Emmanuel Steward will not improve Cotto technically, Steward specializes in agression, he is a trainer that sends you to take your opponent's head right off from the opening bell.
When Oscar De La Hoya was looking for a trainer for his fight with Pac he visited our gym and when we asked him abou ta possible reunion with Steward he said:
"Steward is a nice guy but it won't work, he is too laid back, only trains fighters 4 days a week, even during camp, and says he does this because rest is good for you. Steward sends you to K.O a guy right away and if you don't, he will be fuming. We spent most of the time playing basketball instead of training and my father didn't like that, so we dropped him. Somebody like Juan Diaz would be a perfect fit for Steward, because Juan is super agressive and Steward likes to se that in his fighters."
I think Steward will be Cotto's best trainer ever, but he will not make a dramatic change. Just my honest opinon.
