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

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

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

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.

David Price is a good shout.
I always thought Alex Arthur had it in him to go on to world level, same with Kevin Mitchell.
That Nigerian fella Ajose Olusegun always looked like he might go on, but never really got any big fights and I think he moved on to somewhere else.
Re: Guys we thought were good but ended up bummy?!?
His eye would have kept him from greatness also.
Re: Guys we thought were good but ended up bummy?!?
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.
Bigger man George, bigger punch!

Andrew Maynard was propped up for greatness as well.
