Comments Thread For: Buddy McGirt Also in The Running To Train Miguel Cotto

[incredible]

Former two division champion Miguel Cotto is making the training rounds in Florida. We recently reported that Cotto's team contacted Orlando Cuellar to ask if he would be interested in training the Puerto Rican star for his June 5 challenge of WBA junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman at Yankee Stadium in New York.

Awesome! It's good to see Cotto shopping for a new trainer... Hopefully once he irons that situation out he can get back to being the Miguel Cotto of old.

the "cotto of old" is the same cotto we got in the last fight. what cotto needs is a real trainer that can help his defense and has better strategy

Cotto is done. No trainer will change that.

cotto isn't done.

Come on guys, wake up. McGirt is a horrible trainer. You don't let a guy coming off two wins over Roy Jones go make a Rocky movie in the lead up to a fight with B-Hop.

mcgirt is the perfect trainer for cotto.

1) he lives and works in florida
2) he specializes in defense
3) he focuses on boxing over brawling

all those things work for cotto. the only problem is the language barrier.

I agree with you there...as I have said in the past...Cotto needs a trainer who can refine the skills that he already has, and add some new tricks to the mix; as well as iron out some of the flaws that he has... "Cotto of old" I guess was a bad choice of words -- as I mean a resurgence in Cotto's career is what's needed -- a quality trainer in all likely hood would do this for him.

Hey, guys I just learned that Arum is pushing really hard for Cotto to hire McGirt

I just don't understand why ARUM gave Cotto a list of names to choose. Isn't Cotto the one that should be giving ARUM his list, and then Arum can start calling them? I really can't stand Arum, especially how he's throwing Cotto under the bus with all the crap he's talking about. He even looked su****ious in the 24/7 when he was training for Pacquia. It just looked like he didn't care and checked on to see how his bate was looking. Thats what it looked like to me.

Damn seems that everyone hates buddy well what about emanuel steward he's one of the greatest trainers but Idk wit cotto style but then again he did train arron pryor and cotto and pryor's style is not even close but still emanuel made it work!!!....hmmmm so what u guys think??? Floyd sr is very good too even though I hate he's personality but training skillz r concerned mad respect and freddie roach is good too I guess it's all about effective pressure for cotto and lerning to box more and great defence floyd sr is good at this even though hatton never bought any of this into the ring when he fought PAC....and cotto needs to calm down he just wants to go kill someone but when they don't go away he has no back up plan!!!! Opinions anybody...

i don't really get how arum is throwing cotto under the bus.

he gave cotto a very lucrative fight against pac.

also, arum is giving cotto a belt at 154 with the foreman fight.

seriously, mcgirt is the perfect trainer for cotto

steward is great for tall boxers... cotto is not a tall boxer

[jameshepenstall]

Miguel should go to Wild Card an train with Roach. Cotto never alters his game plan, he fights the same way against anyone he faces. It either works (Judah, Mosley) or it doesnt (Margarito, Clottey). Roach could add dimension to Cotto.

Yes, off course he had to give Cotto a lucrative deal since Cotto was the champion.

The 154 belt for the Foreman is easy to give to Cotto since Pac didn't want that fight and wanted Clottey. He doesn't have another fighter to contend for that title accept Cotto. Arum is trying to make as much money as possible with Cotto.

But I don't know about McGirt. I would prefer ****m instead. Emmanuel is a good choice and Emmanuel did say before that he would love to train Cotto, but this was before the Margarito fight.

Where is Joe Goossen btw? Someone should call him just to call. Always gives good information in the corner and is always relaxed when telling his fighter what to do.
