I think it was more about Cotto's timing. Pacquiao is still faster.
I think it was more reaction time. Pacquiao could stop and turn on a dime whereas Cotto's brain doesnt process things as quickly. But when they both have their motor running Pacquiao only had a slight edge in speed.
Manny Steward is a moron.
A pure moron in every sense of the word.
If anyone should be booted out of the 3 it should be him.
I bet even at his age he can still probabaly whoop your ass
Yeah i don't know why he would have said cotto is as fast, maybe he meant cotto's reflexes was as good as manny but usually he does a bang up job and gives good technical analysis. Not a moron imo.
Ever since the Barrera fight, Emmanuel Steward picked Pac's opponent to win in every superfight Manny was involved.
He's a moron and a hater. At least Max Kellerman changed his tune.
He was all praise for PAC after the cotto fight bumalimbing na naman :D
Nabangit pa SRR at Henry Armstrong as ka level ni manny.....
Pacquiao is one of the 10 Greatest fighters of ALL TIME!!!! <== fairly madali na to i defend...
Cotto was never as fast, nor will he ever be. He was pretty quick in the first round because Manny took that round to test Cotto's power, which he explained after the fight. When Pacquiao switched gears, it was a totally different fight. Steward was wrong. He acted like Manny came out blazing, which he totally didn't.

i agree, that's why he volunteered to be miguel cottos trainer. But i think steward will be floyd's adviser if the pac fight happens.
What?! Steward is the best analyst on HBO or Showtime. He is not the best at articulating but he is by far the best technical analyst. Do you guys just not know how to interpret what he says verbatim versus what he actually means? Like when he says Cotto is 'just a fast as Pacquiao'. He doesn't actually mean their punches are the same speed... what he means is that Cotto's punch speed is fast enough that Manny's speed advantage will not be an important factor in the outcome of the fight. He's not the most educated guy in the world.... he's a boxing trainer...
A couple quick examples that I can remember off of the top of my head.
In the 2nd round of Mayweather v. Hatton : Steward stressed that Mayweather's check hook was going to be a huge factor in the outcome of the fight.
In the 2nd round of Pacquiao v. de la Hoya he predicted the outcome of the fight in the 2nd round. and was rock solid sure of it. remember at the time De La Hoya was a huge betting favorite... and the first round wasnt even all that impressive by Pacquiao. The other announcers came to this conclusion somewhere around the 5th.
He also has by far the best intuition about how close to being knocked out a boxer is. When Manny says a fight is over, it's over. This is not always true for other announcers.
I know. And he ended up being able to keep pace with Pac the 1st few rounds so he had a point. Cotto was just as fast as Pacquiao. The difference was Pacquiao had much quicker reflexes.

Did this moron claime he thought Cotto would be just as fast as pacquiao. Lmao.
Any time he sees a fight going a certain way, he goes for the guy winning. As soon as it changes and the opponent wins, he claims he saw the fight going that way.

steward knew what he was talking about.
He said that before the first round was even underway.

He was rooting for Cotto at the beginning of the fight but once Manny started beating his ass he was like "OH! Manny is one of the greatest fighters all time!" lol
so what? that just shows he wasn't completely biased.
Before the fight started, Steward was discrediting Pac's win over JMM, MAB, and others. But after Pac beat Cotto, he was all smile. He did the same thing too against Hatton.
