Interested in names of fighters who Manny worked with in his "hired gun" days and your thoughts on whether or not he materially improved those fighters.
Worked with Hamed for a bit - the impression was that Naseem either didn't want to listen to him, or simply wasn't able to make the necessary adjustments to compete at the real top level.
I remember this , but Hamed been his usual bombastic self thought he was to good to learn anything new .
Emanuel Steward worked a minor miracle with Dennis Andries. After being ko by Thomas Hearns DA went to train at Kronk gym and became a more polished fighter and posted 6 straight wins including beating Bobby Cyz and regaining the title from Tony Willis.
McClellan, very early on. Think McClellan lost his first fight and then teamed up with Steward and went back to the drawing board.
If only the Prince would of soaked in all the wisdom Steward could of blessed upon him, damn... missed opportunity for sure, now hes just a fat piece of lard.
