    There seems to be a lot of outstanding propenents outthere who never get much of a mention - some ven excite me!

    My list would be:

    Roman Gonzalez - Midget who can bang like one of those shetland pony midget horses.
    Celestino Caballero - He is great man so dangerous and though he wings like the boy who fought Gatti after killing another - Ruelas - he is danger high voltage.
    Steve Molitor - Many whil ago I said he was a hot prosepct and the people they laugh like a Hyundai but now he is good. My favourite Canadian with a scientific name.
    Chris John - He is like a streak of piss but again he is great and actionable fighter who I care for. He also beat JMM 7-5
    Carl Froch - Lets get two things straight. I dont like him but he is good.
    Andreas Kotelnik - He is one of most effective robots ever - Very good Ukraine style.

    I know that some people dont like the midget fights but they can vbe great. Sometimes we used to make a midget fight a dog and we called it dwog fighting and I understand that once you watch this its difficult to go back but I enjoy them except the Mexiacn Arce as he is chad.

    I really like Kotelnik: he lost a razor thin decision to Witter in what was arguably Witter's career best result and his destruction of Gavin Rees was truly impressive- he completely dissected him before KHTFO

    Froch is a very good prospect, but his comp so far has been trash, so it's difficult to know what sort of level he is at. He can certainly bang, though if he gets his wish and fights Calzaghe, he'd lose and handily IMHO.

    Good list :bears:

    Caballero is only winning fights because he is tall.

    most of those guys listed would be good at washing dishes or as a bus boy..

    maybe even they could wash cars.. like be the guys at the end of the car wash that dry the car with rags.. and vacuum inside...

    I dont know if I'd trust Molitor doing my windows.. that guy should only be allowed to dry Hyundais

    I have no idea. All I know is that all tall fighters only win fights because they're tall.

    I think Lucian Bute is a bit under-appreciated. He tends to get glossed over when people talk(ed) about 168 after Calzaghe moved up. It's not a deep division, but it's not just Kessler remaining there.

    Bute has his chance at earning a spot next to Kessler real soon. Its a good test for a fighter who if he's as good as some think, he should pass with flying colors. Its also the perfect comparison for that man, Mikkel Kessler.

    Both Klitschko's are underappreciated/resented by Americans,.. but they both regularly dominate and knock thier opponents the fuck out,..where Hopkins by comparison sears your eyes and your ears 96% of the time, but he's worshipped for it, like the almighty ruler of the universe.
