Manny Steward will not be training Miguel Cotto for his fight with Antonio Margarito

[Hex-One]

If this rumor is true Cotto loses this fight for sure.

Cotto has been a hard headed mother fkr for a while now. Does not surprised me one bit. I think they made a good team, I don't see Brother Naz as compatible as Manny Steward. We all know Roach is not an option either. Maybe he should just go make up with Evangelista or maybe hire Papa Trinidad. He needs someone not named Joe Santiago.

Steward is a good boxer for heavyweights, anything below that, not so much IMO.

It's not hard to figure out what to do against Margarito, he fight's 1 way & there are blueprints in previous fights show how to beat him.

I'm still undecided who's going to win the fight though.

That would be f'ed up if it's true...

who cares, Steward is garbage anyways

Honestly... I think Steward is overrated. He also does not seem like he truly gives a shet about any fighter other than Hearns and Lewis..

I think he learned what he can learn form Steward already. Steward looks like a lost old man lately.

Agree with these. Stewards best days are gone. With or without manny cotto is losing this fight. His only chance is that ariza training method

I hadn't thought about that!

But on the Steward issue, I wouldn't be surprised if it's true. I don't remember where I read it, but I read somewhere that Steward is known to be a fairly expensive trainer which is why some people refuse to hire him.

Look at Cintrón, Taylor [Jermain], Chad, now Cotto...

I read in Oscar's autobiography that he didn't like having Steward a lot as his trainer because he wasn't the type of trainer to constantly push you. He said that Emanuel was the type of trainer who, if you said you wanted to train on certain days, he'd ease up. If you wanted to take a day off, he'd let you. Sort of a lax trainer, at least that's Oscar's account.

From American Son? I read that one, ODH says Stewrds idea of a training camp was a few games of basketball....

I wasnt/am not sold on Manny in the corner but the seem to work well and changing trainer right before a MEGA fight isnt the wisest..... but hey if there is dispute it wont make for a healthy training camp. Id LOVE to see Cotto work with Nacho but thats not happening. So next best thing, Richardson - sign him up Migs!!!

[IIG]

How many fighters have ****ted on Steward? I don't know what it is, but no one wants to stay with him.

So, can we start paying our bets now? Or should we wait for December just to confirm the beating?

LOL

I didnt like what Steward was doing with Cotto anyway. He was turning him into a passive non aggressive boxer. I want the old Cotto back. The one who use to unleash a furious body attack on his opponents.
