    Giovanni Segura (even though he's starting to get a little press thanks to beating Calderon)

    Maybe Tavoris Cloud

    Chris John though he's lost a lot of momentum from his great win over Daud Yordan earlier this year.

    Maybe Robert Guerrero to a certain extent.

    Direll, I think he is the most skilled at 168, maybe even more than ward, but because he lacks mental strength most people have given up on him and he is being viewed as some guy that cant get be the top guy while he clearly has the potential to beat them all if he gets his act together.
    Also pirog after his performance in february or something where he didnt look good, now you dont hear anyone about the guy eventhough he has a fight coming up in 2 weeks, at 160 also golovkin.
    At 147 I think mike jones' potential is underrated because of the first fight with soto karass, as is kell brook's. He is pretty good as well.

    Pirog's a guy I was REALLY impressed with, c-b. Don't know the behind-the-scenes machinations that keep him off center-stage, but he's a dangerous fighter.

    Austin Trout. I've only seen bits and peices of him, he looks decent but somewhat untested. Considering that he shares the WBA light middleweight championship with Miguel Cotto, and that there are some pretty solid guys at 154 right now you'd think he'd get more press.

    From what I have seen I like Peter Quillin. He hasn't really been tested but when the smoke clears from the super 6 and Bute he should be right in the mix.

    Same here. Thought he looked sweet the first -- 'n only time -- I saw him.

    How does sillakh count though? most see him as an upcoming prospect witha bright future. After he beats henry he will most likely go for a belt next year I hope.

    Mike Alvarado. He's been out of prison for a bit and it's time he gets an HBO or Showtime date.
