    I've got a very strong feeling that Allan Green will end up on this list!

    I think everyone's being too harsh on Lacy... Yes he took a severe beating for 12 long rounds but he took a rest and came back against a decent southpaw Tsykpo. Given that Calzaghe was a southpaw it's maybe the last thing he wanted but he got in there and

    Give Lacy a ****ing break, he still won the fight (albeit in a disputed manner) even with a screwed shoulder for 9 rounds!! That tells me that this guy has got heart, tenacity, a strong will and big kahunas. I certainly don't think Lacy is the most talented of guys but I would definately like to see him back to his best when his shoulder recovers.

    He was humbled by Joe Calzaghe but I do not see one scrap of evidence to suggest that he didn't take this defeat well.

    At this point this probably isn't politically correct but Diego Corrales. Outside of the fact that he cried, he damn near assaulted his father (who threw in the towel on the fight).

    Steve Molitor...

    He faced his first real AAA fighter and froze, performed very poorly, didn't box like he was supposed to. After that crushing loss he never performed as well again; he is far too tentative and his activity is way down.

    Most people don't think much of Steve Molitor, but the guy was a pretty sharp boxer before his loss.
