    I think Cotto's done the best thing for this fight, stick with the the tried and trusted team, minus the snakes head. Miguel's got all the skills he needs to dismantle his next opponent, he is a vet now and knows what to do in a boxing ring, a bit like Joe with Enzo, Cotto's got the skills not his uncle. After this one though I would like to see him with maybe R. Mayweather or Manny as some one posted above, I think they are two guy's who could add something to Miguel's skill set, the way Cotto dodged Margarcheato's punches at the end of the fifth round shows he could mesh well with uncle Roger and that would be the road that I would like to see Cotto take.

    I've never really seen the need for a trainer during a fight, I mean they all say the same shit, you got to work your jab, go to the body more, keep busy etc.

    How hard can that job be really?

    As for training him to fight, he already knows everything he's going to know so I don't think it matters who trains him as long as they have a close relationship and bond.

    The only thing Cotto has going for him is he's 28.

    This guy's career is almost over. He won't psychologically ever recover from the Margarito loss. He'll never be the same. And Clottey will do to Cotto what Foreman did to Frazier.

    This guy Cotto is in deep trouble. And now he's got the Nutritionist. To hear he is a spoiled baby in the gym doesn't surprise me at all. I had his juvenile number 4 years ago already. Yes he did gain a bit more boxing skill than I thought he ever would, but as we saw his stamina is in deep question, and his heart doesn't seem to be there when the going gets rough (if in doubt, please see Round 11 again, and how he took 2 knees--did Joe Frazier take any knees against Foreman? What this tells me is this NEW YOUNG GENERATION doesn't have the warrior heart that the older generations had. Cotto is no exception)

    SHOUT OUT TO TITFAN AND RICAN AND ALL THE OTHER COTTO-LOVERS:

    YOUR BOY IS FINISHED. HE NEVER, EVER WAS ANYTHING NEAR THE HYPE HE HAS RECEIVED.

    A WILFREDO BENITEZ HE WILL NEVER BE. Fighters like Wilfredo are a dying breed.

    After the Margo conviction, I have been at a loss for words for any other thread regarding him or pretty much any other subject...I think there is a small possibility that this could happen to alot of Cotto fans after the JC fight. Simply be at a loss for words after a loss.
    The key is Self-discipline.

    I agree with you. Some fighters attain near-greatness, like Fernando Vargas, and then just surprisingly fold. Miguel Cotto is one of those fighters.
