Seems Cotto may have already found a new trainer....

[Taeth]

Seeing that Dan was trainer of the year a few years ago, and had the #2 Supermiddle and #1 juniormiddle, #2 middle (Winky Wright) not a bad choice. Dan seems to be a fighters coach. Business is Business in the gym and in the ring, but really cultivates a bond with his fighters and a down to earthness.. Evangelista always looked sinister, ornery and militant.

Even though Cotto is a bon fied superstar, I feel like he still has another level and with his combatitive relationship with his uncle would never reach that level.

All the greats that I can think of had a great bond with their trainer and trust, to go into the trenches and can get the most out of their fighter especially when adversity pops up.

I could be talking out of my ass here

Even though their was a translator in the corner for his margarito fight, I was curious to here every word to see how his corner was handling the adversity.. Seem like his Uncle was useless and couldnt come up with anything, nor did he even care... Always seem like a very sterile tough love between those 2... Like I said, not really sure what is said most of the time because of the language barrier, but it was apparent by their body language all the time that a change needed to take place.

Evangelista is a tough SOB with everyone that's just is demeanor, but Cotto is exactly the same way, so is his brother, both are too damn stubborn, that's why they shouldn't be working together, but Evangelista is still a very good trainer especially for a man who never fought, and in the Margarito fight i remember him telling Miguel to go to the body more

When he should have been telling Cotto to tie Margarito up more, going to the body would have been set up eventually, but he needed to stop Margarito from throwing punches like Mosley did, and his movement alone wasn't good enough, thus clinching was his only option, and he's terrible at it.
