If you have followed Cotto's career, you would recognize a drop off in hunger and skill not long after he fought Mosley, and got busted up by Margarito. His relationship with his uncle/trainer imploded, he trained himself half halfheartedly through his next couple fights, then gets a little back in focus with Steward at the helm. That duo was short lived as Steward was mainly focused on Wlad. Then Cotto moves on to Diaz, who tried to completely change Cotto's style and training. Doing unorthodox training and trying to turn Cotto into a Cuban point artist, set Cotto two steps back again. They tried to fool the fans and say it was a good combination, but in reality it was no better than Santiago. The last fight with Diaz was against Austin Trout, and Cotto came in sluggish and out of peak condition. Cotto had a weak training camp and was even flown out of Big Bear weeks early to Florida, effectively ruining all the high altitude training. When an athlete does this, they endure blood sludge and become easily winded as the body is readjusting to sea level.
Getting with Roach revitalized Cotto. He also got a new strength and conditioning coach in Gavin (GSP's same S&C coach). It's evident in his two fights and evident in his training camp footage. You cannot tell me viewing footage of Cotto with Roach and Gavin, is the same Cotto in training camp footage with Santiago, Diaz, and Steward. It's a night and day difference.

Until Freddy Roach puts him in the ring with someone not named Delvin Rodriguez or a crippled Sergio Martinez who lost to Martin "I have 10 plans" Murray and he beats them...... who cares?
He hasn't done anything with Roach except look great (he did look great) against a terrible fighter with 6 losses against half-time boxers.Leave a comment:

Delvin Rodriguez just had a split-draw with Joachim Alcine....... in 2014.
Martinez- let's not even talk about that. That simply wasn't Sergio Martinez in there. Before that what has he done.....? He lost to Austin Trout. Like, he looked terrible.
Austin Trout's best career wins are Miguel Cotto..... AND, wait for it.........
DELVIN RODRIGUEZ.
Austin Trout is literally fuc**n terrible. Lmao. Dude is only known cause he beat Miguel Cotto. Thats the ONLY "top" fighter, he's EVER beaten. The man just went life and death with some indigenous Australian goat-milker. Yeah, Cotto has no chance at MW..... maybe against a top 50 MW. Maybe.Leave a comment:
