Collazo, Cotto, Cintron, and Mosley

I know he's training Jose Cotto, Daniel "Azuquita" Jimenez, Gilberto Reyes, Victor Bisbal, Mario Santiago, some other guys I can't remember and some new good prospects. Evangelista is a very good trainer, very serious man. He studies their opponents very well and draws good game plans. I heard he's with them every step of the way, including the running at 4 am or so. He also trains a lot of amateur fighters in their gym and helps out in amateur events as well. Cool cheers for the info mate!

Orishman, Off topic but Whats Cottos Uncle like as a trainer? Who he got beside Miguel?

I am tired of this match up between Boricuas knocking each other out of the picture!!! Orishman, Off topic but Whats Cottos Uncle like as a trainer? Who he got beside Miguel?

I know we've all been wondering what the fuck is going on with these 4 guys and their next fights. I spoke with Luis Collazo's publicist and he said that the Mosley-Collazo fight was right there, almost made, but last minute the Mosley camp chose Cintron. Now I'm being informed that the IBF owes Cintron 100 grand from the last fight and that no contract has been signed. So with Collazo the odd man out again, street teams have been assigned in Puerto Rico to build hype for a clash with Collazo and Cotto in the summer. Optimistically, that fight would generate a huge fuss in NY but realistically, Arum isn't going to get along with Collazo promoter Don King so Cotto-Margarito is looking much more possible. Hopefully in the next week this can all be resolved and we'll see whats going on. I am tired of this match up between Boricuas knocking each other out of the picture!!!

maybe collazo and zab judah should fight each other, collazo is not getting any breaks, i don't know if having don king as a promoter helps him or hurts him. i guess when collazo signed with don king it was the right move, king had judah, rivera and corey spinks under him. so it made sense, now king doesn't have any real welterweights and causing collazo problems. from what i've been reading it seems that collazo would fight anyone, you cant say that about a lot of these guys.

Zab Judah needs an Atlas in his corner to really put him in check. With guys like Judah, it must be frustrating to coach them because there are so many intangibles about them that doesn't concern the ring. Guys like Moorer, Judah, Toney. Maybe even Tyson. I would imagine that it would be annoying as hell to keep them on track, the worst part being that they are very skilled.

NOOOO!!!! Shields isn't exactly a great disciplinarian IMO. Same with Aaron Snowell. They don't have that assertiveness that Judah needs. Shit, my bad i meant to type Jessie Reid? Mr Motavator, NO LAPSES ZAB! FOCUS DAMN IT!

Ronnie sheilds? NOOOO!!!! Shields isn't exactly a great disciplinarian IMO. Same with Aaron Snowell. They don't have that assertiveness that Judah needs.

Maybe even Floyd SR or Jeff Mayweather so they can help teach him how to protect that fragile chin of his. But most likely Steward would be the best fit, it would help make him a more completef fighter. I just don't think Steward has the time for him though.

Ronnie sheilds?

Judah needs someone like Dan Birmingham in his corner. No-nonsense kind of guy who tells you what the fuck you need to do straight up.

yeah I know what you mean. I think he needs to get his dad from out his corner and get a real trainer to get his head right. He has all the skills but way too many mental lapses. I can't argue with you on this one... Makes a fuckin change! Lol :D

I think him and teddy would end up fighting each other before he ever steps in the ring. Steward I think would have the patience to deal with him and maybe Mcgirt and this Birmingham guy I keep hearing about. what do you think? I agree with Atlas, I mean if Atlas won't tolerate Maske, who the fuck will he tolerate? I dunno, he's exactly like Cus D'Amato with the principles. McGirt and Steward would be the bext options because they are both street smart guys who know how to get underachievers to do what they're supposed to. If Judah had someone else in his corner all along, we would be talking about how great a fighter he is right now, not how to bring him back from boxing hell.

no way in hell would atlas an zab work i have always liked kenny weldon or nacho beristean (sp) i dont know if nacho speaks english Kenny Weldon I don't think would make a good mix, I don't think he'd take well to the gangsta shit that Zabs about. Beristein, I think he only works with Mexican fighters.

I'm not sure his father is exactly the best disciplinarian. What do you think about Teddy Atlas or Emmanuel Steward? I think him and teddy would end up fighting each other before he ever steps in the ring. Steward I think would have the patience to deal with him and maybe Mcgirt and this Birmingham guy I keep hearing about. what do you think?

I hate predidicting Zab fights, he's very skilled, southpaw, and a leathal 1punch hitter but i pick the top boys against him coz he can be KOed and is so inconsistant yeah I know what you mean.

I think what is missing out of the mix is Zab. That is the only marquee fight Collazo will be able to get with out a belt at this point. Unless Mosley decides to take it after cintron fight falling through. Cotto has Oktay to mop up right fast. Then most likely he'll fight the winner of William/Margarito. Cintron has contract issuses to settle and he should probably look to fight Mathysse or qunitana or Julio, somebody to build his confidence up before challenging the Mosley's of the world. Then he probably will try and avenge his loss to margarito. about the time all this goes down, Floyd will be back and defeat Mosley and whoever else is leftover. Most likely Cotto I hate predidicting Zab fights, he's very skilled, southpaw, and a leathal 1punch hitter but i pick the top boys against him coz he can be KOed and is so inconsistant

Mosley is older now...throws a lot less combos...isn't what he used to be. But he can still punch. He can still throw hard, sharp, accurate shots to the head. If he ever faces Cotto, he will brain him.
