    I need help trying to decide who will replace him on my top spot I am going to give a name and description why I am considering them

    Pavlik- I believe a future ATG Explosive and fun to watch also he beat jermaine taylor twice.

    Miranda- Cocky as **** and breaks germans jaws cannot ask for more tho pavlik whoop that ass.

    Steve "USS" Cunningham- Crusierweight champ and from PHILLY BIG + but the drawback is he is not on either of the network and i do not watch internet streams must have a bad promoter

    "Fast" Eddie Chambers- Future Heavyweight Champ and calls Philly home. He is defientley a top canidate for the job.

    Anthony Peterson- Is a beast and the future king of the LW division.

    Andre Ward- Olympic Gold Medalist and is working his way up to the top on a quick pace

    Tavirous Cloud- Will be the man to take out Bad Chad and we get some of Tarver also.

    Paul Williams- I dont care that he lost a dumb fight to Quintana but he will win the rematch and is hella promising will probably move to 154 and clean up soon

    Yurokis Gamboa- Is real fun to watch and we all know he will be great

    Charlie Zelenoff- Enough Said

    I agree 100%. He might say he is retiring but he will come back to fight one more this year. I could def see the Jones fight with Cal not working out- or even if it does and RJ loses, I still see RJJ as a future opponent for Bhop. Its a winnable fight, one where he can avenge a loss earlier in his career, make a decent last payday and then (hopefully) walk off in the sunset.

    AWESOME avatar also.

    Defo not Williams anyway, what an overrated fighter, you know why Quintana beat him, because he tried to pump his jab, and his jab is awful, too innacurate and not stiff enough for the way he tries to use it. That means Quintana slips it all-day and roughs him up with counter-hooks and overhands.

    His jab was gettin' blocked so often by Marg, who doesnt realy have a defense.

    Williams is so overrated, you will see that you made a bad pick there

    yea but at 43 he is only out staying his welcome, I don't want to see him with a bunch of losses from staying to long. He won this fight on my card calzaghe's ***** slaps get way to much credit its like he tries to touch you more to win on points instead of hurt you.

    Good riddens B-Hop. You haven't had an exciting fight in about 5 years now. Through guile, experience and rough tactics, you have remained competitive in fights, but are thoroughly unwatchable.

    I won't miss him one bit.

    tkudgis614, on the guys you have mentioned, I'm partial to Pavlik, A Peterson, Williams and Gamboa. (Zelenoff just misses the cut) I think they are all the goods. I'd throw Juan Diaz in there too.

    I think Eddie Chambers will end up being the 2nd coming of Dominic Guinn.
