That is a tough question to answer.

Tyson pretty much cleaned up (with the big exception of Witherspoon; which was not Mike's fault) the fighters collectively known as the 'Lost Generation'

Every Lost Generation fighter, had talent, but for whatever reason (normally drugs), blew their chance to make it, when it mattered.
