I'd say there's a better chance of the winner of Vazquez / Marquez being fighter of the year.

There will be too many guys getting better fights overall

Cotto: Urkal -> Margarito -> ?

Mayweather: de la Hoya -> ?

it is far too early say.

especially if he loses to any of these guys.
Ricky's style will make for a great match against N'Dou a very winnable fight for him

If Ricky fights Ben Rabah, I think he will have problems with him, Ben Rabah can't hit
hard, but he is very, very slick, and could slap his way to victory.

If Ricky takes on Castillo, I think you will see a very different JLC and Hatton than in
their last performances, but Castillo's body attack, very well may be Ricky's Achilles heel.
