Pedro is the man, I met him once he not just one of those boxing guys the guy behaves and speaks like a true professional

Pedro is a G

Why did Miguel leave him? Did he give any reasons?

I didnt realize he had so many accolades. I've always felt he was one of the best trainers that dont get the recognition of roach. He currently only has Rigo as of right. He needs more fighters. I've been saying that Erislandy Lara should switch to Diaz.

I really don't get it either. I'm guessing it must be the altitude thing but haven't heard anything.

I have a su****ion that it was related to that. Remember in the All Access when Miguel had to depart early due to his mother not liking the "atmosphere" where she felt alone...etc. I believe that Diaz told Miguel not to leave, probably telling him to send her and that the priority was the training....and they likely bump heads do to that.

Also, Miguel said that he did not like this "aggressiveness" (all the yelling, noises, etc) from Diaz (which it could be motivating and/or distracting).

Again, this is what I think it happen and it may not be far from the truth. lol!

Yeah I guess it's that because he seems like a real family man.

lol maybe he needs a calming figure. To me it looks like Pedro is a good motivator though. I guess we'll never know unless one of them comes out with something or Cotto writes a biography

I was about to post that same thing. Cotto should write a book about his career...he has enough experiences, drama and acolates (SP?) to have a successful publishing.

-Amateur Career/development
-Relation with his Father
-Pro Career
-Margarito Scandal
-Breakage with multiple trainers
-His Uncle scandal and legal battle
-Diaz mentorship and breakage

It would be a great book!
