Thread: Why does Manny Steward have such a strong dislike for PBF?

Out of all the PBF haters, critics, closet fans, and columnist nobody is worse than Manny Steward. I was just watching the replay of the Hatton fight and Manny had nothing good to say about Floyd the whole fight even when Floyd took the fight over, as an announcer you should at least be nuetral when commentating a fight, this guy simply hates Mayweather and is not afraid to show it in public, it was disgusting behavior.

steward is a hater of all fighter that he does not train.

When steward isn't as good as a trainer as a boxer is a fighter, he dislikes them.

I believe even though Manny is a trainer, he is a true boxing fan like us. It is true he let his feelings show on air which is not a real professional thing to do as a commentator, but he may consider himself to be a fan first. I don't think he hates Mayweather, hell even the more vocal tirades against Mayweather on this forum are not done by haters, but by people who expect more from a fighter, claimed by the fighter and many others to be P4P best. It can be hard on a fan when they see so much potential going to waste. Their are so many dream fights Floyd could take but doesn't. It gets so frustrating seeing him pick opponents that many true boxing fans do not really care about. He did it in the past, he should be doing it now as the end of his career is probably not too far away.

There are a lot of fans, not just in these boards, but everywhere who want to see more from Floyd and are not convinced by his bout with Hatton. If you carry around the #1 P4P title, but have not beaten any of the other top guys in your current division, something is amiss. Nobody else at welterweight has done it either, but they avoid the criticism as they are not the #1 face in boxing. That is somewhat unfair to Floyd as it is a lot of weight to carry, and he gets all the criticism that really should be shared by all of them, as i don't see them clamoring to fight each other either.

Which is why the P4P rankings are a crock of shit basically. Most of the guys on the list have not even cleaned out their own divisions, yet get ranked. It really makes no sense. To be even considered as #1, you should at least be the undisputed champion of your division, not just the #1 draw in boxing.

enjoyed your post. I think you have the pulse.

Why does Stewy hate PBF?
Because PBF is a punk.
It ain't that hard to figure out.
Oh Wait, I forgot... You have PBF's nuts all on your chin so you wouldn't know.
Does Floyd pay you for sticking up for him on this forum?
Probably pays you in meat, doesn't he.
Stop making all of these PBF threads. We have no interest in your affection/erection for Floyd.
Get a life and find a real man, will you.
How many times have you watched that joke of a fight between Floyd and Hatton? Do you touch yourself while you are viewing? LMAO!

All I know is that Manny loves Roy Jones Jr. He's a big fan. So maybe he just has good taste.

I have owned you on so many occassions I think it's pretty clear that your credibilty as a poster is shot here, you are now used as amusement to the members of the website by posting classless post such as this, to be honest I really don't know why you come on

steward only feels that way because he once stated, i think during the baldomir fight that the atg greats wouldn't just pot shot a man that they could hit at will..then steward finished up by saying that robinson, leonard, hearns, and even roy jones would have sat on their punches and gotten the man out of there...so i think that his opinion as far as that goes is pretty dead on, but in all fairness to pbf he is fighting two weight classes above where he had a true power..and other than montell grifitth, and clinton woods i think roy stopped most of the lhw he faced late after wearing them down. and there's no doubt that floyd would stop maybe every top 130-135 pounder in the world...

Maybe I misunderstood you. But Roy did stop Clinton Woods and he stopped Griffin twice, they just decided to call the first one a DQ, cus Montell took a dive, so Roy stopped him in 1 the next time.

Because he can see that Floyd is conning the public and to compare himself to ATG is a complete joke.

He could not live with lower tiers Welters like Hearns and Tito never mind the ATG , Robinson or Leonard but some people cannot see it.

what i meant to say is that other than those two, meaning he stopped them early montell in 1 and clinton is 6 i guess you can call that early...he stopped the rest of them late, because he had to wear them down first as they were too big.

So it might be a bit much to ask floyd to stand there and risk being hit by the bigger men and discredit him for not wanting to risk the fight, not to mention hurting his hands by banging them against the bigger men.

That might be why roy had som many problem with his wrists although i think one time he suffered a motorcycle injury..

Hearns and Tito were lower tier WW

Hearns lost to Leonard and Tito should have lost to Oscar but both beat Floyd too much power.

newsflash, floyd's not a WW, he's a 130-135 pounder blown up.... did tito move up two weight classes and dominate? NO...did hearns or leonard? NO floyd says that he pound for pound one of the best which is true, now because he never established himself as the a dominate force in one weight class other than 130.. he can't be call the best ever at any weight class..so pound for pound is more suitable....

and floyd kicks the shit out hearns, and if oscar and bernard gave tito boxing lessons then floyd would give him a master's degree....

and floyd wouldn't have needed two fights to figure out how to beat duran, as floyd arguably is one of the smartest fighters ever when it comes to adapting in the ring.....

they can have as much power as they want they still have to land their shot flush on Floyd for it to come into play. Floyd is one of the best defensive fighter i have ever seen couple that with his qiuck counter punching and versitilty he would give anyone problems so to say he couldnt hang with any of the ATG WW is complete BS we can only judge on what we see in the ring and in FLoyds case thats a complete fighter
