    doubt it. it's too late to learn. all the same types of new trainers for other 1 dimensional fighters like cotto......mayorga,...hatton when he got mayweather sr...etc. none of the **** helped them

        yeah, steward coming off very disrespectful to evangelista and to cotto. honestly, saying that cotto's basics are all screwed up is like saying cotto don't know how to box.

        from what i'm hearing steward saying, cotto is gonna start running now instead of going to war. That will prolong his career but its gonna make his fights boring.

        I gotta agree w/ Steward that Foreman's height and defensive style will make the fight very difficult.

            Yes he did but at that stage Naz was his own boss and he doesnt listen to NO-ONE.

              Cotto isn't winning fights by stoppage anymore, so back to boxing is definitely the best move.

                Steward would probably claim to find "major faults" against the likes of Floyd or Pac............LOL!!!

                  Hopefully Manny can really help Cotto's defense and get him back into some of the body work he was know for earlier in his career to slow the mover Yuri down.

                    Damn, this really sucks if true. I don't know that Cotto can make major changes at this point in his career, but here's to hoping.

                      yeah, ricans will back him even if he starts running and he stops KOing mofos w/ prejudice. but he won't be tito's successor anymore.
