i dont think steward is the best trainer for cotto

Thats a lie, Wlad became super defensive when he worked with Steward.

Wlad also looks super precautious so much so Manny has to stop short of begging Wlad to knock Chambers out.

I think this is where Wlad gets much of his flack from where his brother is the exact opposite.

True, but you also forgot the part where Cotto backpedals when pressured. Cotto needs to stay consistent the problem is his stamina doesn’t allow it.

It pains me as a fan of Cotto to say this but it is true no matter how you slice it.

Agree.

Also id suggest that fighting too square gives your opponent both side of your body to hit, look how many body punches Margarito wore him down with.

manny really doesnt teach defense which is what cotto needs..manny teaches his fighters to use the jab as their defense..and cotto doesnt have the range to be effective with that technique

manny's not a ****** man. im sure he teaches the best defensive techniques a fighter could utilize according to their physical attributes.
manny's worked with all types of fighters, not just tall ones.

Agree. I dont think Roach is particularly astute on the defensive side of the game but Amir Khan seems to be slipping punches a bit better from what ive seen.

What makes you think he would be better than Steward?

I like Nacho but something tells me there would be a personality clash between the two.

wouldnt cotto catch flack with the whole mexican/PR rivalry?
nacho would be good, but i dont think he does well in the short term/hired gun role. his style takes time to implement.
