    Clottey is the obvious answer.

    He will beat the **** out of anyone in WW except perhaps Shane and PW. At the same time, he just won't get anyone the noteriety outside of the immediate boxing followers....

    Give your head a shake pal!

    Anyone who beats Kessler right now will be sitting pretty. $$

    He would become the man to beat for the likes of Taylor, Bute, Froch, and maybe even Hopkins or Abraham.... Hell, that might even lure Calzaghe back in!

    Low Reward? Think again.

    I see what people are saying about Clottey.

    He's one of the toughest "no-name" guys out there... BUT, If you beat him you got one of the belts... and that makes you a player in the division with the big money boys.

    So, he's only really low reward for the other title holders...

    Low reward means if you beat the guy... nobody gives a ****!

    No big fights, no big money, no nothing!

    Like the man said... Emmanuel Augustus fit the bill.

    A few who come to mind, guys with the worse ratios up top:

    Travis Simms
    Ricardo Cordoba
    Ali Funeka
    Junior Witter
    Kali Meehan
    Agnes Adjaho
    Chris John
    Guillermo Jones
    Sakio Bika
    Yuri Foreman
    Luis Collazo
    Joan Guzman

    Josh Clottey and Mikkel Kessler aren't really high risk low reward; they're high risk, medium reward, with an inflated self-sense of their financial worth.

    True but Supermiddleweight hasn't ever been much of an American dominated division, so a win like that may go over the heads of casual American boxing fans.
