    Name A fighter you think has show the most improvement in their career. for example manni pacquiao went from being basically a nobody to P4P king of boxing. This happened infront of our eyes and no1 could have predicted that a skinny lil kid like him was going to manage that.

    I nominate manni Pac as the most improved fighter.

    ^^ Good call.. Pacman...

    Abner Mares was also developing into a complete fighter after going under professor Igacio Beristain but too bad for his setback..

    Probably Pac-Man. He's went from brawler to skilled technician at times.

    Miguel Cotto has shown some improvement since he moves up to welterweight

    Yeah, Pac started out as a forward-moving one-dimensional fighter who relied almost entirely on his left to a disciplined boxer with heat in both hands, effective lateral movement. It was quite a joy to watch him evolve.
