Cotto and Pacquao will be the 2 most improved fighters by yr. end.

Pacquiao has probably peaked in 2008. Even though i think he has what it takes to win it by a longshot, he will not stay prime forever. We're talking about a guy who started his career 15 years and about 9 divisions ago. Also, he is already talking about retirement. Never a good sign.

 

I agree, but Manny will start to leave his prime slowley probably around 2011. I dont think either would beat Floyd though, I mean they have a chance but I would still bet on Floyd.

 

Cotto is pretty dam good, maybe just tighten up a little more defensively, but he is such an offensive minded fighter that would change his entire style.

 

paquiao and cotto beating floyd? i dont think so dude i doubt cotto can beat clotey as far as paquiao goes he hasnt beat hatton so dont take things for granted cotto is too big for paquiao imo

 

I always felt Cotto had the best chance against Floyd. He fights very short, He throws a lot of punches, and he is a beat fighter, he doesnt just come in throwing useless punches, he uses his opponents momentum and movements to counter, something that gives a slick guy fits. He can take a great punch at welter, works the body great, and is tenacious. He's also very strong. Floyd is not going to have such an easy time coming back. Hes too much into the money thing now, and if hes coming back only for it, he might have a tough time.

 

I hope your right. And I hope Cotto is able to be a 100% for Clottey. I think he will needed.

 

I'm going to go ahead and say that this won't happen. Cotto and Pac are too old and too far into the game to make any drastic improvements. Both guys will pretty much continue to fight like they always have. Pac will make some subtle improvements. Cotto will be the same fighter at the end of the year that he is now.

 

I agree

 

Not quite it appears.

 

1/2 right.

 

hahaa!

 

I overestimated Cotto, he's arguably worse than he was at the beginning of the year.
