    you saw the crappy job he did to Taylor and how well Taylor listened to him

    Cuellar's style fits what Cotto is as a fighter IMO

    Manny relished on tall fighters who can use their back foot for leverage on their right hand. That's about it to be honest
    Yes. Exactly cuz' he yelled at Wlad and it was the things he said to him too.

    Taylor was just not a good match.

    Cotto needs someone to get in his face and piss him off to fight harder. Steward is the guy.

      its not about improving Cotto as a fighter cuz' he is what he is at this point.

      its about someone who can put the fire in his belly again.

        I think part of being someone's supporter is to b able to accept when they're no longer elite. And as cotto fans we have to accept that he's NOT elite anymore. I'd hate for him to stick around so guys can just put his name on their resume I hope he retires this year like he said he would

            Cotto will KO foreman, foreman has good boxing skills but lacks nay sort of power.

              I am on the side that Manny is not the right trainer for Cotto. I have always though Steward was over rated because he needs certain types of fighters to do what he wants b ut when the fighter fits that mold he is the man those fighter happean to be tall rangy outside fighters.

              Cotto is not a tall and rangy guy and while he is an alright outside fighter that is not his bread and butter (also he is not good off the back foot he can do it but against real quality it is be a bad sign for him).

              One thing Manny would teach him is to hold more so he takes a lot less punishment, it could also help Cotto wear guys down.

                not a good match? Tall fighter who likes to leverage off his back foot. strong jab tall in the pocket etc etc

                also the demeanor of both Cotto and Taylor seem fairly similar. Quiet unless provoked, determined to do their best regardless, tends to shut out others when plans don't work etc etc

                and Taylor never listened to Manny what makes you think he is going to reach Cotto? To me Cotto might be a tad more stubborn.

                Cotto needs a strategist who can fit into what Cotto is.

                  Cotos jab will cause foreman problems from the forst round.

                    I think Manny can challenge Cotto's manhood and inner warrior.

                    Thats what Cotto needs.

                      I don't think he lacks power, he just doesn't prioritize it over his boxing. I reckon his power is actually underrated.
