    Nathan Cleverly.

    Takes too many punches off of B level challengers, as soon as he steps up to fight a Cloud or even a Pascal, he'll be out of his depth. Assuming he does step up, and Frank doesn't milk his title reign.

    My mistake, thought you asked 'did you expect to' misread your question.

    Amir Khan - I think he's very good, but also over hyped and overconfident. Someone is going to put him out and its going to change him as a fighter. Just a matter of time.

    Brandon Rios - Hype train fighter. Just don't see him lasting long. Reminds me of Fernando Vargas.

    Do you mean guys who are not going to live up to their hype?, or do you mean guys who's lives are going to have a tragic or near tragic ending?

    Brandon Rios - Will jump back go up and down in weight too much that have short career.

    Victor Oriz - Known for getting very cocky and ahead of himself. lso seems mentally unstable

    That's a much more diffcult question to answer. A lot of boxers find them self in trubble with the law, but how much is that a result of being young stupid and pampperd. When they grow up they turn out to be almost normal adults. Look at Mike Tyson. For the longest time his life was a downwards spraril. At the very least it apperas that he has righted the ship, and will live out a fairly normal life. I think the Edwin Valeros are rare.

    Brandon Rios strikes me as a loose cannon.

    he has a big mouth but he seems harmless, im going with ortiz or gamboa, ortiz seems like a sociopath these days and seems like the guy that could snap eventually and gamboa already had women trouble so it wouldnt be unexpected if something happened.

    Ortiz seems like a ****er who is just fed up of playing De la Hoya Jr. He looked like a man possesed in the faceoff with Mayweather. Think Gamboa has beat the **** outta his missus once or twice aswell.

    Speaking of that, who would have guessed Mayorga would still be around looking decent?
