how about mayweather sr. for cotto's new trainer?

[THE NAMELESS]

well...at least he would be better than joe santiago..

[ИATAS]

nah mayweather sr would try to make him something he's not. He needs a guy that will bring out the best of his strengths, correct some of his weaknesses and more importantly someone to be Cotto's boss (someone cotto would respect). I don't think cotto would ever respect mayweather sr.

i doubt that floyd sr and miguel would get along

I actually think thats a great idea because I honestly think that Senior has been humbled. I mean the dude lost the chance to actually be called maybe the best of our generation. I mean he could right now be training guys like his son, Chad Dawson, and so on. Instead he ruined all those relationships. Then you have a guy like Hatton who might not have listened to him all the way but he's going to get the blame for that. You also dont lose a guy like Dawson who has mad talent and was on the way up. Then he's back in good with Junior now and will be a big part of this fight but the major credit will go to Roger. I think all that has humbled him and if he gets one more shot at a big time fighter then he will try to do it right and not make it all about himself. I dont think he would make the kid wait like he did Hatton and so on. I think him & Cotto would be great together because both have been humbled and want to make a comeback and both are talented enough to do it

Cotto doesn't respect ignorant people. Therefore he'd never pick Sr. as his trainer.

Puerto Rican fans hate the Mayweathers as much as the Filipinos do, so there's that too.

Yea, I agree with Natas. He would try and make Cotto into something he's not.

Cotto's not far away. There are a few fairly minor adjustments he can make that would make a significant difference in his game.

Roach or Nacho would be great for Cotto. I think they would command the kind of respect needed. Cotto's definitely a stubborn *******, but I don't think he's crossing Roach or Nacho.

Mayweather Sr. is not a good trainer, nor is he a good character. He is a villain, and I sincerily mean that.

Cotto would change styles about as much as Hatton did. Pointless matchup.

And thats why he have had this set backs in his career!


He wont respect anybody, thats teh problem. People lame Evangelista for their inccident, ut the people here in PR, knows it was Cottos fault, because he thinks too high of himmsel, to let anothe man take charge. I he doesnt correct that, he is done as a elite fighter

[THE NAMELESS]

cotto would never go with roach...think about it do you really want to make a partnership with a guy who beat you hell up?i don't think so..cotto's pride would not allow that..

Yea, it's easy to see he has an issue with authority.

Although I'm still not convinced the incident with his Uncle was his fault. I think Evangelista seems like just as much of a stubborn ******* haha.

But either way...Cotto's been surrounded by yes men. He needs someone with the balls to stand up to him. But even then, I don't know if he'd change. I can see him just nodding his head and continuing to do his own thing.

It's frustrating.
