    Who wasted 2010 the most?

    I do this every year and now that the schedule is pretty much set until 2011, here are the candidates. Vote for the winner.

    Candidate #1:


    In every sense, 2010 was supposed to be Andre Berto's big step up year. Whether he was successful or not, Berto had launched himself to the top of the welterweight division. After scheduling a tough fight with Mosley that was supposed to be a true test, he pulled out. Instead he fights Carlos Quintana and Freddy Hernandez. Also priced himself out in a fight with Mosley.


    #2:


    Last year's winner of this list had a very uneventful year too. Fought Ruiz and is scheduled to fight Harrison. Clearly a joke and I wouldn't be surprised if he won this again.

    #3:


    Had a megafight against Mosley, but it's arguable with his legal troubles and the negotiations falling apart a second time with Pacquiao that Money Mayweather is the winner this year.

    #4:


    Pacquiao certainly didn't take time off in 2010. He fought Joshua Clottey in March, won a congressional seat, and is scheduled to fight Antonio Margarito. However, boxing fans are disappointed that Mayweahter and Pacquiao are not fighting. Pacquiao makes this list also because of Bob Arum's choices to stay in house and fight two top rank fighters in Clottey and Margarito instead of someone else.

          Out of this list, Bradley might have lost the most fans this year. He's fighting Devon Alexander in January, but he played hard ball in negotiations. His only actual opponent was Carlos Abregu on HBO this summer.

          #6:


          Vitali stayed active, but it could be argued that he wasted the year by taking on such **** opponents in Briggs and Sosnowski. Not necessarily his fault, but a candidate still the same.

          #7:


          Alexander Povetkin was in the same position as David Haye, except Povetkin had actually earned his shot by defeating Chambers and Bryd. Instead he sat his ass on the mandatory spot and ended up losing it because he pulled out of a fight with Wlad causing Wlad to fight Sam Peter instead.

          [IMG]http://www.********911.com/files/publisher/Miguel-Cotto-111409L.jpg?0[/IMG]

          Cotto had a big win over Foreman and proved he wasn't as shot as people made him out to be. However, he remains inactive and the fight between JCC Jr. was cancelled. He had an oppurtunity to fight someone else like Cintron, but decided to sit out instead. Thinking about it more, this probably wasn't a good choice to put him on here.

          #9 : Ali Fuenka

          Fuenka got robbed big time against Guzman in canada last year. For the year and the half before that he was catching boxing fans eye with a gutsy showing against Campbell and impressive one against raheem. This year, trying to get the decision against Guzman, failed a steroid test and got himself suspended. It's pretty much safe to say that Fuenka's time in the spotlight is over.

              In a sporting sense it's Haye, because he shunned genuine challenges and all he has to show for 2010 is two meaningless defences (assuming he bests Audley). But the reality is that he's probably made more money in 2010 than in the rest of his career put together.
