If Cotto wins, will the credit go to his Cuban Coach Diaz or him ???

They should both get equal credit.

Diaz for coming up with the perfect gameplan against May, and Cotto for actually being able to pull it off perfectly.

 

Both...though since it's ultimately Cotto's responsibility to employ Diaz's tactics successfully, Miguel would still be deserving of the lion's share of credit should he win.

 

Yeah, you've got a good point.

Diaz should get tons of credit for it, and he would. He'd be in hot demand by tons of boxers, guaranteed.

 

70-30 to cotto.

 

yeah but the boxer is the one who actually does it.

"easier said than done"

 

As in the Pacquiao Cotto fight!!!

 

Yes, He's apparently training fighters under Cotto Promotions.

He could help build alot of great careers with his experience and expertise.

I'm very glad he is planning to open one, and I'm sure Cotto is, too.

 

This thread will never be seen again after fight night but I'll go with Both.

 

I would have to say both.

The most important aspect in going in a fight is preparation, training, and developing a gameplan ( as wel as back up plans ). This is where the trainer is doing his thing. But a trainer must have the right fighter who can implement and execute the gameplan as they trained in the gym. Having a good corner to guide you during the actual fight is important as well. But the trainer needs a fighter that can adjust when the trainer needs him to do so.

So they need one another like Floyd needs uncle Roger and uncle roger needs Floyd.

It don't matter how good of a trainer you are if your athlete doesn't have the capacity to properly execute what you are teaching, it won't work.

 

Duh, come on man. This is a pre Cotto/ Money May Poll.

After the fight there will be a poll called "Who deserves more credit for the victory Diaz or Cotto?" :hey

 

It's always gotta go mainly to the boxer. . . Because laying out a game plan, and actually executing it, against a boxer like Floyd especially, are two completely different things. . .

But I most definitely think Diaz should get some credit as well. . . The man is a boxing guru. . . He's dedicated his entire life to the sport, and is very passionate about this sport. He understands everything - the scientific advances in training, and the technical nuances.
