    Two that immediately spring to mind are: Ruslan Provodnikov in his loss to Tim Bradley & Lucas Matthysse in his loss to Zab Judah

    Fonfara for sure, gave Stevenson a run for his money, who since has been picking the biggest cherries at 175

    good call with Provo Hans :good

    John Molina finally gained a little respect in his performance against Lucas be he squandered it in the Soto and abysmal(?) performance against Broner.

    Yeah the Bey performance and beating he took from Lucas almost made us all forget that little hiccup.

    Upon being schooled by Froch but showing tremendous guts, Andre Dirrell became briefly relevant

    Oddly enough, he ended up becoming relevant again after his spirited performance vs Degale

    To an extent, Felix Sturm after losing to De La Hoya. How big was he in Germany prior to that fight. :huh

    Sergio after the loss to Williams.

    I think he's referring to his Khan performance.

    Molina had been Lucas'd before he fought Broner. The beating he took in that fight was horrendously savage. Even the boxing gods winced at times during that. And then the hammering that Soto ungraciously handed out to Molina directly after that pounded the last vestiges of stuffing out of him. Molina was all but done after Lucas, much like that clown Lego Hair Garcia was after facing him and I suspect Ruslan is now. :deal

    Lucas beat Judah and Ruslan was robbed of at least a draw against Bradley too. Likewise Sturm beat Oscar and Sergio beat Williams as well. :patriot :dead
