Who sprang up in 2013 as the scariest or soon to be most avoided fighters? Also, who was knocked down a few notches after either losing a fight or having a harder time than we ight have expected?


Here are my choices for the new beasts that were born:

  • Sergey Kovalev
  • Adonis Stevenson
  • GGG
  • Mikey Garcia (Not necessarily making everyone run the other way but I don't see anyone stopping him anytime soon)

Here are who I think got knocked down a few notches:

  • Lucas Mattheysee
  • Adrian Broner (Not that he was seen as a beast before but he was rated a lot higher, I don't think the Maidana loss knocked him down it was actually the Malignaggi win that exposed him a bit)
  • Abner Mares - I was very surprised by the loss he took as I felt he was heading towards pound for pound ranking status.

Who do you think are the new dragons and who lost some of their invincibility factor?
