Damn...I hate hearing about **** like this. Scary, man. Could happen to any one of us.

I really hope everything goes well with Arnulfo. I really like him as a coach. I dont think he will be able to coach Chocolatito anymore. Id like to see him with Angel Garcia. They both speak spanish and Angel was a fan of Alexis. I dont like his ducking techniques though.

Abel Sanchez makes the most sense. Too much sense to not do if he loses his trainer. He already trains a lot in big bear as far as I know (not sure if full time or not) and being around that stable full time I'm sure would only elevate his game even more.

No offense man but I think Angel Garcia would be an absolutely horrible idea and I'm not sure Angel is enough of a trainer for Chocolatito. No knock on Angel but Danny (his son) is one thing..but a polished diamond with that high a talent level is another. I'd rather him go something like Abel, Freddie Roach, Pedro Diaz (I think it'd be a good fit and theres a big Nica population out here in south fl) and if he was willing/able most definitely Nacho. Nacho would be seemingly an amazing fit..he can train in altitude and be in a spanish speaking country and Nacho has trained that type of virtuoso talent.

I'm pretty sure I've heard people say Chocolatito doesnt have a huge ego and is very receptive in training so he'd likely do fine anywhere...But in terms of best fit..Abel if he's in the states or Nacho if he could somehow land that.


I think if Floyd Sr or Roger were a bit younger it'd be interesting. Best fit I'd doubt but I'd definitely be interested what they'd do with him defensively since they'd have so much to work with.

I wish you may complete recovery as he's brought this kid a very long way...

So sad to hear. I wish him a fast and speedy recovery.
