    That's the issue for Cotto more so than his trainer or him being past prime. Cotto just isn't cut out for 154. He is best when he is the stronger fighter in the ring and can use his physical attributes to his advantage. If Cotto fought Bradley, JMM, Guerrero, and Berto at 147, what would his record be? I like his chances against any of them.

      At this stage of Cotto's career, it doesn't matter who trains him. You can't teach an old dog new tricks and Pedro Diaz was about as good as a defensive trainer as you can get.

      I think Cotto is just trying to make excuses as to why he's not winning. The reality is, that Cotto is just not a prime fighter anymore.

      Agree with you.

        True. Cotto fights small. He actually crouches! Trout was a horrible choice.

          Freddie hasn't had a fighter win in like a year.... and that's over the span of how many fights?
          Shoot, it all started in April with Senchenko

            It's not going to make much of a difference at this stage of his career.

                If we see the pre Margarito Cotto with the lethal body shots that will be good.
