POLL Should Cotto get a new trainner?

[lefthook2daliva]

Yea, Bernard REALLY impressed me in his last countdown. When he was sitting with Richardson, and analyzing. I never saw that side of Bernard before. He even spoke effectively.
I can see him being a good trainer to someone that's early in their career. They'd respect what he has to say and there'd be no friction.
But it's like Cotto's already set. He's at the top, and his 'clay' can't be molded too much more.


He HAS to want the new training, but I doubt that'll happen.
He's STUBBORN cause he wins, but then again, he wins cause he's stubborn.
haha!

Very good points...maybe someone like Richardson. Maybe RJJ's old trainer (Alan Mirkenson? fuzzy on his name, sorry)? Manny Steward? Somebody that would be better able to work with what's already there rather than create an entirely new look. Although May Sr has been kinda' doin' that with Hatton, right?

If Hopkins took up trainning theres no way he would train a Mosley rival, those guys are tight!

Manny Steward seems to like Cotto and appreciate what his strengths are but also recognise his weakness' judging from what i hear him say when he's commentating but yeah i agree he wont get a new trainner and will stick with his uncle. Was just curious to see what people thought he SHOULD do

All the GBP boys are actually in love with Cotto IMO. If Arum was to kick the bucket today, you can rest assured that GBP would swoop in with a quickness and pick up Cotto.

There's no ill blood between Cotto and Mosley. They actually got along quite well during their promotional tour. And if you notice, Oscar and Bernard are always including Cotto in their words when talking about the best fighters today.

I don't think another trainer to supervise his uncle would be good, though. Too many cooks in the kitchen and all that.

You might be right about this. An ADDITIONAL trainer might cause some friction. NOt that there wasn't some already in the past, but I mean if the Margarito loss brought them together let's not mess with the fragile relationship, eh?

Yea Richardsons looking top notch right now. But you know Shane's gonna stick with him for a while, and he WANTS to fight Cotto. I don't think Cotto would allow the "enemy" into his camp to study Cotto, know what I mean?

Ok RJJ's former trainer.

NOT MANNY STEWARD!!! I mean think about how mad he gets at Taylor for doing his own thing in the ring.
Taylor dropped him cause the chemistry wasn't working. Manny came in to 'change direction', not to 'add momentum'.

Plus, personally, I don't like trainers that stretch themselves thin. They're all over training this person, that person, traveling everywhere to help so many. There's more quality when there's less quantity.

Yea, Mayweather Sr's doing a FINE job with Hatton!
Hatton looked slick against Malignaggi.
And he did an AWESOME job with Forbes when he faced Berto too!
His training SHOWS!
But Keep in mind Hatton is trying 110% to bend to what May wants.
He even said after the fight, that he was struggling to stick to the training, but
is eager to do what Floyd tells him. I don't know if Cotto would 'bend'.

Looks like Arum might not even have to kick the bucket Cotto is pissed with him, i think they might split! Could be getting ahead of myself here tho

The usual quality posting from anonnymous!

Honestly and i know this will never happen but i think Adam Booth would be great for Cotto he is very knowledgeable uses modern trainning and has a great outlook on the sport i REALLY rate the guy even tho aside from Haye he has yet to start producing Champiuons but he will. I think his calm positve approach would gel well with Cotto i could really see them getting on but it wont happen

[The Surgeon]

Another thing i was thinking should a fighter like Cotto who can on occasion struggle with his english have a non spanish speaking trainner i mean if Cotto gets into the deep waters late in a fight with someone and is a lil buzzed will the instuctions be clear enough for him? And i think its TERRIBLE when a corner has a translater like Mormeck did against Haye with Richie Giogetti.

[AntonTheMeh]

jordan became a better teamate when he got phil jackson.cotto needs teddy atlas, or kevin rooney to improve his defense in that peek a boo style.

[Hex-One]

A new trainer maybe what Cotto needs. Roach would be a nice choice.
