I think Lamont needs to start from scratch after his last fight. He needs to get more solid B-class fighters on his resume before he challenges another A-class guy.

I didn't include any of the guys that just turned pro, only fighters that have gotten a good amount of fights under their belt. I would include Wilder as a heavyweight to your list as well.

I don't know too much about Mike Jones. I've heard his name a couple times but I've never seen him fight.

Well Mike Jones is fighting in a few weeks against Henry Brusles on Fox Sports... If you remember Bruseles is the one who got schooled by Floyd a few years ago... That was the fight when Floyd in the middle of the fight predicted the Patriots to win the Super Bowl...

So you can see Mike Jones there and if Mike Jones win and Joshua Clottey losses against Pac... Then you might see Mike Jones vs Clottey in the summer...

Hopefully later in the fall we get to see Mike Jones vs another top WW prospect in Antwone Smith... Daniel Jacobs won the amateur of the year for 2009. But, IMO that award should of gone to Antwone Smith... He really stepped up in 2009... He beat Richard Gutierrez and another WW undefeated prospect in Henry Crawford... Anyways I would love to see those two fights. IMO the winner of that will be the future of the WW division...

Mayweather-Bruseles was such a funny fight. I'm pretty sure that's the fight that Lampley says "Floyd switches to southpaw for the second time tonight..." and then Floyd corrects as he's boxing and shouts "Third time!"

I'll definitely look out for Mike Jones on Fox Sports. Would be interesting to see him fight an established guy like Clottey.

Dawson, Ward, and Bradley. I don't know if any of them have much controversy or trash talk in them.
