Theres only so much you can teach a fighter when their at this stage of their careers! He will get excellant spar work with freddy and he will be pushed once he's in shape to perform! He needs guys that will move to him not just run or pressure him because his legs will be tested and no matter what your training regiment is at old legs just get old on a boxer! I like Cotto for the same reasons tv and ppv like him........he comes to fight and he doesn't cheat anyone! I believe his best is far behind but with the correct opponents he could have entertaining fights without getting hurt! Wish he'd quit!!

I agree with you, but if Cotto thinks Roach can help him then he probably will. A little better conditioning, and a confidence building trainer behind him can't hurt. I've always liked Cotto, I'm hoping Roach can help and I'd like to see see Cotto quit! He's not going to though.

Cotto is probably finished as a top fighter now, so no matter who trains him it will not help much. New trainer can mean new motivation and training methods but the key is for Cotto is to win and then take on the better fighters and make as much money before retiring.

When a fighter is at Cotto's level, an accomplished veteran, there is nothing that a trainer can do for him..

There are real tough trainers who can push him to train harder and help him mentally which is what Pedro Diaz did for him but because Cotto couldnt handle, he got an easier trainer in Roach..

What a joke. Roach isn't gonna do anything for him . Roach trains his fighters to be offensive and if he makes cotto do that, he's gonna get em knocked out ..

There aint shit Roach gonna do for him.
