Carlos Maussa

What's the joke?

[Put Em' Up]

Good topic. Some of mine are

Ray Mercer- In another era of heavyweights he would have been an animal with his power and chin of granite.

Jerry Quarry- If it were not for Ali, Frazier and Foreman this guy would have been a premier heavyweight in the 1970 era

Virgil Hill- I consider this guy an all time great but for some reason he is overlooked.

I agree with Mercer really good call.

What's the joke?

Probably the best 140 fighter of all time behind Pryor, Chavez and Tszyu

Maussa? I don't think could have ever been a great.

Actually I think Pryor somewhat fits this. He's still a great, but he really could've been greater. I think he's overrated historically despite being a monster in mythical H2H matchups @ 140. Bad luck, and Pryor's own demons, prevented him from being greater than he was. Everyone makes a big thing about Leonard not fighting Pryor, but it's not like they were in the same division anyway. Pryor was unlucky to have the top lightweights willing to fight him, as he probably could've been a two-division champ with titles at 135 and 140.

Regardless of that, he could've been greater if not for his own drug problems.

Fernando Vargas- I'll always say it, he had all the tools, but was rushed way too fast and didn't know how to deal with the pressure

Oscar Larios- I think he could have been awesome, but never fulfilled his full potential
