    I honestly think Jeff Lacy is overrated...
    People talk about him like he's a god or something...
    The thing I like about Lacy is that he's VERY active like fellow fighters Castillo and Corrales..

    But the people I see good futures for are:

    -Miguel Cotto
    -Ricky Hatton
    -Andre Ward (He can fight Lacy and Taylor in the future)
    -Vicente Escobedo
    -The Dirrel brothers (doubt they will be great but exciting!)
    -Jeff Lacy
    -Edwin Valero
    -Amir Khan

    These people are all future hall of famers...

          It wont ever be mainstream again because of closed circuit TV. You can also blame closed circuit TV for lack of activity, and shifty matchups. Golden Boy Promotions puts f***Ing every fight they have on closed circuit. And King made Rahman vs Barret a pay-per-view.

              people like the hw's because one punch separates u from glory or being called a bum on every forum on the internet, the next big thing will probably be a hw...the " black rocky " lamon brewster, when he unifies the title

                Lamon Brewster will lose to Krasniqui. He not that good at all. He is just the current flavor of the month. Wlad would kill him if they ever had a rematch.

                  may become more mainstream b4 i get their, but i promise if it isnt i will make history, Heavyweights are overated now, think there is more interests in the lower divisions as they usually r the most talented, instead of just powerfull. Mark these wordz, highlight em, save em post em everywhere. Brian Ogletree will change boxing.

                    If boxing is to become mainstream again, you need a fighter that transcends boxing. Someone that qualifies as a B level celebrity like Tyson was.

                    That man is probably Mayweather. If he can turn himself into a Paris Hilton and just crash parties and get written about in the tabloids, he can get to Tyson level. Think about it, people watched Tyson because he was a character, even upto his last awful fight.

                    Don't forget, for boxing to become "big" again, you need people watching it that are casual fans, people who have no idea who Morales, Barerra, and Judah are, and never will. The general public is a sucker for a celebrity who gets written about in ****ty publications like The Sun or the Post.

                      Tyson was an A level celebrity if there ever was one. Alot people only the names of 2 boxers. Ali and Tyson.
