Untapped potential

[El Kabong]

Fernando Vargas was the most talented up and coming fighter I have ever seen and was probably pushed too far and too fast too early.

reminds me a little of what just happened to canelo

Fernado also fell in love with his power and stopped boxing as much.

Vernon Forest, he got 2 signature wins over Shane Mosley but once the shoulder injury took his power he was done for. Paul Williams, sadly due to his motorcycle accident he didn't achieve his entire potential which could have been great (though due to the Martinez KO I think he was getting close to his plateau).

You could make this JUST about heavyweights and have a never ending list be it from their injuries, early losses, prison, inactivity, poor match making, psychological instability, drug use: Ike Ibeabuchi, Michael Grant, Andrew Golota, Joe Mesi, Sam Peter, Cris Arreola, Lamon Brewster.....


How good would Lamon Brewster have been had he never injured his knee? He was a hell of a fighter! He probably could have had a better trainer but he really was a solid fighter.
