    ...And the start of 2013 (Sturm)
    List some fighters that have fallen in 2012 because of big losses, and if you think they can and will get back where they were, close to it, or why not even better.

    Bute, Cotto, Sturm.

    I think Bute has a good chance, I'm a fan obviously.

    Pavlik, even tho he didn't lost a fight he fought sub-par opposition as Jaco, Sigmon and Rosinsky and then retired.
    Dawson was TKO'ed but I think he can come back.

    Cotto imo.

    It's a damned shame aswell, one of my favourite fighters. Had a good showing against Joy but he's never been elite at 154 imo. The first young natural 154lb fighter he's fought he lost and I don't think he will have anymore success title wise at 154. Against Trout we may of seen the end of the line for one of boxings true warriors.

    Pirog hasn't really fallen, but he has fallen off.

    Pirog just recovered from his shoulder injury and should be having a bounce back year in 2013.
