I think the best fighter to come out The Contender would probably be Peter Manfredo, which isn't saying much. I would say Sakio Bika, but he is already an established top 10 super middleweight.
I gotta go with Gomez too. He was/is an average boxer with alot of heart. The Contender is allowing him to make the kind of money he likely would never have made without the show.
Gomez and Mora......
Gilbert is doing alright too...even though i dont think much of him, he's ranked like 4 in WBO and if Jermain wins vs Pavlik, he may get the shot at the vacant title....
Well you can not count guys like Forbes, Manfredo ect because they were established before the show, Steve was a former world champion and Manfredo held a minor title.
Soloiman and Bika from this season do not count either bothe have either been in the top 10 or fought for a title. You have to base it on unknows and if doing that it looks as though currently Gomez is the front runner.
I just wish Mora will fight a REAL MW and get smoked out already. His attitude sucks and is annoying
