And you can pick 1 boxer for your stable from every weight class. One stipulation: They CAN'T be a current title-holder, and must be active (or soon active) in that weight class. Mine: HW: David Haye - Great charisma and very promising talent. Already a huge star in the UK. CW: Darnell Wilson - Sure he probably won't challenge for a world title again, but he is a very entertaining, crowd-pleasing fighter who would be great to fill out some undercards. LHW: Tavoris Cloud - Relatively unknown fighter, but he is undefeated with KO's in 17 of his 18 victories, and is ready for a step up in class after winning several continental belts. SMW: Edison Miranda - Hits very hard, and has been spectacular against everyone other than two current MW belt holders. MW: John Duddy - No, his last performance was not up to par, but he still has the potential to draw a nice Irish following at home and at venues on the east coast. JMW: James Kirkland - Youngster is almost ready for a title shot. Looked fantastic in HBO feature. WW: Andre Berto - Sure, he might be overrated and still unprepared for the elite of this division, but at least he hasn't lost to any of them yet which the other non-titleholders in the division can't claim. LWW: Demetrius Hopkins - Undefeated with a win over Steve Forbes. Next up, Floyd Mayweather? LW: Anthony Peterson - His story as a homeless teenager on the streets of DC is sure to be talked about once he fights his way to a title shot...which will happen within 2 years. Below LW: Yuri Gamboa - Almost guaranteed to be a star. Might even want to dim the hype a little bit to help his career.
Light Heavyweight: Clinton Woods Super Middleweight: Edison Miranda Middleweight: John Duddy Welterweight: Joshua Clottey Jr. Welterweight: Kendall Holt Lightweight: Juan Diaz
HW - Haye - a no-brainer, since he's good and a marketer's dream CW - Alexander Alexeev - Should be near the top of the division for a long time, and a bit easier to market than guys like Flores and Kraj. Adamek would be the runner up, but he's getting up there in years. LHW - Adrian Diaconu - Is already a draw in two places SMW - Edison Miranda - Big puncher and talker who will always be able to get air time MW - Gennady Golovkin - Would be a project, but one of the best prospects out there. With better promotion, could become one of those unheralded stars (i.e. a Casamayor type). Get him airtime and let his gloves do the talking. LMW - James Kirkland - See Miranda WW - Berto; another marketer's dreak JWW - Lamont Peterson - Good back story, and one of the few guys currently in the weight class with a lot of potential. LW - Amir Khan - Anyone who says otherwise is being a hater; whether or not he ends up living up to the hype, he's a cash cow right now. SFW - Yuriorkis Gamboa - Should be a natural superstar, and even if he isn't, his exciting style means he'll always be able to get airtime. FW - Billy Dib - not as good as Khan and Gamboa, but another exciting fighter with a flamboyant personality who shouldn't have many problems getting air time. SBW - Rafael Marquez - Just tghe easiest guy to get into a big-ish fight BW - Silence Mabuza - Get him a real promoter and he could be a unified beltholder in this weak division. SFL - Jorge Arce - big name, will always get his in Mexico due to popularity there. FL - Koki Kameda - Huge name in Japan, and probably the biggest money fighter in the smallest weight classes, period. Not a fan of him personally, and would require a lot of coddling to handle, but for the kind of money he draws, I think I'd deal with it. LFL / Straw - Eagle Kyowa - Exciting style and is a name in Japan.
Hw.i Guess Haye But Im Not Really Sold On Him As A Hw I Will Have To See.....i Would Still Go With My Hometown Boy Jason Estrada People Like To Hate On Jay But He Can Make It In The Hw Div Even W/o All The Ko's People Look For Is Record Speaks For Itself Cw.matt Godfrey Again Another Hometown Fighter With Alot Of Skill...great Fighter Good Power Very Smooth Lhw.glen Johnson Tough Fighter Very Fun To Watch Smw.

HW - Alexander Povetkin CW - Tomas Ademek LHW - Roy Jones SMW - Andre Dirrell MW - John Duddy SWW - Alex Bunema WW - Luis Collazo LWW - Herman N'godu LW - Juan Diaz SFW - Rocky Juarez FW - Orlando Salido SBW - Rey Bautista BW - Silence Mabuza SFW - Z-Gorrez FW - Wonjongkam
Heavyweight: Odlanier Solis - Keep his ass in shape and you're doing good. I'd normally pick David Tua..but longevity is a problem even if he's kept in shape. Thinking about future profits I have to go with Solis. I think Haye is going to get cracked and there would be nothing I could do about it other than handpicking his way to Klitschko. Cruiserweight: Alexander Alexeev Light Heavyweight: Adrian Diacanu Super Middleweight: Jean Pascal (I'm assuming by title holder you mean major such as: IBF-WBA-WBC-WBO..not NABF and crap like that. If you mean no titles at all I'd go with Allan Green Middleweight: Erislandy Lara Light Middleweight: Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Welterweight: Shane Mosley - Cash in while he's still active. Light Welterweight: Herman Ngoudjo - I think he can be a solid competitor in this division. Good to work with. Lightweight: Amir Khan Super Featherweight: Yuriorkis Gamboa Featherweight: Yonnhy Perez Super Bantamweight: Jhonny Gonzalez Bantamweight: Silence Mabuza Super Flyweight: AJ Banal Flyweight: Koki Kameda Light Flyweight: Roman Gonzales Minimumweight: Eagle Kyowa

ok HW - David Haye He's young, exciting and outspoken i think with the current crop of heavyweights he can be successful and with his success comes a high reward. CW - O'Neil Bell Got the potential to rule the division just needs to sort his head out. LHW - Joe Calzaghe Every stable needs a big name plus the end of his career is going to be worth a fortune. SMW - Mikkel Kessler He could dominate once Calzaghe leaves the division for good. MW - Winky Wright Just because i like Winky LMW - Oscar De La Hoya The guy makes super money in a fight, i'd have a bit of that WW - Shane Mosley I'd get him to make one final move to LMW and take over. LWW - Victor Ortiz Rising star, could be around for a while LW - Amir Kahn As above, gonna be around a while SF Yuriourkis Gamboa Possible superstar, talent in abundence
