I think that most people who saw Remy win the 2003 and 2004 tournaments would agree with me that at the time he looked like the next big thing for the following years. The man had it all: KO's, nice kicks, good combo's, an athletic style and he didnt fight for decisions, he went in for the KO.
Now the last few years (2005-2007) Remy saw his personal life change a bit: marriage shot to hell, didnt get to see his kid for some time, a break up with his longtime trainer, the search for a new gym/trainer and the loss of his mom. I dont find it surprising that he didnt perform well during the last two years (he won most of his fights but not in the way you knew him to).
Now, in 2008, I think Remy is allmost back. He's done some soulsearching, he looks focused (fights against Hari, Aerts and Manhoef) and the knees are back! If he can keep up with the good work I see him as a finalist in Tokio for the next 2-5 years.
