Boom: Jorge Linares, needs to have more fights though, maybe even move back down to featherweight.
Bust: Antonio Margarito, given his hype I thought he would be the next Nigel Benn, (they fight somewhat familiar) but his skills are nowhere near Nigel Benn's. He'll lose to a slick boxer most definitely.
Carl Froch: Overrated as hell, just like Margarito, but sucks even more as a boxer. Good chin though.

Boom: Alex Dimitrenko. This kid is fundamentally sound, has decent power, and is not afraid to 'mix it up' a bit. Provided he gets matched against some good opponents, I think 2009 could be a breakout year for him.
Bust: John Duddy. Duddy was being touted as the next best thing in the mw division about the same time last year. Since then, he took a brutal beating from virtual unknown journeyman Walid Smitchet and hasn't done much since. I think if he steps up the level of competition he'll be KO'd in grand fashion...
