3 to stay - 3 to go

[TBear]

Name three champions that will no longer be champion by the end of 2011

and name three that will remain champion thru 2012


why did you pick them(optional)?

[TBear]

Three I don't think will have titles by 2011
Chris John
Inactivity and age will catch up to him

Devon Alexander
He is a good fighter but even if he gets past Bradley after that he is expected to rise to welterweight and will not be a titlest by years end.

Fernando Montiel
He will face two opponents this year, Age and Nonito Donaire.


Three I think will have titles come 2011

Manny Pacquiao
Unless he retires he will continue to dominate

Juan Manuel Lopez
Will dominate and a unification is unlikely

Andre Berto
His number 1 contender Floyd Mayweather is facing probable jail time and the rest of WBC contenders will leave Berto no worthy challenges.

Just guesses I know but it might be interesting to look back.

To Stay:
Lucian Bute: There's still no live body for him to fight in his division. He'll have to settle for underwhelming defenses up till the Super Six ends

Tarvoris Cloud: Dawson, Hopkins, and Pascal are all caught up in a vicious circle. Shumenov will likely defend against someone else, until they can force Braehmer in the ring again. He'll be facing easy competition this year.

Felix Sturm: Only fought once in 2010, to a rugged, but underwhelming opponent in Lorenzo. Has Ronald Hearns lined up in February. I doubt he'll face anyone else important later on.

To Go:
Steve Cunningham: Age and inactivity may be finally catching up to him. Probably shouldn't be champion right now. Huck (though he lost the first time), Lebedev, Ross, and even Kayode will ask serious questions of him if a fight is made.

Humberto Soto: He's got two huge fights that are made/should be made this year. First a rematch with Antillion, then perhaps against Rios. Will Soto even make it to Rios? , and if he does will he be too battle torn to go up against a huge pressure fighter like Rios?

Jean Pascal: He's been unimpressive in two fights, one where his opponent(Dawson) was even more unimpressive. There's no way he goes through Dawson and Hopkins all while retaining. It's too tough for a limited, one dimensional, and often fatigued fighter for him. He'll be this years Arthur Abraham.
