One situation that baffles though you certainly cannot say he 'blew it' was that of Lt heavyweight contender James Scott in the 70's.Blew it as in he was denied oppurtunity,or thru them away?He ran up a short winning streak on the east coast and then did some crimes,robbery and I believe a murder that saw him jailed in Rahway Prison for life.Whats crazy is that he actually fought some solid fighters while IN prison including wins over Dwight Qawi,Mustafa Muhammed and Yaqui Lopez...the Muhammad fight was aired from the prison on national TV,I believe the Wide world of sports ?
This is killing me.Their was a much hyped heavyweight in the 90's who had some skill and promise.Made the airwaves to start career and then was sent to prison.I think for kidnapping and rape
Cannot think of name
