The guy is everything I look for in a boxer. Constant work ethic for 12 rounds, great performer, gives you your money's worth, well educated and he goes after the best. Two be one title away from being completely undisputed is pretty special for a guy of 24. He'll be around for a while and I Imagine we'll see some classics from him in the future.
2. Miguel Cotto
I'm English, and I'm flying to New York to watch the Cotto fight against Mosley. Aside from Hatton, he's my favourite fighter, and I honestly believe Cotto has the ability to be P4P the best in the world. Hitmandonny said he liked Cotto but because he wasn't Puerto Rican, he'd find it harder to get behind him. For me, it's great to have national pride, but I will always get behind a fighter like Cotto. Similar to Juan, he's goes after the best and as a boxing fan you can't ask for much more than that.
3. Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik
Pavlik is amazing. I thought his fight with Miranda was fantastic, but he eclipsed that in the performance against Taylor. For me, including the Marquez-Vazquez fight, Taylor-Pavlik is 2007 FOTY for me. You gotta love a puncher, because they can change the find in the blink of an eye.
4. "Bad" Chad Dawson
There are going to be few Light-Heavies who will be able to stand the pace with this guy in the future. He's young, he's a champion and he's showing world class ability already. I'd like to see him step up a gear soon though. Woods, Tarver, Hopkins & Jones will hopefully be soon on his agenda.
5. Edwin "Dinamita" Valero
Punchers are a similar theme for me throughout this, so someone with 22 KO's from 22 fights is pretty much a given to be in here. I really want to see him in better class though, so I can judge whether or not my pick was right.
