re-birth of Cotto...

[TitoFan]

Cotto looked like the guy that fought Margarito years ago... he looked like the guy that terrorized the lite welterweight div... people ask,"how do u beat Floyd"..well, there it is... effective aggression. Finally ,Cotto gets rid of the friends who train him and goes with a real trainer..big difference.

We need to be a little careful here. Delvin was the perfect guy to look great against. Not taking anything away from Cotto as it was a master performance but... Btw Diaz was a real trainer and not a relative or friend.

Diaz is not only a real trainer, but a very good one. But you're underestimating Roach's role. Would Diaz have had Cotto come out with his old aggresion and vicious shots to the body? Diaz did admirably preparing Cotto for Margacheato and for Floyd. But would he have been as effective in getting last night's results out of Cotto? Food for thought.

Fair enough. Lets see if the old Cotto seek and destroy mission works beyond the likes of Rodriguez. To early to make that call. Like I said imo Delvin was the perfect opponent to look great with and I'm not sure Diaz would have done anything different once he studied the tape.

Yeah, one fight is too small a sample size to make a good judgement. It happened to work in this instance, but who knows when it comes to the next fight. It's easy to second guess Cotto's trainer moves, since he's made so many. But other than Joe Santiago, I think they've all worked out pretty good, for the most part.
