    Too little too late. Although, you never know. Maybe if he looks impressive and stops Foreman, he can get another big fight and be able to go out with a ****.

      You are probably right. However, I do not see a foreman stoppage. He is a runner, and his power will only deminish at 154, pluse foreman has the pop to keep people off of him.

        I agree. I don't anticipate a stoppage. I actually see it as a fairly difficult fight for Miguel.

        But you never know. I see Cotto's technical problems as fairly easy fixes actually. I don't have big expectations, but it's good to see him swallow his pride and do the right thing for his career.

        But like I said, it's probably too little too late.

                Good for him, but I agree with savor, a little too late.

                Better late than never...

                maybe.

                  I think Mcgirt is an underrated trainer. It's not his fault Gatti had limited skills, Tarver was aging, and Paulie couldn't handle Hatton. Mcgirt gives good advise to his fighters, but to be honest he never actually had an elite fighter. His fighters were overachievers at best. Look opponents he trained his guys to fight. Rahman vs. Klitschko, Sharmba Mitchell vs. Mayweather, Gatti vs. Mayweather, lol.

                  Criticizing a trainer for having a limited fighter is almost equivalent to giving a trainer too much credit when he trains a hall of famer. Trainers deserve a lot of respect as well as accountability. Just remember that once the bell rings, it's one on one and it's up to the fighters to execute what their trainers taught them.

                    Good. Santiago wasn't the right trainer for him.

                      i agree but at this point it is probably a little late for that. Someone he respects would also do the trick. I really think that stewart would be a great choice considering his fighters with good jabs seemed to do really well and he seems to improve 3 things: Their right hands, ring generalship and defensive lapses. Things cotto needs desperately.
