Cotto's Rebuilding Needs a New Trainer, The Right Fights

[EL ANIMAL]

i agree he needs a break..not just out of the ring, but in the ring...

But i'd leave hatton be..yes hatton is a draw and beatable (though he's only lost to the two best p4p fighters in the world)

but don't treat him like a piece of throw away meat...he is a champion who has beaten champions and has made it far with what he's got..

i couldnt agree any better!!

i think cotto should hire freddie roach. Why? Roach found his bad habits and knows how he can be beat. So if i was cotto i would go to the man who can teach me how to correct those mistakes.

u meant teach him how to correct his bad habits!!! I knew cottos lean in style would be against him in this one!!

No more catch weights Cotto was a 147 champion and lost this belt at 145 now you tell me this is a guy that makes 144 by eating and training with health and the other has to stop eating just to make the weight who is gonna feel better?
Cotto knocked himself out by letting roach dictate everything if pacquiao is so special why doesnt he fight at 147 ?true champion would not ask for catch weight .
cotto needs a new trainer and leave that margarito fight behind and get better contracts no more starvin himself to fight he ****en blew mannys ear out

here we again, can't we ban posts like in the future? it's just too uneducated!

old story mate, people have debated over it, but they move on.

Who would you like to see him go with, prsi?

I beleive that he needs a trainer that can improve his defense more than his offense, therefore a trainer like ****m or Emannuell Stewart will be my picks. His offense is pretty good but his problems even In victories, is that he has been getting hit too much and that also affects his stamina towards the end of the fight.

Who do you think may be good for him Dave?

if floyd studies pacquiao cotto first round pacquiao goodbye . Cotto started smart then just lost control by wanting to knock him out . Smarts beats speed anyday. Pacquiao has a lot of good fights but know he is just controling his legacy with catchweights . If you think that i am lying look at cotto in round 3 and 4 had many in the ropes couldnt let his hands go no energy . That called over trained and weight drained no legs he was tierd before he threw a punch .

thats such bull****!!!

Even on the loss it showed that Cotto can box when he has to. A well respected trainer would be necesary. Marco Antonio Barrera was able to adjust but don't know if Cotto could fight a diciplined fight behind a jab. His corner was clueless after the 5 round

I still think Cotto would beat the majority of welters out there. Pacquiao is just amazing. I'm sure he'd beat Hatton. He needs a gimme to give him confidence and maybe try to fight Hlattshwayo. He needs to build himself back up. I think maybe in a year or two, he could be in position for another superfight.

Cotto should train with nacho o emanuel steward .
and never ever go down from 147 cause if you think 145 did not affect why you think freddy was so interested that cotto weigh in 145 if not he would cancel the fight cause freddy know 147 cotto will give many problems many pacquiao is just a created legend and lets see if pacquiao can do the same against floyd mayweather cause i know mayweather will not leave his confort zone for manny thats for shure cotto had to he needed a big fight so he did it knowing it would be a little problem respect to cotto and manny great fighter just not doing it the right way

[heat27]

i think ****m richardson or emanuel Steward would be good for cotto

I'm really pissed with the attitude of JOe Santiago during the weigh in. He just disrespected Master Freddie, shame on you Joe Santiago. Moments from now, start packing your things because you will ultimately be fired. Your arrogant attitude and inexperienced were one of the factors of cotto's last fight destruction. Who is the stronger fighter now, huh?
