Evangelista is not the best trainer out there, given the fact that he didn't even bother to check on Margarito's handwrapping. Cotto's defense is very poor and he should switch to a better trainer while he's still young.

    No offence but can I get a ***in link, please

      Yeah.

      Well styles make fights of course and no one can say for sure how long Marg has been loading so. Cotto has a style to beat Mosley and Marg doesnt. Mosley has a style to beat Marg and Cotto, well its hard to say now given the results what may have happened. Santos has one-punch-knockout-power which is why he was able to wobble marg twice..And Paul is an oaktree with alien arms..lol.

        Think what you like, but to me the cheating most likely after the Williams fight.

          its not poor, but it is not good for a guy that throws uppercuts like margo does

          Yeah youre entirely right..But when you have all those factors i mentioned against a guy like Cotto, imo its a logistical nightmare for him. Good game plan or not. Styles styles styles.

            I agree but I think more realistically he's gonna go with someone else. I wouldn't be surprised if Roach is in his corner at some point, for a fight or two.
