    ...as a guy who could still make an impact.

    I am trying to stick to guys who are tying to get back on top, so some good names like, for example, Gomez or Brewster are excluded because they have nothing on the plate. Others, such as Golota, Thompson, Toney or Rahman are being excluded because at their ages, they are just unlikely to be getting back in the mix. However, unoficcially, vote for whomever you want.


    Please wait for poll to be posted, and please vote in poll.

    Only Tua and Arreola. Tua because of raw power, Arreola because he's still young enough to learn and will hopefully start getting into shape before fights.

    Tua & Peter.

    Peter if he stays in the 230's is still capable of doing some damage.

    If he gets his jab going again, he's can still do good things. Still one of the hardest hitters in the division, and his speed when in the 230's is under-rated.

    Tua, Arreola, Peter and Chagaev are the only guys I see there who have much shot of making an impact. Most of the rest are either never-wases, like Fraudley, or guys who weren't that good in the first place, like Ruiz.

    WTF? One loss for Chagaev and he's behind Tua? That's crazy!

    Tua; I can see him quite easily smashing his way to a mandatory defense given todays talent pool (if he stays dedicated and sharp). He won't beat a Klit (well, he could possibly get to Wlad ..) and valuev would be a snorefest; but if Haye beats Valuev, then somewhere along the line we'll get Haye vs. Tua. Which is a fight I see Tua winning quite easily ..


    Other than that, McCall mebbe? power + granite chin could get him into the top 10 again, from what i've seen lately he seems pretty damn focussed.

    Tua....he looked great in his fight against Cameron....and I'm not talking about his power....I'm talking about his head movement, footwork, presenting a small target moving forward, attacking on differnet lines and his speed & combos......oh and his power was huge as well :yep
