    I think I still have that issue :lol:

    They were all decent prospects when that was published. Still funny though.

    The only one I was ever impressed with was Guinn when he beat Grant and Dokiwari. However, his mind failed him as his career matured and his stock fell rapidly as he continued to underperform.

    Mesi did a lot for what he had, never thought much of him despite his destruction of TOS. He was a brutal KO waiting to happen had he made it to the top (Wlad would have ended his career, Vitali would have brutalised him, Lewis would have destroyed him, or a boxing lesson from byrd, or get hugged n beat by ruiz)

    but he did good for himself, was a solid heavyweight just not champion material (imo) and a case could be made for him beating everyone else outside the top guys. Probably would have beaten Guinn had they faced off.

    Mesi was doing OK until Jirov's rabbit punch ended his career. Still, :rofl

    notice the top: Mayweather, Gatti, Morales- a much better cover picture if they flipped the main story to the secondary story

    Hard to believe all three guys were hot prospects once. Mesi and Guinn weren't bad though. Guinn had the talent but not the mindset, Mesi had the mindset but lacked the skill. Audley... well, he won a gold medal. I suppose that has to count for something.

    Good call... Who would have they theoretically replaced?

    Pea (easy call), not sure about Gatti, Chavez (? for Morales)
