fighters that you thought would do greats things but never quite made it

[Hulk]

One of the best examples has to be Davey Moore. A boy wonder, world champ after just 10 fights at the age of 23.

He faced Roberto Duran in his fourth defense, got knocked out then just wasn't the same fighter. Washed up just a few years later, never got another sniff at a title and died in an accident in 1988 aged 29

One of boxing's saddest stories.

davey moore reminds me of david reid there career took near enough same path

I agree. I've noticed the similarites between them as well. David Reid looked to be something. Till the Tito fight ruined him.
