http://www.primerahora.com/diario/n...ea_entre_manny_pacquiao_y_miguel_cotto/307379 Emanuel has called Top Rank and told them he wants to train Miguel Cotto and Arum referred him to Cotto, his Dad and Manager. Arum didnt want to get involved in this, and will let Team Cotto decided on Emanuel Steward coming aboard.
Emanuel Steward is a bum. He'll train you for a bit - ruining your style, failing to inspire you and just wasting you away with average, over rated training. As soon as you loose he'll lose interest and dump you. The way he was hugging Clottey in that fight commentary was DISGUSTING.
Emanuel is always running to a fighter who recently wins--hes doing it to pavlik also,,calling pavlik out to have him train him because now hes the champ. Screw Emanuel, he likes to ride coattails.
Cotto needs a better / more experienced trainner true... Emmanuel is a better trainner but I am not sure if he is the right trainner. I honestly feel that his prime as a trainer has probably behind him. If I was Cotto I'll call McGirt.
Bad match up. Seems like every fighter Manny trains becomes less offensive and more likely to clinch on the inside. Cintron, Taylor, and Wlad all were more dynamic offensive fighters prior to training with Manny. I hope Team Cotto turns him down.
I'd definitely like Nazim but I doubt he would work with him since he's helping Mosley. Don't like Steward though, he don't take care of his fighters after a lose, just leaves them out to dry.
Then who? I love Nazim but he is not going to do it because of Shane. Floyd Sr. is not going to do it either as Cotto could be a possible opponent to his son. In Puerto Rico he can choose Juanma or Calderon's trainners as they always bring their fighters very well prepared with great condition.
Floyd SNR should be consigned to the dustbin of history after his DISGRACEFUL handling of the Pac/Hatton situation/fight/camp. I honestly think Roach would be awesome for Cotto, perhaps after Cotto batters Pac then Roach will want to train him.
