Carlos Maussa

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.

[OumaFan]

maybe if he hadn't wasted some of his prime years worshipping the devil around campfires in Colombia. Could have spent that time honing his technique. Missed opportunities.

Yeah he had a great KO% but he didn't ever succeed against anyone of note, the exception was catching Viv, but he was way behind when he did. Swinging for the fences doesn't make someone a great, entertaining maybe but not great.

Terry Norris.

I think "Terrible" is a great fighter. I wouldn't list him here....


Some that come to mind:

Earnie Terrell quickly springs to mind
Ike Quartey
Yaqui Lopez

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.
