    Nonito Donaire. Rigondeux. Both have good chins and the physical structure to go up a few more weight classes. Rigondeux in particular can go up to 147 or even 154 before he retires. Jose Benavidez could go up to light heavyweight and beyond. He's 5ft11 and has the frame to allow him to grow all the way up to a light heavyweight. He's only 18 or 19 so he isn't finished growing and for sure will go up a few weight classes. Finally you have Chavez Jr who probably should be fighting at cruiserweight.

    You really think Rigo could go that high?

    Lucian Bute could go to LHW and become undisputed in 4 fights. Start with BHOP/Dawson winner. Then Cleverly, Cloud(if he's still holding), then Shumenov last so he could hopefully get at least a few more wins under his belt to make it a fight.:D

    Dawson beats Bute..

    I think Ward can easily go up to Cruiser and be the man there

    Khan is a good prospect. I know he needs more work but if he manages to overcome his weaknesses, I think he can be successful all the way up to jmw.

    That ****ing greaseball isn't even a legit contender in his own weightclass anymore, but I wouldn't mind seeing him move up and get his **** pushed in at LHW. :yep

    Yup Nonito first one that came to mind. He always looked like a natural featherweight to me. Rigo looks at home at 118-122, but with that dude's skill there's no telling how far he can really go because he can. Other than Dawson and Bute I don't see anyone being a threat to Ward upwards of 168. Downwards of 168, however, he shouldn't take Maravilla or Golovkin lightly, but Ward would be favored over all IMO. If Dawson gets his act together and gets focused in time if Adamek could compete at HW possibly so could Dawson, of course, as long as its not against a Klitshcko. Huck had success vs Povetkin and Povetkin is a highly rated HW. If Huck had success I believe so should Dawson.
