IMO it was Michael Grant...they made such a big deal out of him and then Lewis made short work of him and after that the McCline debacle(I just post what boxrec noted about it in Grants record...)"Grant down from first punch of the fight. Referee stops the fight after Grant says his ankle might be broken."...After that it was bye bye...
What do yo people think...?!?
Audley Harrison has to be up there.
chavez jr. as far as current boxers imo. That gamboa kid as well
Bobby Czyz
Fransisco Bojado
David Reid
Michael Grant...good call Johnny
This could be a very long list
Andy Lee
Enzo Mac
Agree and I guess it applies to every Jr. out there. They have the father's name so imagine the pressure they have to carry :-\.Quote:

I dont think folks over in america realise how much over hyped he was but here in the Uk it was a daily barrage of bullshit untill he got knocked out.
I wouldn't write off Chavez jr he seems to be improving every fight. He knocked out an undefeated albeit unknown fighter in Loriga last time out and he seems to have the heart for it IMO. Also I wouldn't say all Juniors turn out that bad look at Roy Jones and Floyd Mayweather there sons both turned out half decent lol.Quote:

I am an Aussie but i was in the UK in 2001 to see Fraudly's first fight against some poor janitor. Your right about the bullshit being talked about him. I remember one commentator saying he is like Lewis but better. That he'd be champ within 10 fights....Quote:

Speak of the devil,I just realized that Grant is having a comeback fight tomorrow night in Philly after being out for a year.McCline knocked him out with a jab.This guy is eventually getting wrecked....again!Quote:

Duddy .
Scott Harrison.
Alex Arthur.
Enzo Mac.
Hamed.
Willie Jorin.
Miranda.
Mike Tyson after he got outta prison.
I think he over achieved in his career. Considering he pretty much fought with only one eyeQuote:
