RAISING IN 1999
Holyfield-Lewis-Tyson
Michael Moorer, Henry Akinwande, Hashim Rahman, David Tua, Chris
Byrd, Andrew Golota, Michael Grant, Herbie Hide or Kirk Johnson in
the second layer will be the names who have opportunity to be a new
king, or at least to compete them in the heavyweight jungle. The old
cracks Foreman and Holmes who will fight next February seemingly will
not have good opportunity to participate in the competition.
de la Hoya-Quartey-Trinidad
Besides them, Frankie Randall and Oba Carr who will fight each other
in de la Hoya’s undecard are the names who will challenge the
undisputed three welterweight kings.
Vargas-Reid-Mayweather
Vargas is currently IBF Jr. Middleweight champion, and Mayweather is
WBC Super Featherweight Champion, while David Reid is a little bit
too late in his pro career as he had to have the eye surgery.
Others
Shane Mosley (IBF Lightweight), Cesar Bazan (WBC Lightweight), Erik
Morales (WBC Super Bantamweight) and Roy Jones Jr. (WBA/WBC Light
Heavyweight) have good opportunity to raise in this year, besides
some other names.

Fighters predicted to raise in 1999
Everybody knows these three musketeers are the kings of heavyweight.
Holyfield with his WBA/IBF crowns will fight Lewis, the king of IBF
to find who’s better between them next March. Tyson, the king without
the crown, is crawling the ring to get his missing crowns. After his
success to defeat Frans Botha, January, Tyson is projected to fight
some more opponents to adjust his fighting touches before he fights
the winner of Holyfield-Lewis.
de la Hoya vs Quartey will be performed in Las Vegas, February 13.
This will be de la Hoya’s step to prove that he’s capable to be the
undisputed Welter King. Felix Trinidad (IBF) has been waiting to
fight the winner of the fight.
They are the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games alumni. They are young and
have good talent to be kings in their divisions. David Reid, gold
medalist, Mayweather, featherweight bronze medalist, and Vargas, no
medal, are ready to compete in world pro jungle.
The sensational WBO Featherweight Champion, Prince Naseem Hamed is
trying hard to have big supports in the US. His debut in Las Vegas
was successfully done by defeating Wayne McCullough. His competitor,
Louisitto Espinosa, also performed very well last year.
