I still think Emanuel Steward is a one dimensional coach, who can teach only one type of fighter. Taylor almost had that make-up, but both Taylor and Cintron don't have the defense to really stand in that and pick apart the opponent with the jab. I think like somebody else said Emanuel has had the best talent to work with while guys like guys like Buddy IMO are better coaches, but they are working with guys who have limited talent or motivation. Now that Emanuel is coaching limited fighters it is easy to see why he isn't the best coach.
However being a good coach isn't about picking prospects and taking them as your own. It's about making somebody in a strong fundamentally sound fighter, like FMSR did with Floyd, and like Bouie Fisher did with Hopkins. Those are good coaches because they build their fighters. FMSR has done a great job with Guzman and ODLH... their defense is so much better since he joined their camp, and that is the only key incredients a lot of these guys need. If you ask me I think Cintron should go to Floyd Snr if he wants to become good.
