I was just thinking about this, thought I'd post a thread to see if anyone could come up with another example. I remember when I first joined this place way back(I think 2005) Cotto was still basically a prospect, with huge doubts about how far he could make it etc. Obviously some people on here had been following him for several years before I got a chance to watch him fight, I think Corley was the first opponent I saw him in with. Anyways, since then we've seen him become a bonaified world champion and p4p fighter, beating Faglianni, Quintana, Judah, MOsley, and Clottey. Having now suffered two brutal beatings from that talentless blockhead and Manny Pacquiao, it's safe to say he is entirely damaged goods, at least I reckon it is. My question is basically, in a similar time frame, have we witnessed anything close to the meteoric rise and fall of another fighter? In the last six or seven years, name anyone who comes close.
