The heavyweight champion of the world fights a week after Cotto...

Dumb move by Steward...Cotto only raises his stock on US soil Its the biggest fight of the year and if Steward guides him to victory, then it elevates him only more. Cotto/Margarito II is a career trajectory fight. If Cotto loses, then what's left for Steward to come back to? Wlad/McCormeck is just another sparring session that'll last 5 or 6 rounds before he gets put to sleep.

There's your scheduling conflict. Klitschko/Mormeck on Dec. 10. Cotto aint training in Europe and Wlad comes first. He's been with Steward longer, he makes more money, and he's the freaking HW champ of the world. I think everyone is trying to make this something it's not. I bet Steward and Cotto work again in the future if he doesn't mesh well with Diaz. Fukkin Mormeck!? Are u kidding!? Howd he get a shot??? Guys dead meat Fair play, Cotto needs a trainer who will be there for the big ones and Manny has loyalties to Wlad and obviously its more cash and as u say the freakin hw champ of the world! Dont know about working together again IF Cotto beats Marg, this guy seems good, he has the credentials and the language barrier (even tho Migs speaks pretty good english) wont be there

I find it weird because Steward wanted Cotto to fight Margarito badly because to Steward it was a legacy fight and one were he would get a lot of the credit.

Steward should train Cotto instead of Wlad for this fight, for the Wlad-Mormeck fight Steward just needs to record his voice and have it played to Wlad during the rounds, it will go like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, FINISH THIS BUM ITS ALREADY ROUND #1" "FINISH THIS BUM ITS ROUND #2 NOW KILL HIM" thats it, all he needs to do. Im sure Wlad will still give him a nice piece of the pie, maybe Wlad can invite Cotto to the Swiss alps so he can train together lmfao..damn...you sho aint lying

my dog could train wlad to beat fukking mormeck.....

Thank u someone with ****in sense. WLAD IS FIGHTIN ON THE 10TH. and wlad has been wit manny since wat 2004. thats his guy he has to come 1st so his loyality is with wlad which is the right decision doesnt mean manny wont be training cotto again.

I could train Wlad to beat Mormeck. Is that abortion of a fight actually signed? It may as well be if it's not yet. I agree, but Steward will be there collecting his 10 or so percent of Wlad's 20 million dollar purse.
