Felix Trinidad Sr. Not Happy With Cotto's Corner/Trainer

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Felix Trinidad Sr., trainer of former three-division champion Felix "Tito" Trinidad, was not pleased with the way Miguel Cotto's corner was run last Saturday night in Las Vegas. Cotto's new trainer Joe Santiago is taking a lot of heat for the beating Cotto took at the hands of Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand. Trinidad Sr. agrees with some of the harsh talk on Santiago.

He's right. I know right now Cotto is insistent that he won't change his corner, but I think once he has some time to reflect he will change his mind.

Being that young of a trainer...You get that most people are just gonna diss you.

Trinidad Sr. knows the deal. Cotto needs a new trainer.

He's right. I know right now Cotto is insistent that he won't change his corner, but I think once he has some time to reflect he will change his mind.

Listen man, I'd love to think that Cotto will change his mind, but the truth of the matter is that Cotto is as hardheaded as they come. Cotto could've been an all time great if he had a different corner and if he listened to advice. The truth of the matter is that he has run his own career this entire time. Evangelista wasn't in charge in the camp; that's exactly what Cotto told Evangelista in their fight. He said: "I'm the boss here". And he always acts like that.

Miguel has great skills, awesome power but no real desire to re-learn or learn how to develop these things. A few trainers, including Emmanuel Stewart offered their services to Cotto, only to be turned down... why? Because Cotto knows that if he gets a legitimate trainer he'll have to listen to him and he won't be the boss anymore and this is something he can't tolerate. And now, when the press asks him if he's going to change his corner he asks them with genuine surprise in his voice: "why should I do that? the corner's fine"... I know he doesn't want to throw Santiago under the bus... and that's good. But the truth of the matter is you need to go back to square 1 if you want to continue fighting at a high level for a few years. If not, his career is bound to end like Tito's.

I agree with Tito.. Cotto needs an experience Trainer to take him to the next level.. I think Joe needs more experience.
