What about Lamar Parks?Had some nice skills but everything was cut short after Johnson schooled him and 'health issues' I thought he would be around as champ.

I remember Vazquez. His fight with Valle was on ESPN I think. He got dropped and didn't even try and get up. Just stood on his knees. Never fought again. Thing with Vazquez was he was like 34 years old. I don't think his heart was really into Boxing any more after losing to Polo. I think he taught it was to long a road back at his age.

Exact,He looked too well fed and when pressured he crumbled.I think the princess would have played with him.

Those health issues,turned out to be HIV

Even though he was before my time, Errol Christie would seem to be a shoo-in for this

Not for the reasons given, but, Ike Ibeabuchi. I thought he was going to clean out the Heavyweight division.
