I agree with Steward. The only fights when Cotto fought different was against Mayorga and Foreman when Steward trained him....now his back with his head low and his weird dancing footwork....I ike Pedro Diaz but Steward was better trainer for Cotto imo
See what happens when you leave mannny steward

Dude, Stewart said Cotto should have boxed more against Floyd. Do you have a clue how detrimental that would have been??Comment

I would hardly say he had the perfect game plan to beat Mayweather and that he used his jab very well.“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.Comment

That would depend on how he fought, he could have still been aggressive but been a bit smarter about it and worked on avoiding Mayweathers counter right.Comment

Cotto fought a great fight. To me the fight was dead even entering the 9th. (I had Cotto up a round) actually. But the problem with Cotto that no trainer has fixed is his stamina. He allowed Floyd to sweep the last 4. Regardless, it was clear Cotto wasn't going to get any credit for anything he did anyway. I do know that if he tried to box more he would have been picked apart.Comment

how is he overrated? hearns, lennox, wladimir all were at their best under him & are all HOF's after he trained them...he led oliver mccall to his upset of lennox too then left him to train lennox...most trainers don't have 1 HOFer they led to glory...he has 3Comment

Why, because they're both pr?? I think everyone is giving Diaz a lot of credit just because of how humble of a trainer he is.Comment
