    Clottey was ruined? dude just got his big paycheck & bounced!. Probably on some island smoking a fatty. He can make a comeback & be a contender.

    Dawson and berto perhaps, none of the others listed are going to get back to the top. RJ is 45 years old, he isnt going to go to the top of te 200lhb division.

    Made some corrections to your reasoning . . . (some are way off) . . . the only answer is Dawson . . . perhaps Berto, and thats a big perhaps. Lacey never had "IT", Peter was just OK at best

    Sam Peter is young enough and has the attributes to win a title again in a post K2 era.

    I disagree with what ruined several of the fighters mentioned....Ortiz was ruined by making 15mil vs Mayweather.

    Hows he supposed to get up for a fight when he's still sitting on like 5-6 mil in the bank.
