Most Improved Fighters

[OumaFan]

Definately agree with Jimboogie, Hopkins really stepped up in class. I know alot of people have been talking down the Jones rematch and I'll admit it won't be the greatest benchmark but to see how effective Hopkins counters this time around alone is peaking my interest.

Hopkins was better at 28 than he is now. He was just in with the greatest boxer of his time who made it hard to counter. James Toney was probably the best counter puncher in the sport when he fought Jones, but he couldn't get anything off either!

As for most improved especially in the last 12 months although I hate to say it Amir Khan!

He was clearly not at his peak though. Compared to now, meh he's 45, he's smarter but has declined physically, granted not as much as you would think for a 45 year old.

Most recently I would have to say Amir Khan, I don't think he would have stood a chance against Koltenik in his old style.

vic darchiniyan, gotta throw manny pac in there i guess.

[ElTerribleMorales]

the obvious one is Pacquiao, anyone who doesn't admit it is blind

but well Cotto, Katsidis to a certain point, and Darchinyan deserve a mention

[JonnyFolds]

Anyone think... just maybe Paul Williams? He went from pitty pat paul to putting some snap on the end of his punches for a change.

[CutMeMick]

Not being a dick or anything but most of the ones being mentioned are the obvious I thought we were going for the OTHER fighters.

As for Cotto... if only I could revive some of threads for you guys to read some of the things that we're said about him...

- Robot
- 1 dimensional
- Glass chin
- Wont go far
- He'll be KO'd in less then 20 fights

I can go on and on....

Humberto Soto is one guy who just seems to always be getting better to me. I think he will shock some people when he gets up to Lightweight
