[@Garbagejuice1207]

I was dealing poker in Atlantic city back in the 90's and the man sitting next to me spoke. I recognized his voice immediately and said to myself that's Emmanuel Steward. Then I noticed his cuff links and they said the initials "E.S." before I had a chance to turn my head and look at him. I told him what an honor it was to meet him and he couldn't have been nicer. A real gentleman. R.I.P. Sir.

[@AzWanderers]

That's awesome did you give him any winners

[@aviratica6370]

I was 15 and fighting at 139lbs and told him I wanted to become a world champion and he said "What's a nice white boy like you want to get involved in this business?" He was happy to take a picture and got the impression he was pure class.

[@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettin]

@@michaeltrumph121 He said the same for Marciano. Steward doesn't rate either of them, or ANY small heavyweight. That's why his answer is always the same for small fighters "did well to overcome his disadvantages".

[@RatatRatR]

It's an unusual thing about the heavyweight division. Even though it's an odd thing to do when discussing guys who fight in the same division, you kind of have to temper heavyweight evaluations with a sort of pound-for-pound perspective. To take it to today's scene, Oleksandr Usyk may in a sense be 'better' than some top heavyweights but not able to beat them in heavyweight fights. Or if you're for example a young Evander Holyfield, you could have ruled the cruiserweight division for ages, but 1% as many people would have known your name. So you take the step up to the marquee division -- but in doing so, you do take on disadvantages. Guys, on the other hand, who have a lot of skill and ability yet are naturally the size of a 'super heavyweight' will just always have significant advantages over you that do not entirely come from that skill and ability.

As the old saying goes, a good big man will beat a good small man. Tyson was just lucky that he never fought a great big man in his prime. This is an outstanding interview. Steward is obviously a very smart boxing expert. I plan to share this with everybody I know who loves boxing. But I think Steward should have mentioned that Ali was out of boxing for three and a half of the best years of his life before he came back and fought Fraizer too soon.

[@xXEliminatorXx99]

I love Tyson, but this is simple biology. Bigger, fast and stronger > small, faster and strong

[@bikefixer]

Ali was at his best against Cleveland Williams. He had one more fight before his exile against Zora Folley where Ali was not quite as masterful, but still dominant. The only thing we did not know about the pre-exiled Ali was how good his chin was (we would learn that in the 1970s). Knowing that it is hard to imagine any heavyweight from history beating him.

[@martinlutherking8169]

He can say that. His pupil beat totally washed up tyson. He hasn't said that. He never said his pupil was so lucky. This great man doesn't consider holmes, Tucker, mitchgreen, Smith, bruno, tillis, etc as real big good man. 😂😂😂. Why He was shouting back in 2002 , jump on him jump on him.. He is a dead man.
