    Co-sign on all of these. Antillon is still working his way up I feel, but the others should be taking more difficult fights (or in the case of Choi, making fights at all).

    I'll add King Kong Agbeko and the worst offender of all, Zsolt Erdei. Kasim Howard is another one who annoys me. He looked like a decent HW prospect, then poof he disappears. I guess with a guy at that low of a level, it could be that he's gone to prison or got injured or something and it never got reported.

    Andre Ward. Although some of it has been due to injuries. He was steadily raising his opposition since he turned pro. He had a bad '06 due to injuries. But this year he has beaten Rubin Williams decent name although shot. He is fighting this coming weekend. I expect him to have a great '09.

    Good picks, guys...but instead of just dropping names try to support them with reasons you want to see them take on a higher profile/what you see as their upside/what dangers might stand in their path stepping up/maybe a two or three year plan to get them where they ought to be. :good

    Joan Guzman needs to not go six months (MAX!) without fighting anymore. No excuses, no postponements, just fight. :(

    Andy is out right now. He is having surgery to have some scar tissue removed from over his left eye.

    Lee should forget Vera and move on. No need for a rematch. Andy should go after Kirkland, an undefeated fighter who beat Vera after Lee lost to him. There's also McKart, Zuniga, Ornelas, and several others who would do more for Andy than a rematch with Vera.

    Lee-Kirkland would be fun. Dangerous for both actually.

    Isn't McKart fighting Karmazin? I honestly don't see him getting by Roman at this point.

    Is it harsh to say Cloud?, Im a big fan, would like to see him start making some noise, even calling folk out or something. Like to see him step up again next fight if he doesnt get the shot at Dawson. He seems a bit quiet considering he's the mando.


    Kessler aswell, his talent is massive, cant stand seeing it wasted, hopefully the march date against a "Name" comes to fruition.
