    Cotto could possibly become p4p number 1 if he got a good trainer such as Freddie Roach or Mayweather Snr.

    I just hope Cotto doesn't let this effect him to badly mentally. . Of course it's going to derail his training in some sense despite what he says. . thats been his only trainer basically and aswell as his uncle and POOF gone.

    So humble though in how he asked the press to give him spaceb:thumbsup
    I would've told 'em all to **** off ha.

    This has to be the craziest thing Ive heard in a long time. Im simply shocked, this is totally unexpected from both people involve. There has to be more to this story BUT they are not going to put out to the public. I cant even think of one thing that would make two people that have so much going for themselfs go to that extreme. :huh

    IMHO, this is something that Cotto has to get thru really fast if he doesnt it to affect his fight in june. I think someone is talking in Cotto's ear about him getting another trainer or something along those lines. Also it could be possible that all this about $$ too....But we will never know because they tend to keep all that **** hush hush...Im going to make a couple of calls to my peeps in PR to see what the word on the streets is.

    I also read that Evangelista also attacked Cotto's father and the whole thing started over Cotto wanting to train in Florida instead of Puerto Rico.

    IMO i think it was bound to happen. his uncle took him as far as he could, its time for a new trainer. they need to stay away from each other for a while, let the steam clear and be a family again. i think roger may, may sr., nazim rich or roach can all help him and step his game up some more. he still has room for improvement and i think either one of them can bring it out in him.

    Roach is occupied with Pac, plus he is going to start training Margo, Floyd sr isn't going to train anyone else after Hatton because of his illness.

    nah i meant Roger or Roach down the line, but uhh...he pretty much trained himself against Margo, so he should be straight against Clottey but, if he gets in with Mosley or Margo again, he's gonna need some more brain in the corner
