Ok boys lets name them After reading plenty of threads regarding this weekends big events I noticed people still think guys such as Cintron are all hype or just plain exposed. Now I do think that Cintron is probably the weakest of the current champs, but that does not take away from the fact that he is probably the hardest pure puncher of the bunch that combined with the work Manny has been putting him makes him one of those "Big Risk Low Reward" type of guys. Obviously anyone who beats him will looked upon as beating up on Margo scraps but I think Cintron might shake up this division. This list can include belt holders..... Well who are the those darkhorses My List: Cintron Rocky Juarez Mayorga Clottey Monte Barret Guerillmo Jones Andrew Golata Shannon Briggs Zahir Raheem Humberto Sosa Luis Collazo Paulie Mallanaggi Kendal Holt Ricardo Torres Edison Miranda Nate "Galaxy Warror" Travis Simms Margo?? Allen Green
I don't think these guys are big risks anymore esp Barret for the fact that Cliff Couser destroyed him in 2 rounds. And Mayorga is more of a low risk high reward fighter nowadays.
What are Monte Barrett and Ricardo Mayorga doing on that list?? :huh Mayorga, who wasn't that good to begin with, is now little more than a punching bag for aging ATGs, and where the hell is the risk in Barrett now? A couple of years ago maybe, but what's he done lately to equal his performances against Mesi, Gunn and Beck?
Rocky Juarez - This content is protected - If he can pick up his pace he could be dangerous. Ricardo Mayorga - This content is protected - I think he is pretty much done at this point, the conqueror of Forrest isn't going to be doing much conquering to any of the current big names. Especially after the whippings both Tito and Hoya put on him. Then again, he is in the Light Middle division..which is short on supply of big time fighters. Monte Barrett - This content is protected - Doesn't have the punch to scare anyone off, and when a protected fighter like Valuev picks him to fight against, you know there must be a reason. Andrew Golota - This content is protected - There is always the chance he might make you a woman, or otherwise injure you severely.:!: This content is protected Shannon Briggs - This content is protected - He is a risk for the first round, that is about it. In the press conference stage he performs well, but when it comes to performance in the ring, he has nothing. It would be an easy "name" win for anyone at this point. Antonio Margorito - This content is protected - This guy is in a bad spot right now, if he thinks people were ducking him before..now that he doesn't have a belt he might as well be blacklisted. Williams might give him a rematch though, or he might move on to bigger better things.
I think there's a difference between BR/LR and Most Avoided. Casamayor is among the most avoided, I agree, but beating him at least gives one credibility for marketing purposes going forward. 1) I think Margarito now soars to the top of this list. He is a serious fighter coming off a loss. 2) Carlos Quintana belongs on here, too, because his style could be confusing for a lot of fighters. Cotto made him look much worse than he truly is. 3) Among the HWs, I'd vote for Chris Byrd and Calvin Brock. Two skilled guys who don't bring much excitement, but both have the potential to be a pain in the ass for a mean slugger. 4) Adrian Diaconu at 175. He might be overhyped on this forum, but elsewhere no one knows anything about him.
You know, Lampley, on second thought, I have to agree with that. He's high risk, but the reward is there. Good point. :good
I agree with the highlighted names... the reason I dont agree with some is that, I think there is a moderate reward for beating certain guys and for others, they're not much of a risk anymore... Allan Green is probably the highest rated American Super Middleweight...
:good :good :good :good perfik no one want to fight him no one and becuase he has no belt thats it he aint gonna be back soon
