Steward, who has trained Thomas Hearns, Oscar de la Hoya, Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield, was reacting to rumors that Cotto is looking to hire him and work in his corner.
He believes that with his help, Cotto can knock Pacquiao out.
"Up until now, nobody [from Cotto's camp] has communicated with me, but I would love to be able to have the opportunity to work with Miguel. If we reach an agreement, I don't have any doubts that Miguel would knock Pacquiao out," Steward told Primera Hora.
Cotto began his training early this week at the Abner “Pin” Cotto Boxing Gym in Aguas Buenas, Puerto Rico.
He will train thrice a week to “establish a pre-training condition” before plunging to full training sessions beginning August 24.
Cotto and Pacquiao have agreed to fight at 145 pounds. The match will take place on November 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Pacquiao’s lawyer, Franklin Gacal, said that Top Rank Promotions boss Bob Arum has assured them it will be a title fight.
