Can't base this opinion on anything factual.
But I think Phelps will continue to improve, especially in shorter races. He added weight training only recently and the full benefit is still ahead of him. I think Crocker must truly focus his training to beat Phelps in 2008.
Phelps is probably the USA's fastest 100 freestyler now. He continues to show that he is the strongest man in the water over the 2nd half of a race and he's improving most in the first half. Lochte is capable of an upset but the sun, the moon, and venus have to line up a certain way for Phelps to be beaten.
I think Peirsol has to worry about Lochte more than Phelps does.
