Is Cotto too self assured or is it just arrogance?

I think you have a good point, and something I wondered my self ("If Cotto's doing something wrong or has overlooked a detail he needs people around him that aren't afraid of his ego and will tell it as they see it"). Like you said only time will tell.

 

Nothing wrong with the guy, you are just looking for something to moan about like most people here.

 

From watching on tape clip's 24/7 ect...
Cotto's camp seems to be laid back & focused on the task.
The whole shaving their head thing & being yes men around MC might have to do with the whole "Family" feel to his camp.

I defo see the point you raise tho. good post.
But Miguel will be ready for the 14th.

 

I cant say I've seen him act that bad. I always thought he came across as very focused rather than arrogant.

 

:nod Trying to make something out of nothing.

 

Being "too self assured" is arrogance, so you're asking the same question.

He's a smart, confident young man. How on earth can it be a camp of yes men with his best friend and his father in the team. The head shaving thing, as explained quite clearly in 24/7, was from his father's idea of building a squad, from his time in the army. It was his father's idea -you all take responsibility for the success of your man.

That's better than the mad everyone for himself attitude that permeates Manny's world.

His father tells him if he's ****ing up - that's why he's there. When you're that close to your team, you tell each other the truth. These guys aren't there for the paycheck, they're there because Miguel is family to them.

 

You're over-analyzing this.

 

Oh yeah and Pac doesnt have them

 

Hmmm, let's work this through. Cotto had been having serious issues with his uncle for the last few fights. His uncle is well known for being truculent. His uncle throws a BRICK at Cotto's Jaguar and Cotto fires him, finally.

Why would his father tell him he was ****ing up when his uncle was the problem? That sounds like he picked the 100% right priority as a family man.

:hi:

 

exactly

 

From what they said on the first 24/7 it made it sound like they only had 2 sparring partners with them in tampa.

That doesnt seem like enough. I also wonder about his trainer only being 32.

I will have to wait until the last 24/7 and weigh in to make my final pick. I was giving cotto the edge and Manny's training has me worried too.

But I am leaning towards pac now, I think he may use his footwork and speed to stay mobile and if Cotto cant find him he will be in trouble because cotto is open to be hit and manny will get to him with his speed.

 

My point of view is that Miguel Cotto is the leader of the pack and that is a fact; however, the whole shaving their heads, playing golf, and all that is for used for team building. As a military member, I can tell you that kind of solidarity is used to eliminate individualities within a team. This whole concept surrounding Team Cotto comes from his father who is a 25-year Army veteran and is actively contributing in his son's camp.
