Based on them earning big fights and being avoided:

1. McCallum (avoided by Fab 5)
2. Herol Bomber Graham (avoided by everyone)
3. Lennox Lewis (avoided by Bowe/Holyfield/Moorer/Tyson/Foreman/Seldon/Botha)
4. Vitali Klitchko? (Did Lennox, Tyson, RJJ, Byrd/Ruiz avoid him?)
5. Wlad Klitchko?(Did Lennox, RJJ, Byrd/Ruiz avoid him?)
6. Junior Witter (avoided by Hatton for 7 years, mandatory to Mayweather, couldnt get shots at Cotto/Gatti/Harris - he jsut beat Harris as WBC Champ, wanted Corrales, now trying to get Malignaggi in the ring)

2 & 6 are from the same gym :D

Most at the time wanted to see Hearns/Duran over Hearns/McCallum; then when McCallum had another chance to fight one of the fab four, he blew the Kalambay fight.

Shame he did not avoid Kalmabay, or indeed Jackson's right hand;)

lol on lewis avoiding vitali and wlad, he beat vitali when he was pretty much retired so why should an out of shape none peak lewis stop his retirement plans for a fight he won and only did for an extra payday.

McCallum is a good pick,Toney was avoided by Benn ,Eubanks and Watson

Were the Kalambay fights (against McCallum and Graham) fair results? I didnt catch those, and dodgy decisions are notorious in Italy

Kalambay must have been some fighter though if he beat McCallum and Graham fair and square

Not sure if he was ducked but noone was queing up to fight Quartey. Excluding maybe Oscar everyone made a big loop around Ike
