The Candidates:
Mickey Bey:
Got caught with a 30:1 Testosterone Ratio and then got KTFO with all of TMT sitting ringside.
Nonito Donaire:
Talked all last year about how Rigo wasn't "worthy to fight him" then gets schooled in an uneventful 1 sided fight. Then goes on after the fight making a bunch of lame excuses. Now is fighting on an undercard against Darchinyan, who he already KO'd at 126.
Chad Dawson
Went from lineal champ at 175 to getting slept in the first round
David Price
KO'd twice by a 41 year old man within a few months apart
Gary Russell Jr.
Turned down a fight with Ponce De Leon and instead continued his streak of fighting TBA's.

Russel Jr ...
I did find it soothing to see Bey get KTFO in front of his own group after getting virtually no punishment despite having steroids in his system.
Chavez Jr.
It is a bit of a carry over from 2012, but gets busted for weed after the Martinez fight, fined $100,000 (reduced from 900k) suspended for 9 months. Then in his return, he comes in on fight night at 186 fucking pounds, for a bout that was originally slated at 160, and proceeds to get outworked by Brian Vera.
Clown sauce.
Chavez Jr. The undisputed NFOTY of 2013.
:rofl: when you put it that way
Gamboa, Dibb, Kirkland,Direll, **** pretty much anybody on SMS promotions can be put on that list
SMS is a graveyard. Damn shame what happened to Gamboa
No way Donaire should be on this list, getting beaten by Rigondeaux is far from a disgrace.
I'll go for Gary Russell Jr because I don't understand what him and his team are waiting on, does he just want to fight mediocrity forever?

I'm so tempted to say Donaire. Losing to Rigondeaux is one thing, you know, so what? Rigondeaux's a hell of a fighter. But to have your only other fight in the year be a pointless rematch with Vic Darchinyan? That's messed up.
To be fair (obviously he's older now and would of made more sense a long time ago) Vic had a close fight with Mares since losing to Donaire and outclassed that Puerto Rican prospect in his last fight.
He's coming off a loss, personally I don't think this is a bad "tune up" fight.
With that said I called the upset and I think Vic will beat Donaire this time around. Book it. I'll take a bet if anyone's interested.

Toss up between any of these, aside from Donaire.
No shame in losing to Rigo.
Probably not Dawson, IMO, I wasn't as surprised that he got iced. I think the Ward fight killed him. David Price... meh, Thompson might be 41 but he's a top 5-10 HW, IMO. (unaware on Bey and the testosterone thing?)
I'm going to have to go with GRJ based on wasted potential and fighting Macy's stockroom associates.
Gar russell jr is simply a waste. he fights no one and takes months to decide to fight no one. why anyone would take him seriously going forward is beyond me.
