    and make an impact? Another George Foreman is a push, but is there anyone who could come back and make a real statement?

    Joe Calzaghe could still make some noise...

    George Foreman himself could most likely beat the majority of heavyweights out there right now...

    Tito Trinidad, if he could make the 160-168 range (not likely) could run up a string of wins over guys like Peter Manfredo, Angel Hernandez, Brian Vera etc that could put him in the top ten for a fight Pavlik or Lucian Bute.

    He wouldn't win either fight, but what I'm saying is that Trinidad could rumble with the top 10-15 guys at that weight which, considering his popularity, would really make some noise. The guy could definitely pick up an alphabet belt.

    only calzaghe comes to mind. hopefully, enough people will talk and say he needs to fight bute and the winner of the super 6 and the paydays are big enough to consider it.

    I think Calzaghe's 0 would go.

    I still think Jermain Taylor could come back. He just needs a good rest. But I think his stamina issue will still be there and the age factor won't help but we'll see.
