    I think Manny is only ever truly right for a very SPECIFIC type of fighter; Tall, Long Limbed & Detestatingly Powerfull.
    That's why I also believe that Manny won't really do Miguel any favours. However Chad may just be right for the job... He isn't a massive puncher but when he puts his punches together he is pretty leathal so maybe if Manny gets rid of that excess movement and works on establishing a reprepitoire that accommodates the change...?

    I think its too late in the day to try and make adjustments for fighters like Cotto and Dawson or any fighter with their experience.

    Steward may well be able to create a good fighter from scratch but to take a fighter with a style of their own its just not going to do anything. A fighter that strips through trainers like Chad has, or Holyfield or De La Hoya, or even Hatton. They are just fooling themselves that its the trainers fault and not their own for not listening or focusing or training hard enough!

    What change has Roach made to Kahn that exactly the same wouldnt happen again if he fought a rematch with Prescott?? He might take a little longer to get caught but as we saw with Maidana, he still will get caught!

    Dawson has to want to learn something. Hiring a good trainer doesn't automatically make you a good fighter. Chads been typical of a lot of fighters today that like to punch in volume to manufacture wins. Its easier to initimidate aguy into a shell with blistering flurries. Throw 5, land 3 then rinse and repeat.
    You only have to worry about guys with better stamina and high punch rates and the craft veteren counter punchers like hopkins or Marquez that can expose a volume puncher... and as long as you keep a career short and get out early, you can look like a legend.

    Hopefully Dawson's use of the ring and his stick and move.. err, pounce,flurry then walk style puts him and manny on the fast track to adjustments. The fact they he has speed and has already been using angles doesn't hurt either.Punching smarter instead of just a lot would be a good step toward improving his style and stamina for the later rounds. I agree with the posters who's already mentioned that with all the trainers he's had, the problem is most likely Dawson.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
