Ibeabuchi definitely!
Fernando Vargas yes.
Hamed......maybe. To a far lesser degree.

As for MAG and Reid.....I don't think they had much to begin with.

Miguel Angel Gonzales was about 44-and 0 and fought Oscar to a very great fight, Oscar won, but Oscar was bruised as hell, many people thought Miguel beat Oscar, not I, he was being hailed as one of Mexicos future hall of famers, since then he stopped fighting as much and has about 5 losses, Dont remember

David Reid was a olympic Champ being hailed and nicknamed the American Dream,alot of talent, Problem was, he moved up too quick, When he fought Trinidad and got pounded, he was never the same, kind of like Meldrick Taylor vs Cesar Chavez but at a less sadder degree
