Miguel Cotto To Dump Evangelista as Trainer?

[AntonTheMeh]

I completely agree. Let me add... who had the best career of those you mentioned? The one who switched trainer frome his father to someone else.

i'm not to sure when and who got rid of there dad first,but most likely roy.

I think it's a good thing that he's thinking outside the box.tito didn't dare so he never improved,though his daddy is his daddy i think he would've gotten better with another trainer maybe manny at the time.you look at zab roy and mosley,and they're all similar,they have incredible NATURAL athletic ability,with which in my opinion they would've had success with other trainers regardless.

I agree. I think Cotto's style is great but there is room for improvement. If Mcguirt can get Cotto to use his jab more than thats a good thing. I would much rather see Birmingham as his trainer, a guy who also emphasizes jabbing and fitness two things that Cotto needs to maintain or improve on. Anyone else know of other Florida based trainers that could be possibilities? Asian you're pretty knowledgable any ideas?

That's when you jump on them. A man with no legs is defenseless.

Tell that to castillo in the 1st Castillo/Corrales fight where he got knocked out

[niceguy45]

i can understand where cotto is coming from, he wants to be a complete fighter, he needs to improve his skills to fight the dlh's and mayweather's so he has alot of work to do and i think with his uncle it won't happen

Corrales was much more dangerous than Vargas was at that point.

what about roach??
I cant understand why anyone would want to train with buddy. Also cotto shouldnt even think about steward as steward only really trains straight up boxer who are tall and rangy, cotto isthe complete opposite he's short and like to throw short punches.
cotto needs someone who works well with his style of aggresive in fighting.
ie. ronnie shields.

He is a young & improving fighter & I WANT to see him hone & develop his skills, BUT if Cotto selects McGirt (along with the curse) as his trainer & fights Floyd...you can chalk that up as a "L" for Miguel!

[Thread Stealer]

Why does Teddy Atlas not train fighters anymore??

Don't know, but it doesn't matter.

He was never any good as a pro trainer anyway, despite historical revision about how he "willed" Moorer to the title.
