Is is time for Emmanuel Steward to retire?

[Julius Rain]

im dissapointed too, andy had steward in his damn corner but it seem like he had nobody there. Did he even teach andy how to hold like how he taught lewis and klitscko brothers? wtf steward? did you forsee that andy would never need to?

I think Stewart is still capable of being a good trainer, but he has just spread himself too thin. He does his HBO work, has about 500 fighters in his stable. How can he spend any real time with a fighter?

He has become too much of a celebrity, and I imagine that unless you are a champion, time getting actually trained by him is probably very minimal.

Yeah the same as we see with Freddie Roach.

Personally I'd rather have a small time trainer dedicated to me like Hatton and Pavlik have or else a skilled uncle like Floyd.

If a trainer has more than 10 fighters in his stable I'd say thanks but no thanks and go with a trainer who viewed me as their priority.

Steward is a great trainer. Fighters lose sometimes, Emmanuel can only do his best outside the ring but when the bell sounds the fighter is on his own. He gives the right instructions, but as mentioned above sometimes the fighter doesnt listen.

I dont buy into the whole trainer as guru thing anyway. Steward has trained great fighters but also his share of tomato can hype jobs. I dont think he should neccessarily retire but people shouldnt expect that just because Manny is behind the camp organisation that a top fighter will automatically emerge.
