    Malignaggi in his loss against Cotto. However, he's not "active" anymore being that I think he retired.

    Honestly Algieri's performance against Khan was very interesting.

    He looked huge compared to the 5' 9.5" 160 pound Khan who is hardly a small welterweight....and he had improved a ridiculous amount over his short time with JDJ....I look forward to seeing what he can do in the future.

    Plus Molina was paid by Al Haymon not to throw any punches toward Broner's glass chin :nod

    He did seem strangely reluctant to let his hands go. Even though he'd been Lucas'd and was shot to **** by then, surely he would've them go more freely given the power he wields in his fists and the glass Broner is packing in his mandible section? It's very odd he didn't given that.

    Vitali Klitschko

    He may have lost the Lewis fight, but he won the event.

    The only ones that spring to mind are Algieri and may Herrera.
    Maybe Maidana after the first Floyd fight?

    I'd have thought he became relevant either after the loss to Kotelnik or the win against Ortiz. The loss to Khan did boost both of them though.
