I think he needs too start going to the body more like he did earlier in his career. I think if emanuel does the right things Cotto can once again be a top 5 p4p fighter and better than both Mosley and Mayweather.
    Yeah I agree with you that he needs to get back to the body punching he abandoned, but Steward's going to have to work with him on throwing body shots while keeping his gloves up so he's not easily countered. I know Pacquiao is good but I still think the weight was a huge issue for Cotto. Having to spend his camp watching his weight was another intangable Roach was able to get away with. Had Clottey been forced to make 145 he would have got blasted!!!!!

          I was picking foreman to win over cotto until steward became cotto's head trainer though. But for me, I think cotto just needs confidence, but also I've noticed that he gets bruised up too easily since the margarito fight. Margarito really messed up cotto.

            If Steward was Cotto's trainer and was in his corner versus Pacquiao then I believe we would of had a MUCH MORE competitive fight...

              It's official!! I can't wait for the difference in Trainers. Foreman's team is getting a bit too butt hurt. Grier should be happy that he will assist Foreman 100%. How is he gonna be upset that he now got 100% of the job and money?

                Co-Sign!! i have noticed that too!! Cotto's face is somewhat fragile since that beating. Before he came out clean, nowadays his face swells up too fast. He probably hasn't 100% completely healed, which he might never be able to do.

                  Having Manny on his side is nothing but positive for Miguel. He should have hired Manny as soon as he got rid of Evangelista, better late than never.

                    should've done this move before the Manny Pacquiao fight.

                      Only a ******* would give red k's to someone expressing an opinion. I have nothing against Miguel just calling it like I see it.
