    i'll start with...

    ajose olusegun.probably his best years are already behind him,which is a crying shame.should've been in with a top promoter years ago instead of wasting his time with maloney.
    ola afolabi.so much more to offer than mere journeyman,sparring partner status.needs to spend more time fighting,and less time in the tattoo artists' parlour.
    selcuk aydin.tough hombre with swarming,crowd pleasing style.destined for a short career at the top as a result,so needs to get a move on.
    any others worth a call...?

    Not necessarily too late because he's still young but I think Berto needs to make a mark in 2011.

    Povetkin needs to step it up too.

    I think these guys need a big year to cement themselves as major players and/or to seperate themselves from the rest of the pack in their respective divisions:

    Andre Berto
    Yuriokis Gamboa
    Paul Williams
    Lucien Bute
    Juan Manuel Lopez
    Tomaz Adamek
    David Haye
    Fernando Montiel

    just off the top of my head...

    Definitely Berto and I also agree with Mayweather as he needs Pacquiao more than Pacquiao needs him. Haye especially needs to go out with a bang in 2011 as he said he wants to retire in '11.

    Good shout. I'm a big fan of his, but he makes it too hard to himself sometimes when he could easily outbox most fighters but chooses to brawl a bit.

    Damn you, you beat me to Haye. Good picks with everyone else but Montiel should be facing Nonito so that's good. I'll add Devon because he needs to give the performance of his life in order to beat Bradley.
