most improved fighters

[talip bin osman]

of all the boxers that u know, who among them has shown the greatest improvement in the course of their professional career?

i will take

marco antonio barrera
manny pacquiao &
bernard hopkins...

[MANGLER]

Aside from those mentioned, I'd say JMM. Maybe he's always had the ability to go all out and just didn't show it. But the last few yrs he's become almost effective goin after his man as he is as a counterpuncher, which makes him more dangerous, and more fun to watch.

...Joe Calzaghe. He became a lot smarter dealing with rough tactics later in his career and the dude was the best adapter during a fight when he was fighting. So most improved during the fight I guess. He also improved mentally too by becoming a smarter fighter.

dont u think its a marketing move on his part?

bcoz i think as great and excellent in the ring as he is, he really lacks charisma & ability to make casual fans watch his fights...

I agree with the one's the threadstarter mentioned. Also, Paul Williams after the loss to Quintana he has been sitting on his punches for more leverage. Floyd Mayweather Jr after his close win to Castillo, He became a much smarter fighter. Miguel Cotto after being rocked by Corley and Torres, Hasn't been rocked like that anymoe except in the Judah fight. Those 3 have improved significantly IMO.
