Emanuel Steward offering his services to train Cotto

[Gandalf]

It doesn't seem like an obvious matchup at all. Cotto has done very well with the system he has had, and I really feel the Clottey fight was made a lot tougher because of the cut. There is no real need for change, especially not with Emmanuel Steward in his corner. Lordy, lordy.

I think Emanuel just wants to help out, not take over as lead trainer. He sees a fighter with a great heart and a champion-like spirit. Not only that, Cotto was disciplined enough to keep his defensive stance and ring intelligence sustained throughout the championship rounds.

*sigh...... ... I'm going to just say it.

Cotto looks like damaged goods, and I know Steward just wants to help a great fighter become "GREAT."

The Cotto that fought before he fought Tony, was a devastating fighter. I believe that Margarito's "plaster of hammers" did cause some slight damage. In this 'game' any edge or small disadvantage can be life-changing. I believe Steward sees this and only wants to help a boxer who was born to fight.

I don't see a problem with this, his uncle is not training him, so I say why not. His camp is already kind of a mess. Steward is a great trainer. He will tell you how it is. Cotto knows what to do in the ring, but Emanuel could just be that driving voice. Giving him straight talk.I am sure steward could give him a thing or two as well.
