    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.

    I like the Tavoris Cloud pick, one more win and he's fighting Tarver

    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.

    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

    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
