What Fighters would u like to see start their careers all over....with a NEW TRAINER?

Tyson. Too bad he lost Cus and l later, Rooney.

 

:deal

Joining with Don King was his downfall...

 

audley harrison with emmanuel steward

 

For all the **** he gets, it really seems like Dawson and Guzman both regressed after leaving Floyd Sr.

Anyway, Shane Mosley and Zab Judah are both good calls. I'd also be interested to see what would have happened to Jermain Taylor if he had gone with someone better suited to his strengths than Manny Steward after the Hopkins fights.

 

are you kidding?

lacy trained with roger bloodsworth and dan birmingham, 2 of the best in the business.

 

not true

how many fighters style has steward actually tried to change?

 

how could that be when both only had floyd sr for only a coupe of fights each.

 

cotto and roach would have been good

dawson and uncle roger

james kirkland and brother naz

paul williams and ronnie shields, tommy brooks or manny steward.

 

First person I thought of, he'd be a problem.

 

Taylor, Cintron, Lewis and Klitschko, off the top of my head. Arguably Moorer as well. Two of them were well suited for the style change, but Taylor certainly wasn't. He's great at teaching tall fighters, but when was the last time he had success with a fighter who didn't usually have a reach advantage over his opponents?

 

It seemed like both were making significant progress with counterpunching ability, and then abandoned it when they left him. Both defensive fighters who are usually hesitant to throw when the other guy is punching and can combination punch when the other guy isn't.

I mean, I get why guys leave him (he doesn't exactly have the best personality in the world), but guys seem to make visible progress when they work with him. Hell, even Hatton looked the best he had in years against Malignaggi, until he decided that walking into Pacquiao's fist was a good idea.

 

he didn't try changing taylors style at all, all he did was tried to get taylor to tighten up, like when he does that bow and arrow jab-cross and the way he keeps his chin out infront of his front foot.

 

He also had him "fighting tall", trying to use the jab more, trying to rely on pure reflexes less. Look at the difference in his stance before and after Steward.
