Emanuel Steward: "I Can Help Cotto Knock Pacquiao Out"

[kadyo's]

Steward wants to join the party but cotto said, " No way!"

I expect another announcement from emmanuel tomorrow, saying he can help pacquiao Knock miguel Out.

[Primal Instinx]

I stated No...I think Nacho is a better fit for Cotto than Steward.

The fighter makes the trainer as much as the trainer makes the fighter, zien god.

[PRPOWERPUNCHES]

Any improvement is welcome.........

I think he needs Steward in order to improve , if he keeps Joe as his trainer he will end up doing the same training over and over again..... He needs a fresh eye on his corner and maybe Steward knows something no one else knows about Pacquiao

Exactly, I like Joe and Joe knows what he's doing but a fresh eye in camp wouldn't hurt. Hell, Cotto got the money, I think Manny can sow up that punch that comes up the middle and catch's him like clock work. If anything Cotto should just hire him as a consultant.

dude, ure always saying the same ****.



pac is no joke n cotto better not get that "pac is a small jww" crap in his head.

I agree, Pac is no damn joke, and not even small either. I also think that Cotto needs a fresh eye on his corner, somebody that is not used to his style, somebody that can point out them flaws and try to fix them....

[SceneSpectator!]

he couldn't KO a motionless, dehydrated, old de la hoya in 8 roudns, but you talk about him knocking out a dominant WW? lol

SceneSpectator!
Pac could not KO DDiaz should DDiaz quit before resuming 9 round lol! Got my point, huh??!!!

Manny dissed Cotto the whole fight against Clottey. He just wants a big fat check. Screw him!

He didn't diss Cotto, he was being very honest that night. Clottey was fighting a good fight. But he did give Cotto props at the end because he was the one who closed like a champ in those rounds.

I'm not sure Steward is a good fit for Cotto but I thought his assessment of him during that fight (and in this interview) is dead on. I think Cotto has a great chance as well. I'm not sure what Steward has in mind for him but it seems he's genuinely excited to implement it.

I agree with what you say but I'm puzzled that Steward is being so persistent in lobbying publicly to train Cotto, given that Cotto said a few weeks ago that although he's honoured by the request, he has no intention of following up on it. It just makes Steward look desperate to me, and job applications via the media are not usually the most effective way of applying for a position. Someone of Steward's standing should preserve his dignity, IMO. He must have contacts who know Cotto well, and he could use those channels rather than the media. If he really wants the job, that would surely be more effective as well as more dignified than going public like this.

I believe Manny Steward I mean here's a guy that said Hagler-Hearns would end in a KO3 granted he predicted the wrong guy would win but still a good prediction.

He also said that he could beat Mayweather with Kermit Cintron.

Totally agree with that. It's a bit out of character for him...or is it? Steward's always been a good self-promoter. Although in this case I do think that he has some sort of strategy to beat Pac and is licking his chops at matching wits with Roach.
