    I cant remeber any Buddy McGirt fighter ever winning a big fight. It has gotton to the point where if I see McGirt in the corner, I feel like I already now the outcome of the fight.

    HBO should show a "spoiler alert" before showing Buddy on camera.

    He also has never had an extremely talented and dedicated fighter in his crop. The fighter is 80% and the trainer is 20% IMO.

    Manny Steward has had his share of flops, like Kermit and Jermaine Taylor.

    If the fighter is extremely intelligent, talented, and dedicated the trainer plays a much smaller role like in Money Mayweather and Roy Jones cases....

    You are one helluva trainer if J Taylor is one of your 'flops.'

    I wouldnt say Jermaine Taylor was a flop but the Trainer/Fighter relationship between Manny and Taylor didnt work out and Taylor seemed to regress while Manny was his trainer.

    90% of Taylor's successes came while he was not trained by Manny...
