Re: Biggest Waste Of Talent Ever
Imo vargas wasnt wasted talent he was just rushed in against greater opposition too soon, although he had the skill and was mature in the ring, he wasnt mature enough to deal with a loss or experienced enough for all the probs that Tito gave him and left him with afterwards

Sanchez = auto accident = waste? Huh? Let's distuinguish between self-indudecd waste and waste that could not be helped.
Im not saying it could be helped.. im saying he was wasted talent because he died very young which was very sad and he could of achieved much much more that is wasted talent because you never got to see his full potential.
Got it. I'd add Tyson
Re: Biggest Waste Of Talent Ever
Tyson wasn't a waste of talent. He was one of those bright stars that burn out early.

In alot of ways he was
The time in jail,the hand picked fighters,while Morrison,and Witherspoon were out there.Not listening to trainers,who should have changed his style of fighting after he got out,and no longer had the speed to close without taking shots on his way in

He went from a quick ko of the Black Rhino to getting beat by a hulk named McCbride who in turn got iced by Louis Mononco who had a terrible record who in turn was sent to dreamland by none other than Butterbean. Uh huh. If that isn't a waste, I don't know what waste is. Tyso was a big "what if."

Re: Biggest Waste Of Talent Ever
floyd jr if he retires after DLH fight. A guy with that much talent and skill would definitely be the biggest waste of talent ever if he doesn't stick around to prove his worth.
Re: Biggest Waste Of Talent Ever
yo theres so many yo but id even put ANDREW GOLOTA higher than your riddick bowe, cuz atleast bowe copped a belt and had his timeless wars with real deal, Golota on the other hand had it all man(skills, power, heart, and yes LOOKS!) he would of been the grandpa to set the trend for the klitschkos etc to come later. plus him being from my hometown of CHI-TOWN damn man he could of really represented.
on top of all that we all know he was beating the S out of Bowe until he wanted to play with his balls!!!!!!!

How does a guy (Salvador Sanchez) who kills himself in a car crash make his way onto your list? Can not believe you left out Razor Ruddick and Tony Ayala.
Because i can't remember every single boxer there is .... and read what i said on pages 1 and 2 im not repeating it again i've already said twice why i have Sanchez there but people don't bother to read it so i can't be bothered to type it 3rd time.
dude relax ..... you need a time out or a standing 8 count. Who reads all of anything ? Do most people read an entire newspaper or the complete contents of a websites?

NAW IM TALKING UP TO THE RIDDICK BOWE FIGHTS BRO!
AFTER THE RIDDICK BOWE TESTICAL DAYS IS WHEN HE FOUGHT TYSON.
Re: Biggest Waste Of Talent Ever
Riddick bowe numero uno what a waste it says something when your own trainer walks away and says its disgusting his skills are eroding do to laziness
tyson never filled his potentia; he flushed the second part of his career down the toilet, not much character there
ibeaubuchi looked like a good fighter what a shame
zab judah??? I think he is ordinary at best.
vargas, he did the best he could couldnt beat the elite and simply talked to much trash and never backed it up
ray mercer could have did more than he did had he applie dhimself more
pernell whitaker great yes but could have been greater stay off the drugs
