Guys we thought were good but ended up bummy?!?

[brocktonblockbust]

David the American dream Reid

[ElTerribleMorales]

Bojado
Ortiz
Berto
Guzman
Gamboa (sorry dude never reach the potential or hype that was around him)
Bute


and the list goes on

[SlimTrae]

I'm pretty close to adding Andre Dirrell. Not bummy as much as an underachieving sap

[Sleepwalker]

David Reid. Had skill, but he came out the gate taking hard shots to the head. He didn't have a lick of defense.

[erics44]

Audley
David Price has a long way to go to get anywhere near the potential/expectation he had

[Mark TKO]

Bojado and David Reid defo spring to mind.

Also Pele Reid. Audley and David price of late


A little bit diifferent , as he did hit the heights, but Naseem Hamed's career also left us feeling a little short changed.

[Dark Lord Al]

Saigon Skipper Kelp.
Errol Christie.

[jon09]

David Reid. Had skill, but he came out the gate taking hard shots to the head. He didn't have a lick of defense.

His eye would have kept him from greatness also.

[jon09]

Jorge Luis Gonzales and Audley Harrison come to mind.

David Price is the guy who NEVER got chin checked in the gym, got chin checked in a real fight, and never recovered. Plus, in hindsight, losing to Thompson twice didn't help him a great deal either. Thompson being the gate-keeper in many respects. Price is done. Sad, but some times it goes like that.

David Reid on the other hand was just rushed too early. Never should have had that Trinidad fight at that time. They rushed him and ended his career prematurely. He could have done it, but had it not been for the eye, well....

Jorge Luis Gonzalez gave us the TEMPLATE on what to expect from Cuban fighters that turned pro in America- watch their weight, habits, people they hang with and their partying, then you have a winner like Rigondeaux and an apparent winner like Ortiz. But, if you don't watch all of that, you have Odlanier Solis, Gamboa and Gonzalez.
