    These fighters need to get moving quickly. List boxers who have the talent to mix it up at the top of their division and be active, but don't due to personal/managerial/promoter issues. Note: boxers on this list must be in their prime or close to it.

    My list:

    Gamboa - 50 cent; horrible rapper, horrible promoter.
    Solis - Fat ****.
    Dirrell - Schooled Froch, but doesn't like boxing?
    Povetkin - Scared to death of Wladimir (will be removed if he fights in July).
    Haye - Payday diva, doesn't like boxing.

    Dirrell is the dark master, with Gamboa a close second!

    These are good. Vitali is not rotting as he is quite far past his prime. Charr looked like a retirement fight, and so far it still looks that way. Maybe he will have another soft touch but I feel he is done mixing it up at the top.

    I don't think Ajose is going to continue boxing after the beating he took from Lucas. He was relatively inactive, getting older, then that fight happened. I predict he will not fight again.

    Of those so far mentioned, I second the choices, in order of most wasted rotting:

    Dirrell
    Clottey
    Kirkland
    Gamboa
    Boystov

    edit: Ooh, Robert Helenius big time... Injuries kinda don't count, but still...

    All roads lead to Andre Dirrell.

    Honestly, Helenius was becoming a wrecking ball before the Chisora fight. He was only 14 or so fights deep and had a lot of names (a bit washed up) that he had KO'd. I really don't know what to think of the guy. Did he look like **** against Chisora because of a broken hand?

    Broken hand or not, I thought he lost all 12 rounds to Chisora, almost every single one of them was very decisive too.

    But yes, his wins over faded veterans was impressive heading into the Chisora fight.

    Good one.

    I'm a huge fan of Dirrell and is disappointing to see his lack of effort to get his career back on track. The guy created two blue prints against two good fighters Froch and AA. He schooled both of them better than Ward imo. Neither of them had success hitting Dirrell, expect for the DQ punch of course.
