Greatest fight manager of all time?

Question

Greatest fight manager of all time?

Answer 1

Managers and trainers are often confused by boxing fans because they are sometimes the same person but not always. I would have to say that no MANAGER ever did more for their fighter than ROCK NEWMAN did for Riddick Bowe

Riddick Bowe's 1 year title reign was one of the most financially advantageous reigns ever!

Rock had Riddick EVERYWHERE doing EVERYTHING!

He made sure that Big Daddy was booked on EVERY show from Jay Leno to Letterman to Arsenio Hall!

He had Bowe actually UPSTAGE Santa Clause at the  Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!

From November 92 to November 93 Bowe even TEMPORARILY superceded Michael Jordan in commercial endorsements!

Fruit of the Loom ads had Big Daddy's big daddy packaged in white briefs for all of America to witness!

Newman protected Bowe and made sure that Bowe got TREMENDOUS PURSES for fighting very winable fights.

Even Newman's BAD FOR BOXING  decisions were actually for BOWE'S OWN GOOD when Newman refused to let his man risk it all by fighting Lennox Lewis

Rock Newman looked at Riddick as a brother and actually COAXED wise old fight guru Eddie PAPA SMURF Futch in to becoming Bowe's trainer and mentor!

Newman loved his adopted brother Bowe so much that one time he actually put his own safety on the line by jumping over the ring apron and ATTACKING heavyweight contender Elija Tillery when Tillery tried to kick Bowe in the groin!

Newman then proceded to assault Tillery's manager!

Newman afterword said WE ARE A FAMILY AND FAMILY STICKS TOGETHER!

Financial shrewdness combined with great love in my opinion makes Rock Newman the greatest manager!

Answer 2

Emanuel Steward - Back in the day, Kronk Gym was the Cadillac of training facilities for one who dreamed of being a champion in the amateur and pro ranks....and Steward operated with a class not known to occur often in the sport.

Answer 3

I,m going to put another spin on it how about the managers how made there fighters millions with out putting them in danger like Rock Newman Riddick Bowie mgr. made millions at low risk . Gerry Coony mgr. made millions low risk. Nasseam Hammed made millions could not fight. Andrew Galotta mgr. made millions can,t fight these mgrs. did outstanding jobs in guiding their fighters to millions.I have a big problem with Manny Stewart he was at that hole in the wall that we all know as Kronck Gym that whole building could not have cost that much money when that gym was in full swing well Manny was asking the city of Detroit to buy the building Manny benefited as much as anyone from that building he took everything out of it and put nothing back in what a chump
