Awesome use of alliteration right there.

Cotto shouldn't skip a beat with Diaz in his corner.

i think cotto will be fine in this fight, cause u got to remember cotto trains himself almost every fight. evangelista is just there to watch him and make sure hes doing everything hes suppose too. For margarito its been said cotto trained himself almost all fight, even on the countdown we saw cotto hitting the heavybag by himself and evangelista not even paying attention.

I could not agree with you more!!

you hit it right on the head...

Yes, Diaz has worked as both a trainer and cutman to fighters, and yes, Diaz has been Cotto's cutman. That said, there's a big difference between this and, say, Naazim Richardson stepping into the main role in Bernard Hopkins' corner. When Hopkins got rid of Bouie Fisher, Richardson had already been working very much in a trainer's capacity, working very closely with Hopkins.

If Diaz is hired to work with Cotto, which is a strong possibility, it will be a familiar face, but they would only have less than two months to form a different kind of working relationship than the one they'd had before.

Cotto should be just fine because he'll have a familiar face and also won't have the pressure of Evangelista in the corner. For the Margarito fight they were having problems and it showed because Cotto was not fighting the same way. He stayed in the ropes too much, etc. I still have Cotto winning by late TKO or UD.

maybe that's why cotto lost to margo, because he was training himself

Is the book Ghost of Manila a book trying to give Frazier more credit than he is given. I enjoyed watching the documentary and thought it was good but it seemed a bit bias and I felt it made ali look like a douche. It got me sympathizing towards Frazier and very little for ali.
