Well, if you mother****ers wanted Cotto to clinch here's your guy. Cotto will have no inside game whatsoever and clinch every single time under the tutelage of Emmanuel Steward.
Thats true. I doubt Nacho would train Cotto, Roach wont because if Pacquiao and Nazim wont because of Shane.
I agreed....Emmanuel Steward trains tall, rangy fighters to jab jab jab ...I dont think Cotto likes to do that all that much. Roach would be good for Cotto
One thing I've noticed is that Emmanuel Steward is a great trainer for strategy, but he does nothing to improve his fighters' endurance. Name me one fighter he's trained in the last five years who doesn't have issues with stamina.
Well Cotto does love to jab, his fight with Mosley he used almost nothing but his jab. Manny Steward has the knowledge and the experience, in the clottey fight manny was giving some great tips on what cotto should do, but too bad he wasn't in the corner to give those advice to cotto. Manny aint a bad pick, there are far better choices but Manny is 5x better than evangelista and evangelista lite(the guy in the corner for the clottey fight).
He seems to have fixed Klitschko's stamina but I understand your point Taylor was a 6 round fighter under Steward.
Im not keen on him going to Steward...Id prefer he just get someone who will give him a fresh outlook, maybe tweak a few things and work on his fitness but wont complicate things. Maybe just keeping it rican with Carabella, Siaca Snr or Jose Sanchez.
this is a little extreme but what about b-hop. There is another thread saying that he is retiring. Lol
A good training technique he could use is he could grab a puerto rican flag, drop it and get Cotto to chase him around...Seeing as though Nard still has good stamina Cotto will eventually run out of steam..His Rocky catching the chicken moment is when he finally gets Nard and then he is ready...stamina issues dealt with.
Manny Steward can train Cotto, and then go home. Let someone else talk to Cotto in the corner lol... If Steward were in Cotto's corner, that is a guaranteed defeat.
So this is why he was talking so much in the fight. Making it seem like Cotto wasn't doing it too good. Even if he wasn't, it seemed like Manny wanted to make it seem like it no matter what.
