    no homo with the thread title.

    In a documentary about Hearns it was explained that Emmanuel was the one responsible for engineering Hearns' monstrous right hand. As we all know Cotto is a lefty fighting out of the southpaw stance. He has a strong jab, devastating hooks, and great uppercuts. While Hearns had the chance to work with Steward early on, Cotto only has a few months with Steward before his next fight, and Cotto is a bit old can Steward give Cotto a right hand? Maybe not in the next fight but in the long run when they have moar time to work together?

    Cotto has a pretty decent right hand. Reference Cotto vs Molsey.

    Its not his best punch, but he is a pretty well rounded fighter.

    Steward can improve it but he will never give Cotto a right hand that can rival the quality of his jab though. Either way I think an agressive style with jabs and hooks is the way for Cotto to beat Foreman

    Steward is good with the flatfooted robot mummies.

    Can't make what you don't have...
    MC don't & will never have the mechanics to have a punch like Hearns.

    Tommy was special.

    Isn't Steward training Foreman FOR Cotto...? I thought Cotto hooked up with McGirt of all people.

    Steward is definitely signed up to help Foreman out for the Cotto figh. As I understand it....Team Cotto still hasn't made a choice but its supposidly between McGirt or Glen Johnson's trainer - Orlando Cuellar.
