Chad Dawson teaming up with Emmanuel Steward

[Ant Live]

i said it right after their first fight, and felt it even more after the Hopkins fight, Dawson stops Pascal in the rematch, as for ross,wtf does Mayorga have to do with Chad Dawson hiring Steward as his trainer?!?, lay off the crack buddy

Well, I'll let you in to a little secret

Steward is training Cotto. So watch for Cotto to hold a lot, instead of taking knees

why is he gonna hold alot when he'll be smacking Mayorga around like his bitch for about 5 to 6 rounds then end him with left hook downstairs

if anything Mayorga is going to be looking at the ref to save him as he's done all 3 times he was made another fighters bitch

Chad will win the rematch without a trainer. He knows he wasn't active enough. And he knows he had Pascal hurts. And on top of it all, Pascal took Dawson big payday against Hopkins. As good as Dawson is, he is not a fan favorite. A boxing fan favorite maybe but don't have the appeal to get a PPV fight.

Mayweather and Dawson is cool. Why don't fighters work with other fighters to help them in their flaws? If Dawson train with Mayweather, his stamina will go up a notch. Just wondering!!!

Ross is right, that's what Steward brings to his fighters. A jab, some distance and a bit of spoiling. I don't really see it as an attempt to become more offensive minded at all. It can be tactically effective, but like P4PKing says, it isn't particularly fan friendly.

What does this thread have to do with Ricardo Mayorga anyway? Haha, nuts.

exactly lol ross needs to lay off the smack

but back to the topic of the thread, it's not like Steward hasn't had fighters who still had an entertaining style after having him in their corner for long periods of time, Lewis and most notably Hearns both were plenty entertaining

I wasn't particularly enamoured with Lewis, but respect what he brought to the table, certainly more exciting than what Wlad has become. Hearns could be very exciting to watch. I love watching old fights of his. Great fighter.

Good luck to Chad, hope he loses to Pascal again.

Lewis was the main reason I mentioned holding and leaning! The versions of Lewis and Tyson that fought each other would have 95% been the same result but Lewis still thought Mike that much of a threat that he would lean and hold big time and that's what Stewards fighters seem to do. Any threat at all and they spoil and if Steward instills that negative attitude in to Cotto, to move and try and jab against Mayorga, all he's doing is allowing Mayorga to work and get a rhythm. Same with Dawson,if he hasnt managed to figure out by now that all he needs to do is work more, I dont reckon Steward can do much for him at this point.

yea i guess Steward is just a Hall of Fame trainer due to his work on HBO, cause all he does is ruin fighters...

only time Tyson was a threat to Lewis was when he was munching on his leg in the pre fight tussle other than that Lewis battered him with every punch in the book

actually Cotto/Mayorga will go something like Lewis/Tyson, the better boxer (Cotto) doing everything he damn well feels like to the inferior opponent (Mayorga) and then drag the fight longer than he should have mercifully stopping his opponent

Haha! You forget Steward screaming and begging Lewis between rounds to turn it up. Steward was scared that Mike might get back in to it because he could see Lewis best shots bouncing off of Mike with no result.

Why are people supporting a Cotto Vs Mayorga fight? It should be Cotto vs Berto!!!!
