Whats Going On With..(Inactivity from My Watch List)

I got a lot of guys on my Boxrec Watch List & its hard to keep up with the inactive guys sometimes, but every six months or so I go down my Watch List & look at everyone & am often left wondering wtf happened with this guy or that guy. If you know whats up with a guy please fill in my blank & feel free to add your own if you're wondering wtf happened with a inactive guy.

Raeese Aleem http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_ ... &cat=boxer
Talented cat I seen take down a Michigan GG title the last year I lived in Michigan. 4-0 (2) as a pro in his first year in the sport. Hasn't fought in two years?!?! Only 24 so plenty of time to grow still. Part of his problem might be he's a lil guy (featherweight) in the midwest which is probably like being a heavyweight in China as far as finding fights go, but two years seems a bit much.

Javonn "Pinky" Barnes http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_ ... &cat=boxer
Another Michigan GG alum. Guy has this whole Pink/Pink Panther angle thing going that could garner him a gimmicky/cult following, but made his pro debut over a year & a half ago & hasn't fought since. He's an older guy, 31, so could have just decided he had better options elsewhere.

Domonique Dolton http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_ ... &cat=boxer
I believe Dolton is one of the last Kronk guys from the Manny Steward days. Promising prospect, 14-0 (8), but hasn't fought in over a year.

Kevin Ferguson aka Kimbo Slice http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_ ... &cat=boxer
Kimbo had a nice lil 7-0 (6) run in his first year & a half in the sport. Hasn't fought in over a year & a half as of right now. I thought for sure this was gonna be some cash grab for Kimbo at some point for him, but thats a long ass layoff for a 40 year old.

Deandre Latimore http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_ ... &cat=boxer
Last seen getting ktfo by Carlos Quintana on the Floyd vs Miguel PPV undercard. Has been MIA in the 2 years since. He was overhyped by Mayweather Promotions, but seems like a guy capable of competing with many if not most of the top 11-20 type guys.

Hadn't heard about it, but I don't really pay close attention to Bellator news either. Back to MMA might be a better move than boxing for Kimbo. Boxing makes you fight for 3-4 years before they give you a meaningful/nice payday fight for most guys, MMA will throw you on a PPV tomorrow.

Dennis might have some info on Raeese Aleem. According to this article, they were both working with a prospect named Roberto Hernandez in May.

Oh yea you know what I seem to remember Dennis saying Raeese was gonna fight on a Jordan card awhile back, but it fell through for one reason or another. I'm sure I asked him about it than, but don't recall the answer.
