show him how to press a guy to crack openings on their defense.

    Basically he doesn't have the mentality for patience and waiting for openings. He needs someone who will train him to force the openings.

    Agreed. Steward's coaching just may not suite Taylor's style in the long run.

    If he does that, he will be KTFO yet again.
