HUNTING FOR GLORY

I believe that ANY fighter who wanted glory badly enough can almost ALWAYS find a way to make a fight. Go to the other guy's hometown, take short money etc. Here are five young fighters who I think have the physical potential to be great. And in five fights each here's how I think they prove it. I think if any of these guys go 3-2 or better in these five fights their reputations are enhanced. Win four and you really are heading in the right direction. Win all five and Holy Crap!

DAVID HAYE-No waiting for an assist from Father Time 12, gotta move NOW!

-Vitali Klitschko in Germany in February.
-Tomasz Adamek in June
-Wladimir Klitschko in October in Germany if necessary
-By then Alexander Povetkin should be ready
-A rematch with a Klitschko.

Chad Dawson-Yeah he was dismal. But it really is only one fight. He's only 29.

-BHOP-ya might be able to make this fight now.
-Jean Pascal rematch in Montreal
Tavoris Cloud
Zolt Eerdai in Germany
-The 168 who wins the tournament at a catchweight if necessary.

Nonito Donaire-Get busy young man! Time's a wastin'!

Omar Narvaez in Argentina
Hugo Cazares in Mexico
Fernando Montiel at either 115 or 118
Anselmo Moreno at 118
Vic Darchyinian again (if he keeps on winning).

Yoriorkis Gamboa-He's doing it right, but he's also 28 already. This is pretty straightforward.

Orlando Salido (scheduled)
Winner of Rafael Marquez and Juan Manuel Lopez (the next logical fight)
Chris John in Indonesia if necessary
Celestino Caballero at the lightest weight Gamboa can make.
If JML lost above and has then done OK, Juan Manuel Lopez. If not Elio Rojas or Mikey Garcia whomever is ranked higher.

Tim Bradley-Another guy who is doing it right so far.

If you can get Manny on any basis at all, take it.
Amir Kahn in London if necessary.
Devon Alexander anytime, anyplace.
Floyd Mayweather on any basis at all.
Marco Maidana in Argentina if necessary.

Want to build a reputation? Want to build an audience? We'd be kneeling in the presence of any of these guys who did this.

Pushing yourself to be all that you can be in Marble's army.

The one on the list that is most likely to swing for the stars is Bradley.

I'd give anything for fighters to try to face the best possible competition.

Nothing not to like about Tim Bradley.

Joe Frazier
Oscar Bonavena a tough ass SOB who damn near beat Ali

Jimmy Ellis winner of the Alis titles Joe demolishes him
Ali , Joe kicks his ass and proves who is the man
Foreman so he lsot who cares he still fought him when he was flat out told, dont fight this man.

Miguel Cotto hunted for glory.

ABSOLUTELY! An exemplary career.

I want to add one

Tavoris Cloud

Beat Chad Dawson
Go after Pascal
Then get by Bute or the super six winner

That would make him a big time star

I really think he has a good chance of doing it. He has already taken step 1 by beating Glen. Now off to "Soft" Chad Dawson.

Pacquioa when he went after MAB, Morales, Marquez

Murad Muhammad did one thing right! lol

Vic Darchynian at 115 and now at 118
