    Rematch with Soliman (3rd fight),

    to avoid Kessler.

    The sad thing is he has a good chance if he was to fight him. The same with Bute, Froch, Winky, Taylor. He has good hand speed and a top defence. He has power.

    Yet we will never know because he has no heart. A sad thing for Australia.

    Erm.

    Mundine already fought Kessler. He lost, but it was a good fight.

        How people can say James Toney's a wasted talent is beyond me. The guy's a throwback fighter and was a 'poster boy' as an active World Champion. You'd have to go back 50 years to see another fighter with a record like James'. Chavez is another who comes to mind.

        He's always fought the very best and never knocked back anyone. Toney's a former middleweight who's now campaigning as a Heavyweight gives an indication the guy has Brass 'Koyones'!

        The guy will enter Boxing's Hall of Fame with more fanfare than Roy Jones who only fought at Heavy once against one of the weakest WBA Heavy Champ.

          I think Ike Ibeabuchi has to top the list.

            First on my list would be Corrie Sanders. The guy had everything. Rockin' power, fast hands, size, ability, talent, heart, skill, smarts, agressiveness, chin....everything except drive and ambition. He never took boxing seriously enough to truly shine. His fight against Wlad was one of his shining moments, but for the most part, he never bothered to really train. He just showed up however he happened to be and fought. If he'd been able to go 12 rounds instead of a max of 7, the guy would've been my pick over Lewis, or just about any other heavyweight I can think of during his time.

                    Yeah... I saw the entire career of the guy who went 1-1 with Oscar Delahoya.

                    And beat...Um, who again?
