Biggest boxing BUSTS- Fighters that had hype but no fight!

[ykdadamaja]

Title says it all:

1. Jerson Ravelo- Had commercials and endorsements WAY before they were a thing in boxing. Turned out to be a bust when Allen "Sweetness" Green turned him out and Andre Ward brought out the hoe in him! I thought he had something, honestly. But he was just a dud!

2. Audley Harrison- JUST NEVER HAD IT. Another widely publicized entry into the pro-game, just never had it. Another multi-million dollar endorsement before even lacing up the gloves for a pro fight. Never lived up!

3. David Price- I swear, if he does not retire, he is going to get himself SERIOUSLY injured. The pro-game is not for Price, man. It's not for him. It's over. He is going to get himself hurt. He is done for.

4. Ricardo Williams- 2000 silver medalist at the Olympics. High prospect. Could fight. But could not stay focused enough to leave the streets and the street-life. Just a total waste. He is still young enough to make a comeback, but for all intents and purposes his fight career is over!

I know, I know...Some of you guys wanna say the Charlo's and a few others like Povetkin, etc, etc.... But the Charlo's actually WON something substantial and Povetkin, while he never won a title, he never got dusted by scrubs like these guys. These guys were finished before they even got started!

Anymore mentions?

Audley Harrison got a fat £1 million contract from BBC and wasted our licence fee.

Unfortunately BBC never got involved in boxing again at any meaningful level.

So you never wasted that license fee again?

A few more:
1. Francisco Bojado: Tons of hype around the same time Ricardo Williams was getting his push. Once he raised his level of opposition it all fell apart for him.
2. Mark Breland: Olympic gold medalist thought to be the greatest talent of the magnificent 84 team which included Evander, Whitaker, and Meldrick Taylor, to name a few. Won a couple of titles, but never came close to reaching the levels predicted/expected for him.
3. Howard Davis jr.: Gold medalist who was so dominant and good, people thought of Ray Leonard as a distant second. Never even won a world title as a pro.
4. Zab Judah: Massive hype surrounded this talented phenom. Kostya Tszyu’s right hand brought everything crashing down around him. Won some decent fights and titles, even limping in to the welterweight lineal championship, but never reached the level of hype he received.
