Emanuel Steward and Amir Khan.

I like the question, Steward had a reputation for turning talented fighters with weak chins into better defensive fighters. But didn't a lot of what he do rely on the size of the fighter?

Yeah it's hard to tell. Obviously he was masterful at crafting great HW's in that style, but who knows how it would have worked at 140.

Manny did well with a few guys who were not super tall and lanky. De la Hoya used him, Holyfield used him.


I think Khan's best fit was Roach to be honest

Manny would have been perfect for Khan and I think he would have chosen him but probably heard about the illness and chose his current trainer.

steward liked to train those tall lanky fighters with a good right hand. He did well with guys like that; he pretty much spun his wheels otherwise. He made a mess of DeLa Hoya.

With Wlad, yes. He taught Wlad techniques to keep his chin out of harm's way. Using his height, the reach of his arms, keeping the distance.... all the things Wlad would forget pre-Manny. Not sure it translates well to Khan.

He helped Lennox Lewis as well.
