    Had he actually taken training seriously and stayed in shape, could he have achieved more in his career, or had he already reached his ceiling? Also, does an in shape young Nobles have any success if he were to have fought in today's era?

    Nobles was nothing special. Fought the usual cannon fodder and had no legitimate wins over elite competition. Didn't have the dedication to stay in proper shape. Honestly, I can't believe there is a thread about him. He is of amost no historical significance.

    I think he was doing well (very agressive and winning some rounds) against Valuev, but he was robbed like others.
    He could be a top 10, top 15 today

    Agreed. I think he could have done ok for himself in today's heavyweight landscape.
