Maybe Yuriorkis Gamboa? The kid has some talent and he's powerful, but his chin keeps getting more suspect as his opponent's class gets higher. Not a good thing in the waters where Juan Manuel Lopez, Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez lurk.
Ortiz looks like the real deal, although I've heard bad things about his chin. Lucky for him, 140 is not a very good division, so he might be able to survive it even with a suspect chin.
Berto is the most undeserving fighter of the praise he gets in the entire sport, except for maybe Yuriorkis Gamboa. If Gamboa's chin is solid though, he actually might be okay, because like Trinidad, even if he gets knocked down, it doesn't matter if he ends up KO'ing you before the final bell.
James Kirkland certainly deserves a shout in this thread.
I don't have super high hopes for Tarvaris Cloud either. He punches really ****ing hard, but... like most super hard punches, he has excted fans, but it is going to be likely that he gets outclassed by a technically solid boxer once he gets in the ring with them.

that might be a good thing. because some fighters tend to get KD and still get up and KTFO their opponents (i.e. tito trinidad). and with gamboa's vulnerability he's pretty damn exciting to watch. and that's what i love you never know what to expect next thing he's doen on the canvass and next thing you know he KTFO his opponent.
very exciting, but a few more KO's and he'll be billed as the light-middleweight Tyson - then be comprehensively outboxed and outclassed by some fringe contender nobody has ever heard off.
