    For me:

    Zab Judah
    Derrick Gainer
    Miguel Cotto

    These 3 Fighters had all the gifts to be SKILLED BOXERS but either tried to BRAWL too much, lack of Desire, Defense and Stamina...screwed their careers up (Although has teamed with Steward, that could make and ATG before he retires). Cotto prabably has one of the best Jabs in the sport...but rarely uses it. Judah Hand's Speed is second to none..But sometime he just TRHOWS PUNCHES INSTEAD OF SETTING UP PUNCHES. And Gainer...Being that tall (5'10) at 126lbs-130lbs and a Southpaw and doesn't use his height, he always allowed smaller fighter to close space without sticking jabs in their face. Damn that Pissed me off!!!

    Oscar de La Hoya. He's a left hander. What would he be like had he fought southpaw?

    Amir Khan. He has physical gifts to become a slick fighter. How well would he use the slick BLack American style?

    Kessler, Lacy and Arreola (For Arreola a trainer who takes away the many cheeseburgers he's eating)

    Paul Williams-maybe if he had grown up with steward and actually learned to ****ing box like a tall guy he'd be a real star now.

    Chad Dawson- maybe if he'd been with mayweather sr the whole time he wouldn't be such a ******.

    Judah and Cotto are great picks. kelly pavlik is a good guy i would like to see him be successful. same with jermain taylor. all the physical tools, but a weak mentality. ricky hatton could've learned better defense.

    Hatton with freddie roach would be interesting.

    Victor Ortiz with Nacho Beristain would STILL be interesting. Not a bad idea for vic imo

    Kelly Pavlik should have a new trainer as soon as possible. He has both power and stamina, but he has no defense and skills.

    Judah's problem is mental.

    Cotto was fine, he just had a few defensive holes. Joining with Steward was a mistake because he's going to try to change his style and that's going to hurt him in the end.

    Another fighter is Juan Diaz. He kept losing fight after fight. Whenever this guy fought, I always heard his mom or the woman trainer (I'm not sure who the hell she was exactly) taught him at the ringside. She taught him all the time with her noise from the start till the end. That's stupid! Diaz was losing his focus because of that *****!

    Kelly Pavlik.
    Although I respect that Jack Loew is his trainer since several years (afaik he was already Kelly's trainer in his amateur days) and so somehow brought Pavlik to the middleweight crown ... it seems to me that Pavlik can't learn furthermore boxing skills from Loew ... especially defensive skills or something like "How to box a slick southpaw".
