emmanuel steward will be training cotto

[BOOMbip]

Sounds like Steward is aching to get some fame with the 24/7 series after seeing Mayweather Sr. and Roach being treated like little celebrities, I'm sure he's alittle jealous at the moment. Of course, I think he'll definitely make some improvements to Cotto but ultimately not all that much as this will be the FIRST time working with Cotto and look how bad Hatton-Floyd was after what was it, their 2nd or 3rd time together?

I mean that was an example of a late Trainer switch that went bad...but there are just as many that do work out...1 for example is Shane Mosley and Nazeem Richardson.

The Hatton-Floyd...Was destined for doom...Hatton was never a technically sound fighter to begin with.

Cotto is a technically sound fighter...He just needs to make some tweeks and fix some problems...not overhaul his whole style of boxing like Floyd was trying to do with Hatton.

So I don't see it as the same situation...I think it might work.

He certainly needs somebody in there that will challenge him and teach him new things.

Miguel is a stubborn and head strong individual so we'll see if this even happens.

I don't even think Cotto has a website...

He used to, here is the link where it was http://www.miguelangelcotto.com/SMF/

mmmm i haven't read these

Cotto's chances just went up if this is true. If Steward knows one thing it's how to maximize a size advantage and disguise a stamina disadvantage.

i hope so if cotto pick steward

pac will ko cotto if steward is his trainer..... steward is a **** trainer if u ask me...... his style is out-dated, and his best fighter is only the best because the division is so trash....

i think he's out-dated too

y do ppl think that steward is that good now? his time is far passed guys, newsflash

look at jermain taylor, kermit cintron, he cant make a fighter anything but worse...... but its cool, u all will see

he was good back in the day...but not anymore...i guess

Cotto has some bad habits that i think his former trainers have not addressed. Steward if he sees those bad habits will address them and can make Cotto the fighter that he should be. I think he might get cotto to an area that cotto has been missing in awhile and that is the "tyson i am going to brutalize you" attitude. If Cotto gets pacman in trouble he needs to have no mercy and force pacman to never box again by punishing him so bad that other fighters will not want to fight cotto. At one point that was cotto and somehow he became a boxer instead of an animal. Tyson had that even with bad fighters and cotto needs to bring the ruthless style again.

Don't be gentle with pacman, show him that he has never faced a fighter that has as much power as cotto. Yes, cotto will be facing the fastest fighter he has ever faced but cotto needs to punish pacman to point where his ribs/kidney will prevent him from throwing....that's the cotto i want to see.

agreed

Okay, i look'd it up at Primera Hora, El Nuevo Dia, & even the ***in Vocero & aint noone talking bout Steward training Cotto.

I'm a Admin of that forum, you post'd the link to & right now we are going thru the process of switchin over to a new server. This forum use to be the forum that was part of the Official Cotto website forum back in the day. We have kept this forum alive cause all the members wannit.

i know what you're talking bout but it wasnt saying that Stewie would be the new trainer. The thread was talking bout how Stewie had contact'd Arum & ask Arum about being Cotto's new trainer & Arum told Stewie that he would have to deal with Miguel personally. What a ***** move by Arum, he could've atleast told manny that He could talk to Cotto & set up a meeting or something.

anywho, Cotto was made aware of the request by a media outlet in PR, not by Arum, & they ask Cotto what were his thoughts on Stewie interest'd in training him. Cotto said that he feels honor'd & that Stewie has always been a caballero with him & Cotto will look into doing whats best for Team Cotto.

that the last thing I heard on it.

Now, Stewie would be a great additions to Team Cotto for the simple fact tha Stewie KNOWS Cotto's faults & knows where Cotto needs to improve at seeing that Manny has been callin Cotto's last 5 fights or so.

Did ya see how emotional Stewie got at the end of Rd 10 when Cotto caught Clottey with those 2 left hooks?

manny was callin it all night on what Cotto need'd to do to get thru Clottey's D. He was sayin that Cotto's best chance was when they were both trading shots instead of jus firin away while Clottey was shell'd up.

If Manny does come to Team Cotto it would be great cuz Manny loves fighters that have a good jab & I think Stewie would implement Cotto's right cross into the offense more. You see how the ol 1-2 has work'd for klit & I think he would make Cotto use that deadly right more.

Cotto needs Nacho B. MS is not what cotto needs

[REMOVED SHARK 99]

Holy **** that sig of Floyd and Shane is hilarious.

Thanks, and thanks guys for the karma I knew you lot would like it.

[The Gambler1981]

I don't like it, Steward's style to me is not a good one for Cotto. To really do well with Steward you need certain attribute and while Cotto does have several positive attributes they are not really the ones that Manny needs to make his favored style work.

WTF,
he trained: thomas hearns (an ATG)
lennox lewis (an ATG)
he trained at one point jermain taylor (beat B-hop)
he trained at one point wilfredo benitez (for a few fights
he trained at one point nassem hamed (for a few fights
he trained at one point james toney (1 or 2 fights)

he will do nothing but make cotto better,
you dont know what your talking about.

Steward is bad choice, he is better with taller fighters.
