he's a trainer...he should know that open workouts are just for show and much isn't going to be revealed. when has cotto ever looked impressive in an open workout? or any workout footage for that matter?

Good point. It is interesting why he'd say that. I'm not questioning it though because he's seen boxing and lived it from the inside out, but I'm also not putting any stock into it because all that matters is fight night.

There are things you can pick up on if you know what you're looking at.

being a trainer myself, i always love to hear what other trainers have to say....especially if there's substance. unfortunately...what he's saying lacks substance. maybe he was just talking just to be talking? who knows? who's basheer training these days? anyone noteworthy?

Eddie Chambers. I think essentially what he was saying was that Cotto does not look like he's doing the type of drills he would expect to see him doing for a guy with the speed of Mayweather....could mean something, could mean nothing, but the main point is, he's not impressed, so Mayweather by beatdown. |
