    Domestically Peter Oboh.

    I think Breidis Prescott falls into the category. David Haye, probably.

    Aside from the Super 6 Carl Froch is going to find it hard to come by big fights after he loses his title.

    Who wants to fight a bloke with a track record of knocking folks out? One hit wonder or not (and I think you're right, he probably is) he's going to struggle to get any decent fights.

    Yeah but his last fight showed you get someone with decent skills and can stick to a gameplan Prescott should get beat. Then again his record showed he has good power.

    How could i forget Vernon Forrest after he beat Mosley. No one fancied fighting him because of the height and skills he possessed.

    If we are talking about high risk fights for lesser financial reward i would think the following would qualify -

    Chris John
    Humberto Soto
    Steve Cunningham

    Ishy said Sergei Dzindziruk. That's a good call. Just reading boxing news he's going to be co-promoted by Golden Boy so maybe he will get the props and fights he deserves.

    Chad Dawson, Calzaghe didn't fancy it much and Hopkins wanted none of it, he's only just about come to the realisation that Dawson is one of the few fights out there for him.

    Sakio Bika, top of the list. If he wasn't so dirty he might not be.

    Guillermo Jones anyone??? tough fighter with good skills and a wba title yet nothings really on the agenda for him at the moment.

    Add Mario Santiago to the club as well...gets a draw in a really good fight against Luevano and nothings happened since for him.

    Maybe. I'm a big fan of Guillermo, but the fact is the cruiserweights have always had little fanfare. Except for Adamek as he has a large Polish following, the rest are scraping together whatever money they can.

    Yeah that's very true...also with Adamek maybe going up to heavyweight it will lose more interest again.

    Have to agree Losfer cos considering the fighters such as Ruiz and a few others who get constant chances to fight for a world title he's been unlucky compared to them and he was a beast in his prime :bbb
