Do you think cotto improved with steward?

Tony and Pac kick his ass again in rematches

Cotto will always have a problem like most boxers do - if somebody doesn't fight his pace he will have problems... There only a few fighters right now who can fight every rhythym - most boxers today can only fight their own rhythym. Against guys like Pac, Margarito he will always loose, because he doesn't decide at which rhythym... Guys like Judah and Clottey are prime examples for that - if they can fight in their own rhythym they are pretty good but as soon as the meet someone where they can't control the rhythym they loose. Good post.

I say its too early to tell,but something work right because Miguel said that Steward is there to stay.

well said.... Cotto will always have a problem like most boxers do - if somebody doesn't fight his pace he will have problems...

Guys like Judah and Clottey are prime examples for that - if they can fight in their own rhythym they are pretty good but as soon as the meet someone where they can't control the rhythym they loose. in his training he must start being more explosive in spots n train his body and mind to change rhthym,tempo and pace......his consitent deliberate pace in benefitial against most fighters cause it chips away at them....but for fighters that can fight at a consistent pace above his, he cant hang!

I think people had already chose to praise steward before the fight in their heads if cotto won convincingly.

He has improved, it could mainly just be from the weight gain but i donno. But people are overrating Cotto just a lil bit i find, he's not the class "A" fighter some ppl think he is

We'll see when he faces Margo!

I dont think he looked any better. but on the other hand, I expected him to look worse after his loss to Pacquiao, but he more or less stayed the same. So I would say that Steward did a solid job.

His footwork may be better, but as IMDAZED said, it might too early to tell, because clearly Foreman was not on Cotto's level. His jab was always well timed and educated though, Steward isn't responsible for that.

It's more about bullying him, to beat Cotto you have to make him go backwards, it's common knowledge in the boxing world. Guys like Pac and Marg pushed him backwards, bullied him instead of allowing him to move forward. I think Stewart can polish somethings up, much like Robert Garcia can with Marg but it's very hard to teach an old dog new tricks.

I know it was just one fight fight but i thought he looked very good what do you think of the new polished up cotto. he has a great jab tbh, one of the best at the moment Cotto will always have a problem like most boxers do - if somebody doesn't fight his pace he will have problems...

Cotto always had a good jab,the problem was his decipline!!Cotto looked good the last fight & when Floyd refuses to fight Pacman,the Stewart-Cotto combo is gonna be put to the test when him & Pacman fight for the title at 154!!

I think Cotto's confidence is back, which is what you need along with your physical skills. I like the Steward / Cotto combo. The next fight I believe is when we'll really see it put to work.

Too soon to tell. Not everyone at 154 is as light-hitting as Foreman and that's where the real test lies.
