    Sakio Bika
    Hugo Garay

    judah still brings something. he has a following and everyone knows who he is. he's also one of these frustrating super-gifted fighters who never harnessed his talent.

    judah's still seen as a high risk high reward fighter for me. people like to watch him fight.

    The way to check whether your gut instinct is right when answering this question is to think back how many times prospects and fellow contenders are calling these guys out...if they aren't calling them out at all, they're bad risk/reward.

    I never heard anyone call out Bika, Choi, Garay, etc.

    Nah,I don't agree,at least not anymore,Judah is seen as a easy win now.If you beat him you don't get any credit,look at Baldomir for example,that wasn't a one hit wonder,Baldomir would have beaten him 8 out of 10 times.3 years ago he was good though.

    judah's still a dangerous stepping stone fighter and after his performance against cotto it's still more a case of most promoters won't want their up and coming fighter in a ring with him.

    judah can still kake a talented but under-developed or over-hyped fighter look ordinary.

    judah got a lot of credit for his loss against cotto and his stock didn't fall from that.

    Some good names so far, but as their is a definate lack of british names (mainly because there aren't that many dangerous brits out there), so i'd like to add Junior Witter's stablemate, Jon Thaxton to this list. To be fair, he has has his fair share of bad nights, but this guy is someone who I would never bet against.

    Definately not Zab Judah, as has been suggested.

    If anything he's low risk/high reward. Can only fight for 4 rounds, hasn't won against anyone decent in ages and looks great on your resume plus generates cash.
