Re: fighters that you thought would do greats things but never quite made it
Who was that U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist that won alongside SRL (I think anyways)? Shortly after turning pro, he turned vegitarian and he was no longer in fighting shape. I think it was Leo Randolph but I can't be sure. Either way, he was a tremendous fighter who never did anything because he just wasn't in the shape to do it.

Ive heard so much about him i don't know whats true or myth or what day it is .

No No..its obvious that you no way more about boxing...It was wrong of me to disagree about Andre Ward...especially since its hard to predict that he will become a dud given that fact that he has only a few fights and hasnt lost a fight in 10yrs...but I admit that you are right.

That is ridiculous. He looked shaky his first 5 or 6 fights but he is looking great right now. He injured his thumb but in that time he has improved a ton. I've seen every fight in his boxing career so far and I've no doubt he will be a champ one day. Honestly, he's got a dynamite jab, he's fast as hell, got a great defense and works in combinations. His main fault right now is that he gets to cocky and tries to become Roy Jones Jr. But unfulfilled potential? No way.

Howard Davis and Bernard Taylor
Re: fighters that you thought would do greats things but never quite made it
I have one. Larry Mosley. One of the best amateurs from the 90's. Solid fighter who going into the Figueroa fight was as hot as any prospect there was. The Figueroa fight was a real step up and would have led to bigger and better things for him but it kind of fell apart that fight. An excellent outside fighter who for some reason abandoned the jab in that fight and while it made for one hell of a bout it cost him. And against Johnson he fought on the backfoot the entire time and really had no answer for Johnson's aggressiveness. Only 27 and he did score draws in both those fights but he might have stepped up too fast because he looked like he had no confidence against Johnson. Hopefully he can turn it around but I'm doubtful :-\

I think Paz went as far as his lack of defense and hot temper could take him. All things considering I think he did pretty damn good.
