    With all the big name fights coming in the next few months, its inevitable that one (or more) of the fighters which is highly respected in the boxing world is going to take a dive.

    I expect many posters will respond with Hatton. However, word out of Pacs camp is that he is not focused, Kessler for all we know could be another Lacy, Mosely could show his age, Taylors heart may not be in boxing anymore while Pavlick could be too crude for this level.... you get the point.

    So in the next couple months someone is losing some name recognition, who is it?

    Jermain Taylor
    Ricky Hatton

    Those are the two I'm confident that we will see their stock fall

    I'm not sure about Mosley, Cotto, Calzaghe, Kessler, Barrera, or Pacquiao yet.

    Pains me to say but it will be Hatton. I hope it isn't, but I think PBF is going to win.

    I don't think Hatton's stock should fall if he loses to PBF. He is the underdog.....hell, he could lose, put on a good show and his stock go up.

    No way, he would have lost to a far past his best ATG fighter. Pacman cannot afford to lose this fight to MAB. Not after losing to a past it Morales. And especially not after beating a far better version of MAB and his fans saying that Pacman is a better fighter now than he was then.

    Cotto

    After azucar KO's him doubts about his chin will arise and people will begin saying margo, williams, and cintron KO Cotto at WW.

    If Pac loses to MAB, he would be 3-2-1 vs. Marquez, Barrera, and Morales. Only a .500 winning percentage. I think he needs to win this fight.

    I think MAB is far past his best, and anyone who saw him fight in the early to mid 90's could not compare this version to the Prime MAB. Just because he is better than the fighters he has faced, doesn't make him prime.

    Nor have I said it would. I think MAB is far past his prime. My opinion has never changed. MAB was at the tail end of his prime when he beat Hamed IMO. He is far past it IMO even if he isn't shot. He is no where near the same fighter.

    This is a thread about fighters stock falling, not their accomplishments being erased. Pacmans stock falls if he loses to an aged fighter he has already beaten. And if he is ill prepared, that looks even worse because it would be of his own doing.

    Hatton stock will fall a little but it depends he could just up and retire from boxing if he loses to PBF.

    Taylor is close fight to call and i just dont know which way to go i mean if he comes in ready to fight he will win but if he comes in like he did against Spinks he could get TKO'd.

    Hatton more than Taylor because the Taylor fight will be close i feel and even if its close and he loses he will get a automatic rematch.

    Hatton will be the one i think.

    Pavlik's all hype. I won't be suprised in Jermain Taylor disposes of this guy in 5.
