    See what happens when you leave mannny steward

    “The fight with Miguel Cotto went pretty much how I
    expected,” said Steward, who trained Cotto for a
    two-fight stint. “Miguel is back to his old style,
    fighting with his head too low and not utilizing his
    boxing ability nor his height. He was fighting as
    though he was 5’7 and Floyd utilized his skills, defense, and actually, if Floyd would have stepped it
    up a bit he could have stopped him in the last round.
    Floyd came through, I was very impressed.”

    Lol I thought cotto had the perfect gameplan, used his jab very well and applied lots of pressure, he could have used his right hand more after setting up with those jabs but overall he looked better with Diaz then he did with steward.

    Was a snide remark by a disgruntled trainer who got fired. Diaz > Steward, at least for Cotto.

          Cotto did go back to his old style and if he was training with Steward he would have been more cautious and wouldn't have got hit half as much.

            Overrated? Overrated is guys like Freddie Roach, Roger & Floyd Mayweather Snr, ****m Richardson. Steward would make any top 20 ATG trainer list.

              No dude mayweather would have picked him apart IMO.... Steward is a good trainer but the guy sometimes just cracks me up. Let's just say Diaz fits Cotto perfectly

                Probably but with enough time Steward would have made him a better fighter overall. He could always drop back into old style Cotto if plan A didn't work.

                  So, Manny would have Cotto trying to outbox Floyd?? He cannot be serious. That's like trying to quench fire with Alcohol.

                    Stewards overrated

                    Edit: not so much overrated but him and cotto aren't exactly the best of match ups stylistically.
