Shane Mosely Miguel Cotto Antonio Margarito Kelly Pavlik Andre Dirrell Mikkel Kessler Arthur Abraham Feel free to add to the list and/or discuss each guys chances of having a good year.
Far from retirement, but need to have a big 2011: Chad Dawson Paul Williams Devon Alexander Ivan Calderon Celestino Caballero
I may be wrong, but I expect to see a good comeback from Dawson. Williams just needs to learn that defense matters, and stay the hell away from 160.
Judah. he needs to beat mabuza if he wants to be relevant at 140. If he beats Mabhauza, and that is a big if, then he should go on to fight Kotelnik or he may even get offered a fight from the big boys. i would just stay away from Ortiz and Maidana if I were him. I don't think he can handle their power. Nobody else in the division hits that hard sadly.
Obviously he wont need to retire if he doesnt have a big year, but Pirog definetly needs a big fight to get himself out of obscurity. if he dosent he could end up being like Zsolt Erdei, with a lot of potential but never able to fulfill it
andre dirrell???? he's still very young..... id go for: cotto mallignaggi froch marquez manny floyed hopkins cotto margerito pavlik katsidis
Calderon isn't/shouldn't be all that far from retirement. There were signs of worn-out tread on the tires long before Segura knocked him out. His style is a youthful one, and age has taken his legs away. The same thing happened to Spinks, and he stuck around long enough to lose to and struggle with guys who had no business in the ring with him.
Dirrell is 27 years old, and reportedly has neurological problems. His biggest win came via DQ. He still has a lot to prove, and a relatively short time to do it.
After the past couple of years Froch has had he'd be entitled to an easy year, not that he'll take one of course :bbb I hope Cotto and Paulie have a good year, and Manny and Floyd need to sort their **** out. If they fight anyone but each other it's a waste of time at this point. I'm surprised no-one's mentioned Haye tbh. Whether you like him or not, this year is **** or bust for him and boxing would be better off if he fights a Klit.
